It's hard to explain. He is overly rough when playing with them, when he has a meltdown, he will kick out at them, purposly try to step on their tails, and set heavyish toys down on them. He chases them and then tries to jump over them, with he truly doesn't have the gross motor skills to do. He does things hat he knows scre them, especially Othello, who hisses every time my son enters the room. When we first got Ellison, we had hi separated in th bathroom. My son went in to use the bathroom and atfer using the toilet, dipped Ellison in it. It's a constant need for vigilence around here, because WE WILL NOT tolarate this. Luckily the cats do have one room that they can get away from him in, where he's not allowed.-- Jennifer

In most cases Ellison goes around the pit, jumps over it...or jumps right into it, on purpose, avoiding major injury either by his own talent, the grace of god, or a combination of the two.
