Yes. I have an adorable cat...she sleeps in my bed next to me, when I am on the computer she'll butt her face in my way and sit next to me and likes to drag her toys around the house. She purs and sleeps a lot too, but no one seems to see this but me. What they see is a little demon cat who hisses and scratches and follows people up the stairs. She'll turn on you before you realize it happened and leave scratches on your arm. Ah zoey. Despite her jekyll and hyde approach I love her and would like to give her some honor and love today....
