Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks.

1. Chester is a girl.



2. Chester is named Chester because she has a white chest, and twotone and swifteagle were getting tired of saying "the tabby kitten... no, the other one, the brownish tabby with the white chest" when referring to the two feral kittens that they were feeding for their neighbor.



3. Chester was almost a mommy of four kittens.
   We don't talk about that anymore.



4. When Chester is very very happy, Chester kneads the ground with one paw while raising the other and curling it underneath like a maneki-neko (Japanese lucky-cat).



5. Chester likes treats very much, but is able to stop eating when she is full.
   ...unlike Pan...



6. Chester gets very excited around bedtime and will scamper around making little chirping squeaking noises that sound like "aie" or "ee" or "rrt". She will run up the stairs, claw the side of one of the steps, and then run into the bedroom. Once in the bedroom, she either hides under the bed or hops on to the bed, sticking her tail straight up in the air and vibrating it.
   
   Nobody knows what she finds so exciting about bedtime.



7. Chester's favorite hang-out spots are:
   - on chairs that are tucked under the table
   - on the back of the couch, crushing the back-cushions
   - under the coffee table in the living room, if she is very very scared.



8. Chester is the only cat in the house who chews on yarn. Obsessively.
   She will chew on yarn and yarn-like objects, such as USB cables.
   And once she found a ribbon and got a significant amount of it inside her before swifteagle stopped her and gently removed it.



9. Chester is afraid of snake-like things. If she sees measuring tape, she will very very cautiously approach it and smack it with her paw.



10. The only time that Chester ever mewed was when she was first brought home from the vet in the cat carrier.
    
    She was silent and scared throughout the entire car trip, but the moment her carrier was brought near the front porch, she suddenly mewed piteously... and her sister Tammy came running to the porch.
    
    This was the first and last time that Chester mewed, or Tammy showed any interest in Chester's well-being.

Awwwwwwwwww

Well, we found out last week that a townhouse opened up that has a garage and allows cats and it would have been ours, but we chose to move out earlier to a place not on our waiting list.

On the plus side, our old apartment building is now under scaffolding and is being remediated for being a leaky condo.

So thank you for more kitty posts! May be a few more years before I have a furball of my own again. :)

Awwww. Well, it's probably best to wait until Adam's old enough to play nice with cats, anyways. ;)

In the meantime, I'll try to divide my kitty pic-spam between whiskas and twotone. :D
