I have to agree, I don't like people playing rough with my baby either. Even though he doesn't get close enough to other to let them even try.

My brother was over one time and Cubby went up to him and started rubbing against his leg, (very unusual for him) and Sean picked him up and was petting him. Seans friend reach over to pet him and Cubby just looked at with that look of don't you dare touch me. After Sean put Cubby down his friend stomped his foot towards Cubby, Cubby took off and hid. And his friend was laughing and saying my cat is a wuss. All I said to him was, either you grow up or you can get out of my house. Sean looked at his friend and said what if I did that to your dog? Wouldn't you be pisse* at me for it. The guy stopped laughing and hasn't tried anything with my cat again!

Another time, my neice was over and she was here long enough for Cubby to trust her a little bit. Cubby was laying next to my computer chair. My neice walked over and started to pet him. He got tired of it and got up to walk away when all of the sudden she hauls off and punches him in the face. I just looked at her and picked her up by her arms set her on the couch and turned off the tv, and told her she is to sit there with out the tv, radio, computer and Cubby, until her grandma comes to get her. She had to sit there a little over an hour.

Before she left I asked her if she would ever hit my cat or any other animal again and she said no, because that means no cartoons!
