My black girl Lexie on the other hand makes up for it, could not get a sweeter natured kitty, but then she is a tearaway and recks anything in site, no more net curtains upstairs in my house, scratched and torn wallpaper a favourite pass-time of hers, but she is worth it all.

Every cat is different, but i find the females are the ones who don't seem to like each other, i have two backyard kitties i look after and my Lexie changes from a sweet girl to monster kitty when she see's them, she even attacks them through the ranchsliders, mind you one of the girls is just as bad if not worse and ole Ash bless him just takes it in his stride and is not generally bothered by any of them, infact shares his verandah space with them often.

Good luck on your choosing, let us know how you get along.
Soni nudged me to pick him up as soon as I started reading this post. He says, "I am not devious! I promise! *crossed paws*" All in all, he is not TOO destructive. He gets the wicker and regular furniture every couple of days but we're trying to teach him not to while we are in the process of acquiring a non-carpeted scratching post.

That sounds like Soni, he is pretty loving and easy going. He is too friendly for his own good seeing as how someone that my husband and I live with let him outside (knowing that he's not supposed to go out) and he got hurt yesterday. He is limping and I will try and get him to the vet tomorrow. =(
