Thanks Viola, I had never heard of him. I love cats and dogs and I am always fascinated with them and why they do the things they do. I have done some reading on the Meyers Briggs personality typing, and I believe animals have the same basic personality differences as people, some are extroverted, some introverted, etc. I had a nasty, revenge pooping cat, completely malajusted, although we raised from from a kitten, and he had never been abused. It took me years to figure out that half the time he was in a snit over something, he would just disappear. After a few days pouting, he would poop somewhere inappropriately, then he would be ready to acknowledge your existence again. My ex husband used to go on business trips, she did not like that, and would poop in his computer case when he got home. That one kind of made me happy, as I usually got stuck with clean up, lol.
Lizzie is a great cat, but she can be hard to handle, high energy, high curiosity, a little high strung. I think she might have been abused, any tension in the house and she come unglued. She does not like it if I go into the yard without her, it's like it's physically painful, she has ripped curtains and broken curtain rods due to this. She will try to calm herself down by crawling under a blanket, usually if you leave her alone she will settle down and come out after 15 or 20 minutes. But don't touch the blanket or she will grab your hand. But this is happening less and less, so I think she is doing better.
