When she is fussy or wiggly I run my arm between her legs (my hand comes out below her chin) and she instantly relaxes and lets me carry her anywhere. Mind you - she's totally immobilised he he he.<BR/><BR/>Magda on the other hand is terrified of being held upside down and will only be held slung over my shoulder where she purrs and purrs.kthulu's browniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600463532394373203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22156022.post-78153905503702032962008-03-07T21:35:00.000-08:002008-03-07T21:35:00.000-08:00From the floor to the counter.

When she was a kitten, Lakhshmi was a master at getting on top of the livingroom door - yes, she sat "on" the top of the door - and was very pleased with herself too. The only problem was getting down - that's when we were "summoned" to the scene. Now she's too big to find her way onto doors - but occasionally, if being held near one, she glances nostalgically at the top.kthulu's browniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600463532394373203noreply@blogger.com
