Many years ago, I had a Russian Blue cat named Stubby. He got this name because he rode into the fire station where my husband worked, and had burned his paws and tale pretty bad from wherever he was perched. I went out and lured him from under the car and promptly took him to the vet where his paws were treated, but unfortunatly his tail had to be amputated. Anyway,,, he was never really fond of being petted and would just tolerate it for a short time. When he had enough he would nip at the offending hand and jump down. That cat lived 20 yrs and died in my arms. The little devil had the nerve to reach back and bite me with his dieing breath!!!!
