Spastic Cat

My first kitty was like that, I miss her so much even to this day .... she was born in 1974.

This is true. I have had a couple, though, that seemed very in tuned to me and attentive. The first one, was the one we got while we lived in NY. We got her for my son. She had to be right up under him. But she was protective of the whole family. The second is one that I have now. She is not the one mentioned in the post. This cat is so sweet. She patiently waits for her food. If I am upset, she gets all snuggly. If I am happy, she wants to play. She lets me hold her whenever I want, and is always calm. She is quite unusual for a cat.

The cat I mentioned in the post is exactly like that. She was snuggling around my neck last night. She wanted me to pet her and she was eating up the attention. She got down to go play for a while. Then she came back and jumped up on the arm of my chair. Without warning, she just bit my wrist then left. Even though she is bipolar (as I call her), she will protect the family. If someone she doesn't know comes in the house, she stalks them. If they move too suddenly or get animated, she will attack their legs. She also attacks the dog everytime he runs in. If he comes in calmly and sits down and behaves, she will just stare at him. But if he gets hyper and starts acting crazy, she will attack him and she always wins.

@gnatsmom Oh dear! I don't blame you for calling her bipolar lol as I have called my cat that too at times! I am glad that she is protective of you all. That's really sweet!
