What makes Holly so mean?
We got Holly in December of
2002. She was so named because of the Christmas season. We
took to calling her Holly Berry because she was so sweet and
cute. She's still a pretty cat and she can be sweet, IF she
wants to be! Why is she a mean kitty?
1. Although she lives in a
household of 4 cats, she thinks she should be THE cat. She
randomly attacks her brother and sisters. She used to love
her brother Chip, two months younger. I have pictures of
them cuddled and sleeping. Now she hates his guts and hisses
every time she sees him or if he sniffs her (she, of course,
reserves the right to sniff his behind whenever she wants!).
2. She thinks she is the queen
of my bed and will chase the other cats off.
3. She is a foodie and her
figure shows it. (One of her nicknames is Short Round.) She
comes running when she hears the pop of a cat food can lid
and pushes the other cats away from the dish. She may have
already eaten, but that doesn't matter. Holly comes first!
4. She has to be the center of
attention. She sits on my paper when I try to work the
crossword puzzle. When I am at the computer, she stands in
front of the screen or sits on top of my hand and the mouse
pad to keep me from working. ACK! Here she is now! When I am
doing my paper crafts, she sits on my supplies, even though
I have given her a canvas tote bag in her own corner of the
table. If you try to move her from any of these spots, she
doesn't just bite you, she GNAWS on your arm.
5. If I don't move fast enough
to do what she wants, she yells at me. It sounds an awful
lot like cursing.
This is why she is now called
Holly Beast, or just Beast, instead of Holly Berry.
