Cute story, Victoria Suzanne.

In my experience, cats are very selective about who they will permit to interact with them.However, once they have "chosen" you, they will always make nice with you.

I have heard that Siameze cats are very picky and will actually lay in wait and ambush people they dislike.

Your drunken friend was an idiot to attempt to pick up Eva. I hope that Eva punished her suitably.

No visitor of ours would EVER be permitted to pick one of our kitties up. Our cats choose who they will permit to pat them. If you are very special, they might decide to come and sit beside you.
