Well, most of them. They really do. Despite the fact I feed them, adore them on demand and keep them in the ham to which they have become accustomed to.
Why?
Because I keep electrocuting them. I've always been a static person, but the last week has been something else. The sparks fly from my hand to their fur and the crack signals the retreat of a very pissed off cat.
Willow will not allow me to touch her at all. Charlie looks warily at my hand before I touch him and Holly is camping out in the spare bedroom until the danger passes. Frank and Oz are a little more relaxed but to be honest, they live in their own bizarre little world and probably don't notice that much.
Ellie, on the other paw, has worked out that if she rubs up against the computer monitor she can get enough static in her own fur to get her own back. Which she does repeatedly, and usually throws in a couple of sharp nips for good measure.
Just charming.

How shocking that they will not let you touch them! ;)
Those poor cats! Do you have new slippers or socks that are helping making you so shocking?

It has been really cold and dry here, weather wise. That is probably what has triggered it off.

I'm chucking at that smartie pie, Ellie. Can you turn on a humidifier so that it isn't so dry in your house?

That's too funny.
