Yes indeed! Those are them! As I recall, there was a couch this Siam would sit on, up on the back, perch, and if you sat on the couch instead of elsewhere around the room, she would scoot along the back of the couch and claw your head.

I remember this, because I remember sitting on the opposite side of the room, with my mother and friend, looking over at the couch. And thinking (I'm like nine or something), "That couch is useless. That cat has control of the couch! A small animal! This is extremely illogical. Why would adults buy a couch, and let a cat tell them when to sit on it? A whole couch? Look at the space it's taking up! Something, something.....is reversed here. Yes. We're being told where to sit, by the cat. The cat is an Adult adult. This is a peculiar scale."

I didn't mind going to places with my mother, because half the time they turned out bizarre. I mean as interesting as any place I could get to.

I can still see her up there, c. 40 years later. She was really cross-eyed. Had a little collar. "Dooon't touch her collar."

"That's going to be hard not to do, when I strangle her."

"You need my help, Lady."

"Let me help you with this here."
