Yes - it looks innocent and sweet. Then you decide to pet it. Which is, apparently, a damnably offensive thing to do. However, once you start petting you do, at some point, feel inclined to stop. Which is, from my experience, even worse than starting the petting. Stopping is when you get the claws. The claws that leave the scars...

Ellen needs to invest in "soft claws". They are for sale at PetsMart. Artifical nails that fit over kitty cats claws.

No I don't. :) She does not scratch us. She just scratches Ron. :)

That might be because I know the truth - cats are evil incarnate!

Preach it from the rooftops, brothers and sisters!

Perhaps Ron should not try to pet Coco!

Ron how many cats currently reside at your home?

7. And 1 dog. And roughly 40 fish.

Outback at the two different bird feeders we see somewhere in the neighborhood 50+ birds, to include starlings, pigeons, doves, finches, and the occasional hummingbird.

Now, mind you, this doesn't change my opinion that, if you dig far enough into any religion, you'll see that evil incarnate has fur and purrs, all while plotting your death.

I forgot - just because you are paranoid does not mean that some cat is NOT out to get you! ROTFLMAOPIMP
