tinster, thanks for the compliment, yup thems is cats! my second siamese did not like a girlfriend of mine, though she had her own keys to my apartment "caruso" named for his loud singing would not let her in, she was petrified of that cat, one morning i woke up to a death scream, running into the bathroom there she stood naked having just stepped out of the shower attemping to comb her hair with "caruso" hanging onto the girls right rump every claw deeply secured and not wanting to let go, i had to tackle her to the floor to get the cat unhooked, it was a bloody mess, she gave me a choise "its me or the cat", i kept the 4 legged one! "caruso" would run around the living room walls like one of those motor bikes in a round cage.
