Rose is such a character. She really is a grumpy kitty and she's the boss. The other two kitties (litter mates, age 5) grew up with an adult Rose (who is 14 I think), so they just think she owns the place, and go along with her grumpy ways.

She has quite a few vocalizations with which she expresses herself. Rose has never been known to suffer indignities in silence.

But she is all snuggles with Gerry and me. In fact, if she is in cuddle mode, she won't take no for and answer, and will complain loudly if she wasn't finished cuddling when you decided to move on.
