What makes Cuddles so mean?

Cuddles is my 9-year-old gray tabby mix. She's paranoid, psychotic, very picky about how clean her litter-box is (if it's not clean enough she'll go on the floor), and loves to chew up my arm. Several people, after one such occasion, asked me if I was one of those people that liked to cut myself. I simply answered that I had a cat. I will never forget the horrified looks that remark received.

Cuddles was named long before she became a psycho. She was picked out of a litter of kittens at a local animal shelter, and she has an immense fear of strangers, especially men. Despite her weird and evil ways, she's a well-loved, spoiled, and chubby kitty.
