Josi, part Siamese, part Stegosaurus?
My almost-grown part-Simmy, Josiah, is one of the most playful
cats I've ever known. He's a white furry ball of energy, leaping into the air, dashing in a blur across the carpet, chasing my feet under the covers whenever I move in bed... My sister lovingly calls him "our demon spawn." She brought to my attention a strange characteristic about Josi: when he's playful (which is almost all the time he's awake and/or not eating), a thin ridge of fur down his spine stands at attention. He's not frightened or anything, he's just being a "demon spawn", crazy with energy and play, but I'm curious to know if anyone's ever seen this Stegosaurus trait in other cats.

Hazard, my foundling feline from the university, shows the same type of ridge when he's fired up for playtime. He doesn't get as much attention as he should (bad cat dad, *bad*), so he's almost always fired up for playtime.. He also carpet surfs, laying down on his belly or side and pulling himself around on the carpet, and even does that up and down the stairs. That's just one of the ways he earned his name. Of course, when he does that, the static electricity makes his fur go in *all* sorts of different directions. Purrs- Chris and the Fairfax felines |

I recently noticed something like this in one of mine: the humidifier had failed. Replacing the humidifier brought the hair back down. T.E.D. - e-mail must contain "T.E.D." or my .sig in the body) |
