Wednesday sounds like Mr. PV. He was one of the most aloof catz I ever had. He was sly and subtle, and when we would have company, he would check them out nonchalantly, then pick the cat-hater and sail into said lap.
I loved it! LOL!
Wednesday likes to sit 3 or 4 feet away on the floor, so I have to make a real effort to pet her. Makes her feel important!
