You know, sometimes it just doesn't pay to be nice just so
you can get food, not when there's fresh doggie on the paw around to
eat.

What makes Ms. Chatelaine so mean?
Perhaps if Ms.
Chatelaine were truly French, she'd be slightly more mean,
but that is doubtful. Nine years ago, she was a cute little
stray who loved to play hide and seek. All that changed when she was brought indoors. She started out being a little
pissy, but now she has turned to simple, unadulterated meanness.
When her brothers, Eddie and Taz, dare to enter a room she
is occupying, she growls and hisses or has a complete fit and
runs off to destroy a piece of furniture or the new carpet. She
hates all men, no matter what the species, and even females
are only tolerated for a minute or two.
She is also a
master manipulator when hungry. She will rub around on your legs
and ankles as you pour food in her bowl, but it is all an act.
If she could pour her own food, she'd rather scratch your
eyes out than be nice. And being that she is the only kitty in
the house with claws, she tends to show them off a lot. We have
lost several pieces of furniture to her kitty-work, including
one very nice leather chair that she shredded when we
weren't around. My husband Dan has suffered multiple
injuries at Ms. C's paws, as has my Jack Russell Terrier,
Frankie. He often turns up with a big chunk of flesh missing
from his face. But I suppose he should know better by now. When
you mess with a mean kitty, you get the claws!
