Nicki is absolutely TERRIFIED of flies. Yes, common household flies. Thank God we have two expert fly catching kitties!

She doesn't deal well with stress. When we moved, when our Sam-dog died, and when we got Pouncer we had to put her meds for months after each event! She was making nice big licky-wounds (I forget their proper name... but they're from stress.)She has what you might call a nervous condition!

She lets the cats walk all over her. If they want the bed, she'll move. If they are eating or drinking from her bowl, she'll stand back and bark at the bowl - waiting for us to pick up the cat so she can eat/drink.

She also apparently thinks we are not allowed to kiss anybody. We leave her as chaperone with my son on his couch dates because she barks her head off anytime someone tries to kiss!
