Well, we have these 3 cats. Useless animals, cats. Abso-friggin-lutely useless. Sasquatch, the only male (if you could still call him that) is Brett's cat, and is cool. He wants attention, 3-4 strokes a day, then leave him the heck alone. Fudge (Monica's cat) is pretty and sweet, and fairly easy to live with. She likes a bit more attention, but she gets the hint if you toss her off the bed.
Then, there's Snowbell. This pure white bundle of ignorance is a waste of oxygen. Seriously. There is no use on earth for this cat. She is stupid (walking-into-walls and falling-over stupid) and useless. Have I mentioned that she's useless? She has almost killed herself a couple of times with her stupidity. Once, she hung herself in the hammock and had to be cut free, another time she was dragging around a WalMart bag full of shampoo/conditioner/soap with her neck. Sometimes she swats in the air....at NOTHING!
Tonight, she decided she needed attention from Kevin. Fudge was up there beside him for a bit, lying quietly and sleeping...just enjoying human companionship. Sasquatch jumped up for his 3 pats, then gave the look that says, "OK, I'm going to sleep now, so leave me alone, ok?" Then Snowbell jumped up on the bed. Kevin was nice enough to pet her a time or two, and she wouldn't get out of his face. He put her gently on the floor. She jumped back up. He patted her gingerly, then said, "Go Away!" and put her on the floor. She immediately jumped RIGHT back up.
At this point, I thought he might kill her, but he didn't. He said, calmly, "Why don't you realize that I hate you? I mean, go away before I get mean!" and he put her on the floor again. By now, I was watching from the corner of my eye. Yup. She jumped right back up there. He said, "all right, let's see how you like this!" and started rubbing her fur the wrong way. She didn't mind at all. In fact, she settled in for a long stay!
He got up and went back to his computer. The way I see it, it's Snowbell-4, Kevin-0. She won. Poor Kevin, can't catch a break.
This is Snowbell. (yeah, she likes playing on, and lying on, paper...for no good reason.)

It's just a good thing he didn't hurt her; I'd tell Natalie, and THEN he'd have hell to pay.
Perhaps she is deaf. Many white cats are and that would explain her dumbness. I had a deaf white cat for 18 years. He learned sign lanuage of sorts and was very sight aware of everything that moved.
2 vets have asked, "Can she hear?" which prompted us to ask, "why do you ASK that?" Yeah, she might be partially deaf, but not completely...we've done certain checks. If we shake the cat treats downstairs, she runs from upstairs, so she's not completely deaf. I told Kevin, "maybe she only hears certain tones?" He called (in a deeper, evil sounding voice...) "kitty kitty kitty"..not funny, hon.
Snowball sounds like a cool cat. I like her just from that story. Russ
Snowball is not stupid. I tell you what when uou are really down the love that cat will give you, will lift you up. I had one like that.
Aww...if y'all don't want her, I'll take her!!! :) My kids are already calling me The Scary Cat Lady anyway, so one more would be ok...hee hee.....
My kitty Cha Cha likes being rubbed the wrong way, but the other one...eeek. Nobody may pet her but me or she must bathe immediately after being touched. (maybe I don't have cooties like everybody else? LOL)

If I was gonna get rid of a cat, I mean, pick one of the three to ditch, it would be Snowbell. The problem is: The kid who loves animals more than any I've ever seen is Natalie, Snowbell's owner. This kid loves animals, and would "just die" if anything ever happened to the cat in question. Do I want rid of this cat? Yeah. Can I justify it? No. I mean, Dad wants cats for the barn, and she has her claws and stuff, but NOPE. It's Natalie's cat. We're stuck with her.
