yes, lady AKA chakka, is extremely soft... miss kitty is even softer though. Chakka has a short, single coat and miss kitty has a long, double coat... and shes fat, so she is extra cuddly

lol, ever since we have had her, shes been extremely over weight like 15 lbs, she has been on a diet the whole 6 years we have had her... still nothing...but yes, they seem to be softer than most other cats, i have noticed that... chakka is my boyfriends cat, he always rubs her with his face and tells her how soft she is haha... and she sits there like what are you doing to me??? its so hillarious
oh! are your cats scared of the siphon tube? we have a long siphon that goes from the tank directly outside. my cats are TERRIFIED of it... you can dip their paws in the tank, they dont care. you can take them to the other end of the siphon where the water comes out, theyre fine... but the second you come within 3 or 4 feet of the middle of the siphon (the dry part mind you) while holding them, THEY FLIP! i mean they are literally scared for their lives lol... they kick, do somersaults in your arms, claws fully extended, eyes are huge, tials fluffed up, the whole package lol. they are scared of the least threatening part haha... i was always curious if anyone elses cat was as wierd as ours and why do you think they are scared of only that part?
