Aoife is...how can I put this politely...very
ill-mannered.

She is ill-tempered towards the other cats most of the time, has a love/hate relationship with Hamish and hates Bruce & Isobel most of the time too. But she never does serious harm and nobody takes her seriously, so it's pretty peaceful for the most part. And the last time my parents visited, she never stopped screaming at my Dad and smacking his hands (she smelled their cats on him

). When she's unhappy or dissatisfied she will let you know in no uncertain terms with an endless stream of verbal abuse. Seriously.
Verbal abuse. I shudder to think what it would all mean if translated to English

But she loves me for some strange reason. Maybe cos I give her food and let her head-butt me when I'm trying to sleep

As rotten and mean as she is, I can't imagine life without my Miss Aoife
