Randi, yes, kitty-love does the same thing. But as of writing this he has abruptly stopped the howling, but Cookie has continued even more loudly than last week. The way Cookie acts it appears as though she is in a false heat, because she was neutered last May or June.

As far as jumping cats goes, the cat I have to watch is Tiger, ( a lynx-point siamese) when she is extra-hungry, she will jump on my shoulders, and stay there until I feed her, separate from the rest of the 11, or she will purposely jump on me while I am in bed, but awake and seriously considering getting up. Tiger is one of the heaviest cats I have, weighing somewhere in the vicinity of 8 lbs.
