Francine is an 11 year old Maine Coon, with large, luminous eyes and a 'need to knead'. Unless you're standing upright, you can count on Francine for a lengthy 'massage', usually on a more sensitive part of your anatomy. (Ouch!)
Her personality runs to the extremes. She is either haughty and regal ~ "I do not wish for you to touch me, thank you." ~ or ~ almost pathetically needy. "Please! Can you not see that I'm desperate for 112 more scratches behind my ears?!"
Her nickname is 'Carpet Cat'. She can be thoroughly Furminated twice a day and still shed enough fur to lightly carpet any given surface. My vacuum cleaner only visits the closet when I have company ~ such is the shedding problem.
She only has one 'trick' ~ that of a skunk. She does not like being brushed out and will show her displeasure with 'on command' flatulence. First, she tries wrangling away, then ~ hissing and growling. If neither form of protest results in her release, she then resorts to 'silent but deadly'.
That always works.
