Practices pre-emptive yowling. I don't actually have to step on her toes. If I get within an inch, she screams like a banshee and runs from the room.

This kitty has a tendency to be over-dramatic.

that infers you might have done it on purpose? THAT'S why we go so overboard with the apologies

to stepping on her. I've never actually stepped on her but she gives me a big hiss and a glare if I step over her, like "Don't you even think of stepping on me with those big fat clumsy human feet!" *Hiss*

they inevitably screech and it scares the hell out of me. I end up against the wall clutching my chest. Luckily I don't have a heart condition.

I'm sure she'll forgive you by the end of the day. Sooner, if you give her some treats.

...used to attack blogslut jr. when I accidentally stepped on her. Now that blogslut jr. is on her own, The Meanest Cat in the World™ attacks me just because it's Wednesday or because I laugh too hard or I give up trying to figure her out.

He would hang around my feet sometimes, like when I was in the kitchen. The next thing I know, I've given myself a leg cramp trying to move away fast enough as he runs out of the room, and then I'm holding him, checking his foot, and he's like, "What? I forgive you. No big deal."

she is a champ at being underfoot and she ran right under my feet. she was very indignant about it, but it was her own damn fault, so i didn't apologize. i'm a mean hoomin.
