What makes Cockleburr so mean?

Here is a photo of Her Royal Majesty, The Queen Cockleburr, The World's Grouchiest Cat. Okay, her name is really just Cockleburr but she responds better if you add the royal title. I had another photo of her where she had brought me a rabbit after she chewed it's head off but I didn't think that picture was really appropriate for your site.

This cat is 10 years old and was a rescue from my grandmother's farm. Our neighbor's full size, purebred German Shepherd is terrified of her. She is the Ruler of the neighborhood, unless it's some raccoon or opossum. Battles with the latter animals have resulted in several trips to the vet to get her shaved and stitched. Despite being Queen, she does NOT like to wear that little Elizabethan collar when she has stitches and takes it out on humans by biting us.

Cockleburr's hobbies include biting feet, biting hands, biting scalps (I still haven't figured that one out), chasing strings attached to clothing, shredding furniture and clothing [the better to make strings to chase], and torturing and eating small mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds. She also enjoys sleeping on humans (which explains why I sometimes wake up thinking that I'm having a heart attack. Your chest would feel heavy too if you had an eleven pound cat on it!)
