Cute! The Sweet Face of a Killer

Last week I did some cat sitting for my friend and her furry friend Toby. Toby is a beautiful kitty. I love the patch of black just under her eyes.  It makes me think of ninjas and painters and sportsball players, all at once.  She is also kind of deadly.  She will sometimes be very affectionate with you, but if you touch her, chances are very good that she will kill you.  You just gotta let her do her thing and not interfere.  Like when she was nuzzling my foot (second picture) - as much as I wanted to return her affection, I knew that it was too dangerous.  But let me be clear: this "fractious" nature is not a reason to withhold love.  Toby, like all creatures, needs lots of it!
