Mark Twain
"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

If cats were people, we would find some of them truly obnoxious. The only way I can tolerate Lily is to remind myself that if Stella booted one of us out of the house, it would not be Lily. As for frequency of pouncing, Esther is worse: she doesn’t like putting up with her long-ago kit, and gives every evidence of telling Lily “why aren’t you gone yet?” every day.
How did Tip react? I hope by putting her in her place!
First off, Tip doesn’t attack anything. She doesn’t like conflict and leaves whenever it might happen, so she is a tempting target for juveniles. Unfortunately for the juveniles, she is the only feral adult who acts that way, so they get knocked about a good bit before they learn the limits.
Esther is a graduate of the Lone Ranger School of Cat Parenting – after weaning they are the enemy.
Ringo barely tolerates her kids, and then it is a matter of them being so much larger than she is.
Put her on your head….. 😉
Moi, I’ll leave that option to my mate Stella, whom Lily tolerates. Lily would literally claw me to pieces if I put her on my head. Or legs. Or anywhere else on my person. 🙂 (Esther and I get along fine, especially if it’s a day when I’m allowed to feed her. I feed Lily too, but to her I’m still the ax murderer.)
Steve, Moi is just rubbing it in because Ollie, the mellowest marmalade in the universe, not only allows you to do it, but is apt to fall asleep on your head if you do it. She posted a link to photographic proof in last Friday’s thread. It really is wild.
It has been my experience that when a female cat invites you to tickle her stomach, it’s a trap.
Awwww… Lutu reminds me so much of my fave cat of old! She looked very similar and was the toughest little cat we ever had! We named her Misty. 😀 Misty lost part of an ear once taking on a big blackbird which she killed! She never backed down from anything. Crazy cat! 😆
*sigh* I miss her though…
She has attitude, but she is going need a tougher target than Tip to get a credibility as a candidate for Alpha.
Bad Lutu! She certainly is a cutie, though. Hope Tip took off before she got attacked.
Tip doesn’t hang around when challenged. She has no interest in fighting.
You seem to be tied up with taking care of the ‘fluffy boys’ recently, OWL. I have a hard time believing any of them would actually catch a mouse, except by accident.
I’m reminded of old Jack, a tuxedo tom who passed years ago. Jack would show up with something dead, usually a squirrel, as if he caught it, and was annoyed when I pointed out that I could see the tire treads on the body.
