This is Susie. The old Susie when she was evil and annoying as hell.
Susie came to me as a gift from a client who found her as a stray some time ago. Cute little thing. Quite small for her age (the vet says she's likely 2 years old).
Anyhow, shortly after receiving this little bundle of joy, I came to discover just how demonic a female cat in heat can be. The noises are the horrid utterances one would expect to hear rising from the bowels of hell.
In addition, this little 2 lb. writhing fur ball of sexual energy seemed to want to constantly mate with an imaginary tom cat that somehow was growing out of my shoulder. Night and day made no difference. Ignoring her would cause this creature to break any rules previously laid out and agreed to simply in order to attract my attention. Climbing on the entertainment console, scurrying up drapes, batting paperwork and equipment from the desk, nothing was taboo any longer.
Well, we fixed that! Or I should say the vet fixed that. After uncerimoniously stuffing Susie into her carrier she was swept away to the clinic and returned home the same day a changed creature.
I suspect we now have a cat that will live like other of her species. Totally ignoring me. No longer crawling onto my lap at all times and nudging my ankles while I make the rounds of my lodgings.
But the peace. The sweet, sweet peaceful nights. Worth it? YES I say YES !
Update: August 21, 2006. What a sweetie, she's completely reformed and I'm happy to say is an absolute joy to live with. Mind you, her appetite has increased and she's gaining weight.
