Phoebe is the mastermind of the clowder, the ruler of the roost. She is the boss. If she is unhappy, we are all unhappy. If she is hungry, she will let you know by doing something to annoy you. For example. She will go behind the sofa and pick at the fabric. Not enough to rip it, but just enough to make a tapping or pulling sound that is akin to water drip torture. She will make a little chirp as a warning signal that jerk antics are coming. She also refuses to eat on the floor so she has her own dining space on the counter. She loves the laser pointer.
