When we got her she was cute and small, in fact at one point I thought we must have gotten the runt. Non-the less we were happy to have a pet.(We as in the kids and I) But lately I've been a bit concerned about her metal state. By the way HER name is "Tosh".....don't ask, a 3 year old named her and was adamant about it, so it had to stay. I really would have preferred something more like fur ball or fluffy or something along those lines. Anyhow about her mental stability, she seems to have a couple of interesting tendencies or more like, Dog like tendencies, of which I am not sure why??? The kids only threw her a couple times(as a kitten, not now they don't dare, they're all about the same weight now that is Karina, Troy and Tosh) and Grant only closed the garage door on her head once. And really aside from that, I can't think of any other traumatising experience she could have had??? Well so she really thinks she might be a dog. When outside the house she howls or meows so loud she usually wakes me up and sometimes Troy too. In fact when we first got her she woke Troy up all the time. So when I would go and get Troy he would be meowing as best as he could, it was real cute! So of course we open the door and she comes in but its almost like we've just unleashed the annoying dog, she follows us around the house up and down as many times as we do, all so close to us that we are running into her all all the time! Then if she catches anyone sleeping she decides to lick us till we wake, but it's not the licking that's abnormal, it's the amount of drooling that comes with it? Cats don't drool.( hence the saying "Cats rule Dogs drool") And last she eats anything that falls on the floor, Anything you name it. And it doesn't only happen when I forget to feed her, it happens all the time! Whether her plate is full or not. I just hope it all changes when she get to go outside. Maybe you're all thinking "she must not be busy if she's paying that much attention to the cat", but in reality it's hard to keep your self sane when you have sick kids and so all of a sudden you pay attention to anything just to have different things to worry about and it makes you feel like you have a life again. Really, there are only so many books to keep you entertained and well, thank goodness for the Australian Open, because there is nothing like watching people exercise while you sit on the couch eating skittles to make you feel good!
Isn't she cute! We really do love her ! (here she took hold of the camera string while I was holding it.)

We had a cat just like that when I was in high school. His name was Guapo, and he would beg at the table for food, give us "kisses" licks, and was house trained, as in he would scratch at the door when he needed to do his business outside. We also had a dog at the time, which explains it. In your case I think it was the garage door to the head. I hope your kiddos get better soon!
