She has been sitting at the window for about two hours, pining for ginger boy to come home. (He's got a new mate in one of the feral farm cats!) Every time I tried to pick her up for a cuddle and fuss she gave me the feline equivalent of F off and resumed her position.
Scabbers the Ginger strolls in for his dinner and she's straight on my lap and biffing my face, pummelling, etc. It was a proper "we've been having SUCH a nice time without YOU!" I do love them!!

Totally!! Is yours a good hunter as well? I've never known a cat like her - and get this - when she realised I was going to throw out her offerings of dead shrews, she started hiding them under things like the TV unit and bookcase! I swear she knew I'd struggle to find them and get them out.

My naughty tortie likes to torture lizards. She will bring them into the house and play and play with them until they die. She goes through phases of hunting though. She likes the spring when there are lots of vulnerable young around 
She currently curled up in my bed, with her ginger tom brother. Basically they have the run of the house. They know that they will get whatever they want from us, we are pathetic in our attempts to please them! The dogs however are kept firmly in their place.

Norbert, if our cat try's to trip me up dh shouts "no, at the TOP of the stairs like we agreed".

accidental I am pathetic too. I made the ginger boy a hot water bottle and wrapped it up and put it in his bed 
fluffy she really is! She is not friends with the farm cats - not sure why. She's always been the more confident of the two, but when I'm home seems to longer around the house a lot more, while the ginger goes off around the farm.
Norbert I shouldn't laugh because I'd be gutted if a cat pissed in my laundry....haha! And YES, going down the stairs can be a dangerous experience!

Mine stuck her foot into the bath this evening, hooked her claws into my big toe, and bit it. Then let go and purred at me, did the hunch-back-quiver-tail self-satisfied boogie, and buggered off. Way to ruin the relaxation .

Oh.. am reading this with a certain amount of trepidation as tortie kitten is about to start going outside...
If the way she attacks our feet is anything to go by, not much will survive once she's out hunting 
On the other hand she's really affectionate when she's not ripping our hands to shreds

my black female will kiss me and be adorably cuddly.... when she's hungry. try and cuddle her when she's not hungry and she's liable to claw my face off.
I feel so loved

My tortie only ever sits on my lap much as the kids desperately try to encourage her to sit on theirs! My husband says it's because I'm lazy and she knows once she gets curled up and comfy she won't have to move for a while
