One annoying thing that Vinny does is to sidle up to you as you're sitting or standing and act as if he wants you to pick him up. (He rubs around your ankles and purrs and looks very cute indeed.) Then, when you reach out to grab him, he evades you by either ducking or stepping back just out of reach. He seems to find it quite amusing to watch you stooping and swiping at thin air! GRRR!
