My favorite cat of all time was the mother of Stripe (who is about 9 years old
now).  Her name was "Momma Kitty" and she was a ferile cat that moved into our
garage to have a litter of kittens.  Basically she was a little wild and
ferocious beast.  I brought her little bits of food but she would not let me pet
her for several weeks.  Finally, she let me pet her (and I could tell she liked
it) but when I stopped she clawed at my boot like some alien sewing machine gone
berserk.  One day, a german shepherd dog came into our yard while she was lying
in the garage with her kittens.  She jumped to her feet and shot like an arrow
straight towards the dog (and her velocity was just unbelievable).  She jumped
into the air and landed on the dog's face.  She bit her teeth into the hair on
the top of his head towards the back of his skull, with her claws dug into the
lower parts of each ear.  She then took her free hind legs and raked them down
the dog's face at a blinding rate (at least ten strokes per second).  The dog
was wailing and yiping and shaking his head from side to side.  When he finally
shook her free, she chased him down the road until both of them were out of
sight.  I fell in love with momma kitty at that moment.

She had lots of other interesting quirks.  She had bad eyesight and thought
every man that came into the house was me.  So she would trot right up and jump
on their laps.  But then she was close enough to see that it WASN'T me and blast
straight up into the air like a grenade had exploded.  I was the only one in the
house that could pet her.
