when I first got her. She liked to attack feet too. I couldn't sit around in stocking feet. I had t always wear slippers for a couple years until she mellowed out a little.

I think he might be a handful, for a while. VERY playful but sometimes gets far too rough. Likes to gnaw on my fingers and swat me in the face. Fortunately I've found his 'sweet spot' and a few well placed scritches seems to work. Well, most of the time. My next move is the spritz bottle.

I'm beginning to identify with those mama lions I watch of the Wild Earth safari drives.

6. We've had our cat for 15 years. About a month ago, she started fighting me for my TV recliner.

Claws and teeth.... full fledged war. This went on for two or three days. Finally, I just tipped the chair and she got off.

No other aggression was exhibited, just about the chair.

9. My arms and legs carry the evidence of me trying to give Sophie a daily dose of CBD

I've kind of given up and resorted to calming gel that goes on her paws, and the Mirataz, from the vet, for her appetite. Both seem to be working so I'll let my wounds heal and try sneaking the CBD into her food.

12. Agree, I love his show My Cat From Hell. It really examines the cat psyche and how to best care for
