The psycho cat

This is Angel.  She is a cat we adopted from outside a grocery store several years ago.  Her mother died and she needed a home quickly.  We are such softies and she became part of our family.  This photo shows a very mellow kitty.  This is her favorite position for her catnaps.  However, the photo deceives her true motive.  Look at her eye.  What she's really doing is watching your every move; waiting for the chance to pounce!  She can be as sweet and the most gentle creature and then in the next instant she turns into Psycho Cat.  The name "Angel" is truly a misnomer!  She will be sitting contently on your chest purring up a storm and then if you try to move her off she brings forth a truly guttural deep growl.  It makes you tremble with fear not knowing if she'll strike or not.  My son, Martin, is one of the two people that Angel does not growl at.  Hammie, my nephew, is the other one.  They are both ten years old and somehow they've created a bond with Angel that no one else has.  I should mention that her other nickname is "Attack Cat".  That says it all!
