Yes, I will eat your liver.
[Editor: I will give her credit for being tough. When convincing kittens to get out of my Mother’s car, normally the spray bottle is enough. A few require the SuperSoaker, but Lucrezia was unmoved until the garden hose. She is determined.]

she sure doesn’t look like a pushover here.
i’ve been wondering what to name my gray tabby. i’ll have to try this one on for size.

Lucia is good if they are crazy [di Lammermoor], but Lucrezia is for the evil [Borgia]. Both are call Lucy and there have many several of each type over the years.
The vet who deals with the ferals and has been on Animal Planet for some of his work on wildlife said of the last Lucia “I don’t ever want that cat in this clinic again.”
He was over reacting. I paid for the blinds, and got her down into a carrier. The med tech wasn’t really that badly injured, and I did leave them my welding gauntlets to deal with her. I warned them that she would seem nice and then explode. I do admit I didn’t know it was even possible for a cat to climb a painted concrete block wall.
😆
the painted concrete block would be a bit more of a challenge than stucco, i would think.
i’ve always liked the name lucia, but i don’t think it applies to anyone here at chez hipparachia [other than me]. lucrezia might be overly evil for mine, but i was at one point considering lizzie.

No fascination for edged weapons, I hope?
Ah, to sleep, perchance to dream, but more likely to have Sox plop down on some part of me in a couple of hours.
nope. and not even much interest in wielding the pointy weapons of teeth and claws either. but the steely look and deep growl, she’s got those mastered.

Who would have thought that a monster lurks within such a sweet looking cat. Perhaps the M on the forehead stands for Monster.
I have advised Ted. He is currently looking to extend his franchise of evil

One tough kitty. 🙂

Hipparchia, good candidate for an alpha, but a lightning fast paw would help with advancement.
I would have Ted watch his back, Jams, as the original Lucrezia was well known for the men in her life expiring at a young age.
She has potential, LK, but she hasn’t interacted with the elders of the tribe. They will give her free run for another month, then she will learn her place in the social ranking,
Lucrezia at the vet reminds me of Kaylee at the vet… all sweet curiosity until the tech tried to handle her, then *slash, slash, YIKE!*.
Kaylee has mellowed out considerably since then, however, and I suppose Lucrezia never will.
The vet story was about an earlier cat. There is a snowball’s chance in hell that I would ever be able to trap Lucrezia.
Luchia, on the other hand, was a sweetheart until she had her little episodes.
Dot is a sweetheart, until you try to put her in the cat carrier. I use a medium dog carrier for her, because if she gets a paw on anything until she is inside, she becomes all claws and teeth.
With Sox the problem is getting him out of the carrier in a strange location.
When I see the videos of cat shows with people just picking cats up and moving them around with ease, all I can think is “how come I’ve never encountered a cat like that?”
Lucrezia McEvil? ;D
She is a real challenge in the yard.
Ollie has a huge mouth. If I were Pippin I’d be worried.
