Richard is one of four cats I'm caring for.  He is a complete bastard wrapped inside a sweet cat!  Although since I last clipped his toenails, he hasn't bitten me for 3 months.

If I don't get up to feed him when he wants it, he progresses from dismantling the bedroom door to knocking down things out of spite.  Richard weighs 18 pounds and has a abnormal heart, so I fear to discipline him.  But there are times when he gets yelled at and chased around the house regardless of whether it will give him a heart attack.

I have two big scars on my left arm from him biting the heck out of me.  He split my lip open last summer when I was playing with him.  Once the pupils dilate and he starts huffing and puffing...watch out!!!  I have lived with this cat for 3 years and have been caring for him the past 9 months while my friend is going to school in NY.  I think he's realized since I have to medicate him twice daily for his heart, he shouldn't attack me.  Instead he hogs the pillows and attacks the other cats.

Now that I think of it, he's got all the qualities of my ex...hee hee!
