Tubby & Peanut's Mom....My daughter will be relieved to hear she is not alone! They got Gabe four years ago, when he was around 10 weeks old. She bought him from a woman with four small little boys. The story was that one of the boys was severely allergic to him. We have since wondered if that was the truth. In the first couple of weeks he would let anyone pick him up, although he was not terribly friendly even then. That was OK until the stalking of visitors started, and a couple of times he has wrapped himself around her mother-in-law's leg and taken a bite. He will bat you on the leg if you get too close to him too. I go over pretty often so he doesn't spazz out too much around me, but if I attempt to pick him up.....watch out!!!

So far he seems totally disinterested in my little grandson. (Funny comment Lynn! LOL! No biting on the part of my grandson, yet anyway! LOL!) We are afraid that will change as he begins to crawl and may invade Gabe's "space." When I think of how much money this little guy cost and how he turned out it is depressing. I guess it's like Tom Hanks said in Forrest Gump....slightly paraphrased...kitties are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you'll get.
