My cat is always a little bit on the wild side, even though she's completely tame. She's a rescue and was born to a feral cat but has never really been wild herself. She has quite the temper, being quite mean at times when she wants to be. I wish I had a sweet, lovable cat, but in her own way she can be quite the ravishing beauty and is sometimes just as loving as can be, but always under her own terms of course. She has a hair-trigger temper that goes off at a moment's notice, often not requiring much of a "trigger" at all. She doesn't like being held, or kissed, doesn't like being fussed over, and prefers to give out cuddles in her own way, usually by draping herself over my ankles while I'm sleeping. She's also a biter, and seems to enjoy sinking her teeth into my hands and arms. She likes to go for the hands and will watch them quite closely as if the mere act of touching her is inviting a wild and crazy game of some sort. Oddly enough, that very same cat is a kisser, giving out frequent smooches with her tongue, even though she doesn't like to get 'people' style kisses at all. Basically, what I'm saying is that she's all cat, with all of the temperament that goes with it. I think she has an alpha-cat personality, actually, and won't back down for anything. I have to be just as stubborn to keep her under control or she'd definitely become queen of the household... but then again, perhaps I'm not as in control as I think. I just happen to be the one who possesses the thumbs... and the can opener.
