And now for my old kitty, Gorilla, who lives with my ex.
Is she cute or WHAT???
She was born in May, 1992, so she is approaching the older cat designtaion. In fact, she has started making those funny groaning noises older cats make. Trying to pretend she doesn't want to be petted. Thinks she can fool us. Hah!
Unfortunately, she's a total xenophobic. When she hears the doorbell ring, she runs to the bedroom and scurries under the bed. She used to leap up onto the 7-feet-up molding that runs around the bedroom (this was the dining room originally, and the molding was for displaying a fancy plate collection. Or something). No, she didn't leap from the floor--you'd have seen us on David Letterman if she could leap seven feet!!! (She leapt from a desk.) Of course, in typical cat fashion, she would then think she couldn't get down (this is only after the scary-monster-stranger has left, obviously), so she'd whine and meow and eventually leap down.
