What makes Mischa so mean?
Mischa is schizophrenic. She
is either totally timid, afraid of noises, other cats, dogs, the
vacuum cleaner, lawn mower etc, or the complete opposite.
One thing she is never afraid of is
the cat brush or whoever is using it on her. Show her the
brush and she goes into immediate attack mode, taking flesh with her.
When she's in her tigress mode, she arches
her back, moving sideways like a crab, and
dares you to move. If you do, she attacks ankles, calves,
knees, and enjoys pouncing from nowhere and kicking me in the
legs before running off and hiding, ready to pounce once more.
She has a scratching post which has not been touched because she
prefers to shred the couches and dining chairs.
When just
a kitten, her favourite pastime was to climb the feature brick
walls to the ceiling. She will drink from nothing but the
birdbath in the yard, which she has to stretch from rocks to
reach.
