I'm in Shock
Scene: Last night when all the cats were on the counter where there
food bowls are. Bear, the d*g is standing by, ready to eat any food that falls on the floor. All the cats are milling around and eating and then coming over to be petted. I am petting Winny because he keeps hooking my wrist with his paw and pulling it onto his head; and then I pet Maggie May and she is purring like she has a hidden motor, and Sunrise is posing for publicity stills but gets some petting also. And then I realize that I have been petting MISSY for at least a couple of strokes. She is looking at me as if I have goen (more) INSANE. She doesn't hiss. She doesn't bite me or claw me. I try one more skritch. She tolerates it but then goes over beyond the food bowls so that the crazy hoomin cannot tempt fate again. No damage resulted to either party. Will in New Haven |

Maybe she will slowly come around to accepting some pettins. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban |

Maybe she'll end up discovering that some humans aren't so terrible after all. Joyce |

WE assumed that she finally realized who was in charge and that it is HER. Maybe it's more than that. Maybe she has mellowed toward Hooomins, she has always gotten on well with the other cats and famously with Bear. Will in New Haven |
