I have had many a cats, and know many a cats. I have had kittens, young cats, rescued cats, and kittens that I have known their whole lives. I have met some really odd cats in my life (and Lilycat's! Her cats are O.D.D.).

I recently adopted little Cali, a more sweet and loving kitten you will not find. She craves affection like a duck takes to water. She is in your face, on your lap, under your covers (and nearly rolled over on this am...), and shows absolutely NO aggressive traits whatsoever. She is a complete and total love-bug.

Until it comes to food. This little whippet growls- I mean full out- GROWLS if I go to put more wet food into her bowl, remove food from her clutches (she eats in a nano second, and starts in on others food before I can get the bowls away to the other cats), if I pick her up from her food, etc. It seems mostly directed at me rather than the other cats...though they are busy eating their own food that it might be that someone else hasn't approached her, yet.

She has never gone to bite or swipe at me...it is just a growl. Has anyone ever experienced this?
