Eccentricities/
Cute Habits and
interesting 'tails'

Frantically kneading whenever he is picked up or cuddled.
Crawling into shopping bags and purring while being carried around in the bag.
Each morning, hopping into bed next to me for a cuddle, drool and knead
Supervising all activities - particularly cooking, where no form of discipline is effective in keeping him off the bench.  Every few minutes or so he leans over for a headbutt whilst I am chopping.
Straightening his back legs whenver his back is rubbed - affectionately termed 'bum jacking'.
Drooling whilst being cuddled.
Sticking his tongue out and gagging when our Antique clock is wound.
Chattering and singing to the birds outside.
Standing in front of the computer monitor or lying on the keyboard.
One night my husband and I had been out.  We arrived home to discover that Edward had escaped outside (through an open window) and found him under the dining table chomping into a possum tail...UURGHH!

Interesting Facts

Edward's feline Mum was from New Zealand.
Edward had feline acne as a teenager (around 12 months old).
Edward weighs 6kg and has been cautioned by the vet to go easy on the grub.

Temperament

Highly strung and Intense - a really passionate cat in general. Very demanding of attention and jealous of Matilda and Albert.
Extremely Affectionate - always seeks human companionship, loves cuddles and rubs and especially loves to be carried around.  He kneads, purrs and drools without exception under these circumstances.  He also shows much affection towards us by rubbing his head and cheeks on our faces.
Extremely naughty - I am constantly saying 'no' to Edward and have given up on squirting with water (he just sits there with his eyes shut - wringing wet without budging).
Communicative - he chats with me constantly and is very good at reading facial expressions.
Sensitive - very perceptive in regards to people and their emotions.
Loyal - I would trust Edward with my life.  He and I share a very rare and special connection.  We are soul mates.
