Bugs came to us from a friend who had adopted her from a veterinarian. A kind farmer brought her in when he saw that she was not getting enough to eat. My friend took her home as she was cute and hopped all around the clinic. Then my friend found out that her husband was allergic to cats.

When she came to us she still hopped a lot and we called her Bugs Bunny. Later we just dropped the Bunny (happily as I now have another Bunny!). Bugs is undoubtedly the matriarch of our family! She rules the others with an iron paw. When the group is in the kitchen waiting for dinner, Bugs often starts boxing with the other cats, or worse, grabbing a mouth full of fur and pulling it out.

She is an extremely affectionate cat, if you don't mind love bites, which we have never been able to break her of. She also nit pics... if she wants your attention (and it's not often she doesn't) and you don't immediately pick her up, she will start picking at your clothing with her claws.

She likes to hunt dirty socks and will yowl a hunting cry as she drags the socks down the stairs to lay at my feet. Despite her matriarchal status, she will occasionally be down stairs by herself, after watching us go upstairs and start to cry like she's been abandoned. When we call her name, she then will give a meek meow like she is saying "Oh right, I saw you go up there, it wasn't me yowling!"
