What the heck.....life is a roller coaster, enjoy the ride. We all have those moments (days, weeks, months) when our emotions get whacked out! Just keep a sense of humor and explode when necessary!
I have 3 tortoise shell calicos (dark brown back ground) and one sounds very similar to your youngest, she's my youngest too! I have another cat that is siamese/himalayan.....she of course is a Princess in the cat heirarchy! Very insistent on her rights as miss wonderful.....food must be out when she is hungry and water dish must be clean and full! Good thing I don't have such an ego!
Bear is still resisting not diong his stuff in the house......I constantly run around putting eucalyptus oil where he has gone. I think he's starting to get the idea....the oil makes him sneeze and he gets the funniest look on his face!
Keep laughing!
