Sounds like a Siamese! At one time I had four lilac points, all of them extremely opinionated and loud. We called them a 'hassle' of siamese. They were Epicenter, Iridium*, Hurricane, and Ricochet: mother, son, daughter, granddaughter. When Iridium and Hurricane were kittens one afternoon Epicenter became quite agitated, would not nurse the kittens, and prowled around the house yowling.

 

Then we had the earthquake. She settled down, paid attention to her kittens, and everything was fine. I called the local TV station proclaiming that my cat, EPICENTER, just predicted an earthquake! But they were too busy interviewing the guy coming out of the 7/11 with a six pack on what he thought about it.

 

My dog named Ricochet. We were sitting around discussing what to name the new kitten and Moses, very uncharacteristically, began bouncing his purple ball off the bottom of the couch, causing it to 'ricochet' repeatedly. The cat turned out very skittish. You couldn't pick her up. If you tried to catch her she would literally bounce off the walls.

 

Hurricane is the only one left now. She's 14.

 

* Iridium was named after the Iridium layer at the K/T boundary which the Alvarez's found to be evenly distributed throught the globe, thus indicating a meteor or asteroid strike that caused the extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous Period about 65 million years ago. This is the prevailing theory on what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.
