Thank you so very much! I'm used to much smaller boards, and this one is massive. Your help is much appreciated.

I know I'm not supposed to post images from google, but I included the link it belongs to, so I hope it's OK.
This is the spitting image of Sushi the Demon Cat. I've never had such a....challenging....feline. Aside from the constant howling, he's broken every lamp, plant and knick-knack in the house. He's shredded my couch down to the bare wood, despite having two scratching posts. He steals food relentlessly, despite being fed three times a day. He stole a couple of sausages right off the grill last summer, and I couldn't find them anywhere. They were finally located in the bowels of a rolled-up carpet I was planning to give to Goodwill. I can't even leave any bread out, because he'll abscond with it and squirrel it away. If he's "playing ninja", he'll try to take a chunk out of my butt as I'm walking past him. It's little wonder all his previous owners couldn't deal with him.
That being said, he's cuddly and affectionate and loving, with personality plus. He looks so angelic, doesn't he?

You're so welcome! Send me a DM if I can be of any other help.

And your Sushi? Well, he's just gorgeous! And I assume from the behaviour you describe he must be about 1 year old?

Actually, Sushi is about four and a half years old. He has energy to burn. His last owners kept him locked up in one small room in a highrise apartment building. Here, he has the run of the house, and spends his days tearing up and down the stairs and leaping from one piece of furniture to the other. That explains all the broken stuff. I can't let him go outside because he knows nothing of cars, and he's far too friendly for his own good.
I do let him go outside on a harness with a long leash in the yard, where the squirrels and birds torment him. They figured out that the leash extends just so far and not an inch more. He desperately wants to hunt, and when he comes back in he seems to think "Well, if I can't hunt them, I'll hunt you" and that's when he goes into full ninja mode, leaping onto my back and biting me. He's not playing around anymore, and I can tell by the crazed look in his eyes.
Despite all his faults, I adore this cat.

Thank you. I don't know what a DM is. Yet. I'm still feeling my way around this board, but I'll figure things out eventually.

DM is Direct Message. That's the next section down, along the left hand side when you've clicked on My Settings. A quick way to send someone a DM is to click on their name and choose that option from the drop down menu. I just sent you an example

Reminds me of the black cat we had years and years ago. He was our Eeeee-vil Overlord. The amusement of having a housecat that seems to want to kill you, it's the same as every cartoon or movie with a highly incompetant and physically diminutive would-be supervillian. Like "Brain" in Pinky and the Brain, the mouse who wants to take over the world...it's that dynamic. You've got this little armful of cute fuzzy animal who has the soul of a tiger...or possibly a tornado. And he sees no reason in the world why he can't take out a full sized human being.

He's all "COME AT ME, BRO! BRING IT!!"

Lol! That's exactly it! I suppose much of it is my fault, because I laugh when he does it, but he's deadly serious. He is actually trying to take me out!

Sometimes I look at Sushi in awe. He's just so beautiful. He'll be sitting at the window with the sun shining a halo around his form and I'm left breathless. He's the perfect Tonk, and would easily be a show cat if he wasn't fixed. The coat is gleaming. The proportions are exquisite, from the shape of the jaw to the cut of the oversized ears. The obsidian muzzle, the elongated head, the clear azure eyes are a testament to his royal bearing. It's easy to see why they were revered as gods in ancient Egypt.


Too bad he's such a doofus, running around with a garbage bag stuck on his head, and drinking out of the toilet.....
