dalthauser | Cyber is My Cat

I got Cyber for Sierra in 1997 when I lived in Japan. A friend had a litter of kittens that needed homes - at the time Sierra was in Hawaii for Christmas vacation - so I sent an email with her picture on it saying Santa brought it :-)

Cyber doesn't like people - she doesn't really even like me that much. She is openly hostile to strangers, but once she gets to know you - it mellows into reluctant tolerance.

She is declawed (a Japan thing), but she gets around just fine jumping up on the highest shelving. I try and keep her protected from other animals when I can, but twice the dogs managed to get to her and almost tore her to pieces (very traumatic for everyone concerned - especially Cyber).

Something else about Cyber; she is a glutton. Not exaggerating. I have to ration her food. Whatever I put in her bowl (even if it's half a bag) she will wolf down - then vomit up. I give her a handful of food three times a day. She can keep that down.

Here's are pictures of Cyber She likes sleeping on the arm of the couch - it always looks like she's hugging it.
