Aaaw poor Nellie! How could you spend time with that dog!

Samantha is the only one of our cats who gets offended and only when we go on holiday. When we come back, she makes a huge fuss of us, purring, rubbing, snuggling and chatting for about half an hour. Then she doesn't speak ot us - totally ignores us at least until the next day (it used to be two days).

My Mum's cat is absolutely hilarious. He has a real temper. He doesn't get out at night, but a couple of weeks ago he wanted out after midnight. My Mum was reading in bed and just ignoring him. Suddenly he snapped. He stormed up the stairs (all 9 kilos of him), flung open the door so that it came right back and hit the bedside cabinet, and shouted MEEEEEOOOW at the top of his voice! Oh was he mad.

I don't think she could sleep for laughing, but quietly, so he didn't hear.
