She's nice when
she wants to be and only she knows when that
is. She was on a friend's lap one day, and
he was petting her and she was purring as if
she enjoyed it. Because her tail seems to be
the only true indicator of her intentions, I
knew she was, in fact, going to attack. I
warned him that he was about to become a
blood donor, but her purring had him
convinced otherwise. He left with bloody
claw marks on his arm.Recently she
discovered that, by slapping a piece of
loose weather stripping, she could get me to
open the front door any time she wants. It
makes a lot of noise and she does not give
up, no matter what time it is. Sometimes she
doesn't actually feel like coming in, so she
will run away when I answer the door and
then come back a few minutes later to make
me open the door again.
She's also been implicated in attempted
assaults on small neighborhood dogs.

2007:
I cannot in good conscience allow Sasha
to remain in with the other meankitties.
Shortly after I made the submission, I moved
from Phoenix to Seattle. I moved her up
first to stay with a friend for three weeks.
The situation was rougher on her than I
expected, between my friend's Bull Mastiff
and the raccoons, and by the time I made the
final move she had reformed. She is now a
very nice, ocial kitty who realizes life is
difficult without human. She enjoys sitting
on my lap, cuddling up with me at night and
plays without using her claws. She was also
very happy to see the dog, whom she now
tolerates very well.
