We got her while I was living in a small apartment in Philadelphia, she is a beautiful little grey striped cat, about 2 years old now. About 4 months after she joined my family we moved to Lebanon Pa, to live with the family I was nannying for at the time. The family we moved in with also had 2 cats, so cat count is up to 4 and guess who was at the bottom of the kitty totem pole? Baby Cat. So she stayed in my room a lot and at long last, warmed up to me! It was great, she was my little shadow, no one else could touch her. I loved her! Well I still love her. BUT. Now that my son has joined us and we have moved AGAIN, she is a completely different cat.
She is now a loudmouth. She hates closed doors, will meow at them, scratch at them... generally hate them... even if every other door in the house is open! She meows at everything, and at nothing. She like to pick fights with me. She knows where I like to lay the baby on my bed, she will wait until I pick up the baby then she quickly lays down in his place and becomes "liquid cat" so I can't push her out of the way. Liquid cat with claws. 
At night she comes FLYING into our room, dives onto the bed landing on both of us as many times as possible before rocketing back into the hall.... It's a good thing she is cute. I know it's mostly that she is jealous, I don't love on her like I used to and her new behavior is so annoying I would just like to sell her to the gypsies, but D likes her, so that option is out... As I am typing this she is sitting sleepily at the end of my bed, waiting for my feet to make the slightest move so she can pounce on them, making me glad it's still winter and I have heavy blankets on the bed still!

I DO still love her though, and one of these days things will calm down, we will all get into a new routine and settled into the new house/life. Hopefully I will have skin on my feet when that magical time arrives. =)
