For cat-lovers: Did you know that Maine Coon Cats get very large and that they are probably the friendliest breed? Also, they tend to be polydactyl (and quite trainable). Fluffy used to wait at the back door every night at supper-time for my grandfather to come up for supper. Grampa would take off his jacket or outer shirt and throw it on the cat, and he'd lie there waiting patiently until the coat was taken off him. You could put that cat in a heavy paper bag and twist up the top, and he'd wait until you told him "OK", then he'd claw his way out of that bag in a couple of seconds.

My grandparents' cat was an orange coon and he was huge. They had to keep him tied up on a run when they let him out after neighbors complained about him ripping up their dogs. That whole street was HIS, and in the 50's and early 60's people were allowed to let their dogs run free. Pity the poor dogs that crossed paths with Fluffy. It's ironic that he had to be tied up, and not the neighborhood dogs. (G-parents were sensitive to the concerns of neighbors, so Fluffy got tied up and the dogs didn't.)

Funny you mention that behavior, my cat does the same. Changing sheets on the bed, no problem. She is right there and loves the sheet thrown on top of her and will wait to you do something to move or aggravate her. Putting clothes away, throw a large piece of clothing on her, same deal. She will only fight back when you start pushing her around under whatever is on top. Funny to watch. Cat quirks, got to love em...
That whole street was HIS
I have one adjective to add to that coon cat in addition to his/her name: "Ghost" Kitty.

Rhody... :devil:

Fluffy was a kitty once. As he matured, he became a force to be reckoned with. He was unfailingly gentle with us grand-kids, but my grandfather's hands had a growing collection of scratches and scars from their evening play-dates. He'd pick Fluffy up by the head saying "look what a big cat he is", and that cat would go absolutely limp until he was released - then it was time for the hand-attacks. That cat was a hoot.
