Yeah, Rakka is an Egyptian Mao.... I think. Right Morris?
I don't know what Omae-chan was. One of those flat-faced breeds apparently. They're supposed to be pretty mellow. ^___^
I know all about the "gratitude attack." My cat Cindy used to scratch and cry at my bedroom door for hours until I finally gave up sleep and let her in. Then, after I finally got back to sleep she'd want to be let out again. I was lucky if I only got a wet nose in my eye. I usually got a paw full of claws applied directly to my scalp. Or, if I managed to roll over and ignore her, she would proceed to lumber around in the dark and knock over everything she came in contact with.
I
do miss her though. She was with me for almost 20 years.
