Runt. Came out last. 3 days later she knew how to get out of the basket. Eyes open in 5 days and has learned to walk in 7, pictured.

Terror of 4 siblings. Bulldozes all away from teats then takes her choice. Had to isolate her for siblings to get a full meal. Both mom and surrogate mom had raw and sometimes bleeding teats. Gnarly bites.
At 1 month all other cats have chewed bloody ears.
7 months on, just Gnarly and moms in house. Have given up cleaning downstairs. All loose paperwork and cardboard is shredded. Have to keep trash in a room with closed door. No trash bag or can is Gnarly proof. Sofa appears to have lost the Crimean war. All curtains are tied as high up as they will go. Shower curtain 3 is shreds and ribbons. All surviving glass and ceramics in house locked up in room with trash. All cords now left as she unplugged them. Most are unsafe to use and perforated. Have to cage her under a laundry basket so the other cats can get a square meal. She gets between meal snacks from the litter box. (See my signature). Her poops are laced with paper and plastic bags.
Most recently she has been leaping up and hanging from door knobs in attempts to open doors. (True) She lives in perpetual terror of me because I scold her when she does something wrong and she does something wrong about once every 45 seconds.

Feel free to come get her. She will probably be chained to a concrete block perilously close to the river.

Running leap from coffee table to sofa cushions stacked on cabinet to protect them from me. Make the leap onto the top of the TV. Back to the corner of the TV and get a running start for the really long leap to the curtain. GOT IT! Hang and swing. Not sure what to do next. Hope they rip. Oh crap, he was watching! Oh crap crap, I'm stuck. Under the laundry basket again?

You shouldn't have fed it after midnight.
That would explain a lot of things. Choosing to keep her after she showed so much character has gone down in my book among the top 10 dumb ideas of my life. Along side or even above accidentally picking up what I thought was a dead king cobra. If I knew then what I know now I would have drowned her, but that would have come under the 'don't get them wet' restriction.

Our naming of the cats has also caused problems. Taking them back to the vet and trying to get the dimwitted receptionist to pull their medical records cards created lots of nice confusion.
First out comes our white cat. The receptionists asks it's name. See cow. Well yes, she can see it's 'all white'. What is it's name? See cow! Yes! She knows! But the name, please! See=all, everything, cow=white.
We give up on her for the moment and try Gnarly. What's it's name. Gnarly. Huh? I recall the Thai word. Momem. She looks at the cat them me and frowns. Yes, it is a pretty homely ugly cat, but what is it's name? This is going nowhere.
Try the third cat. Name? My. We haven't seen it before? No, she's been here before. Name please. My. We didn't make a card for her? My! Okay, we will make a new card. No! No no! Her name is MY! No! You have a card. Just look up No!
A man comes over that speaks fluent English and asks, 'You have named your cats, No, Ugly, and All White?'

I felt like I was in an Abbot and Costello comedy: Who's on first?

I have 2 black brothers that I thought were bad but yours beats them hands down. I bet you'll miss her if you do let her go.

Shes adorable! Insane cats are the only cats worth having. My gfs cat had a kitten about four months ago..he's suicidal! At a week and a half old he decided to stop nursing, his mother was in the tote with him constantly doing her best. I checked her nipples and she was still producing milk so I started syringe feeding him kitten milk replacement formula and after 2 days of that he started suckling from her again
About 2 weeks ago I slipped on my favorite kicks,they fit loose so I don't need to tie them just slip em on..i was walking around wal-mart and noticed they we're extra loose I looked down and half the lace was missing.I figured my knot came undone and I stepped on it or it snagged on something and it broke..I gave it no thought until the next night it was about 1am and he started howling in the litter box and threw up tiny chunks of shoe lace. I freaked out and went online to see what I could do,while I was doing this he went back to the box and tried pooping. Nothing came out and he was screaming! I told my gf to find a 24hr vet. There wasn't one any where near us! The best info online said to squirt olive oil down his throat, I of course didn't have any so I melted a few table spoons of butter and waited till it cooled a little and syringe force fed it to him.within 15 minutes he pooped out almost a foot of my mangled shoe lace. He started drinking later that night and ate by the morning so I skipped the vet visit, he's been doing great since
Yesterday I was leaving our room and he was sitting on a shelf by the door I went to close the door behind me and it stuck..so I pulled harder..nothing, still stuck, I turned to see what was holding me up and it was his head!!! He was dangling about four feet in the air with his neck in between the door and the frame!!! I panicked !! I was afraid to open the door because I thought as the gap opens up if he twists while hes pulling free he's gunna snap his neck .so after about ten seconds of pure panic stricken horror I realized I could stay still and slowly choke him to death or push the door open fast and hope for the best....I swung it open and he fell to the floor, I picked him up and he was gasping but otherwise OK... I begged him for forgiveness,sacrificed a virgin in his name and fed him a can of his favorite food...she has 4 cats including him 1 of his parents is her baby the other 2 are sisters that we rescued from a friends friend that was gonna toss them outside because she was moving and couldn't take them and there's popcorn the one the story is about. We have been trying to rehouse the sisters and him but we decided today that he has to stay...he's been through so much with us the bond is too strong and we feel that no one else is gonna want a cat that has to be on suicide watch!
