This is Idgie. He loves his mamma (note the crazy smile/"wah?" as she snaps his picture). But he hates everyone else - unless they're feeding him, of course. When it's time for food, Idgie assumes you will forget what you're doing until the food is in front of his face. Thus he will SCREAM (not even close to a simple ole' meow; we're talking SHRIEKING here) from the moment he thinks anyone is awake until the food bowl is in front of his face. You'd think he'd learn by now we're NOT going to forget!!

My poor roommate suffers the most. I always thought they'd learn to get along, but over the past few years, I've lost all such innocence. Idgie refuses to like her. A simple movement on the couch will elicit hissing, growling, the occasional spitting. Any attempt at discipline is an exercise in futility. The vet recommended water bottle spraying. Idgie just sat there and took it, getting wetter and wetter, glaring at me in that "You will SO pay for this" kinda way.

My roommate and Idgie share the love in those rare moments she has food in her hand, but that's it. I've recommended she carry tuna in her pockets, but for some reason she hasn't gone there yet.
