We have an almost pure-black void that screams bloody murder at everything--pick her up, screaming; walk in the room, screaming; give her food, screaming--but cuddles more aggressively than any cat I've ever heard of and purrs nonstop (when she isn't screaming). She hisses as a primary communications mechanism. I hear that cat hiss more in a day than every hiss from every other cat I've ever had combined. She also panic poops when the other cat gets within 5 feet.

She is pure, hate-filled joy.

Cats are full of love and murder; all in different amounts. Sounds like yours has lots of both <3

Yep, and she's simultaneously magical and awful. Just a perfect cat.

She came out of a storm drain as a very, very young kitten, so her wiring is probably all sorts of messed up.
