This was Techno (also known as The Bear) she ruled the house with an iron paw that neither cat nor dog nor human was safe from! She played a big part in training a significant number of very big dogs to be very respectful towards the soft fluffy balls with flick knives! Sadly had to be pts at the wise old age of 21 last year.
e2a Poppy definitely has that fierce stare, they're very special, if occasionally challenging, cats!
Oh goodness, Techno sounds just like my kind of cat.

Bet you miss her something bad.
Poppy will biff me if she thinks I've stepped out of line.

She's also biffed a few cat show judges that she doesn't like, but then with the ones that she does take a shine to, she's all sweetness and light.
A friend has a tortie & white who will bite me as soon as I walk in through the door because I'm intruding on her patch, raid all the treats from my pocket, and then biff me on the way out because I'm leaving. Go figure. She's a tiny little thing, all of two and a half kilos, but she rules her household with an iron paw too.
