I agree, sometimes (actually pretty often) yuccas create more than one growing point after blooming. I know of some here with 2 main branches, and others with as many as 8 main branches! Some Y. recurvifolias dont make any new heads after blooming, I think that the more robust looking recurvifolias are some type of hybrid because some of them grow faster, have thicker leaves, and branch less often than others of the same species. -Alex

Good to actually hear Mountain Bluebirds nesting! I wish I lived out west and could help the other 2 species out. The Eastern has come back very well. I agree with Kendra. get something behind the window or ON it to either break the reflection or make the window more obvious. ~Tim~

It could be just about anything. I was woken up by voices in the middle of the night, once. It took me forever to figure out where they were coming from, but it turned out to be my computer speakers picking up someone's HAM radio conversation. I had to unplug them to make it stop. I plugged them back in the next morning, and it has never happened again. Oh, just thought of another one! I have a Curious George doll for the Grandbabies. He giggles when you squeeze his feet/hands. He sits in a basket under an end table, nice and quiet until the kids are visiting. I switched the wooden table out to one that is glass, and George started giggling on his own at random times, but I couldn't figure out what was causing it. Turns out the igniters on my gas cooktop were doing it. Apparently he was shielded under the wooden table, but not the glass.

It sounds like the behaviour of a cat or kitten who was removed from its parent too soon. The kneading is how they got the milk from their mother. I adopted a kitten who was removed from its mother way too soon otherwise they were going to put it down. For a long time it attempted to chew on me and knead me Etc. What finally worked in my kitten's case because it was still doing it at the age of one was a rolled-up cheesecloth dipped in chicken broth or yogurt that it could suck a lot. Not sure if that would work for every cat but it did for him. Every time he did this behavior I would allow him to chew on that while I held him gently. It took about six months before he was completely satisfied and his brain I guess started to mature. After that no more kneading and attempted chewing. I think your cat's aggressive behavior is often a cat who didn't get enough milk from its mother and had to be very aggressive with the other kittens. Often kittens growl while they're eating as well. When he does this behavior take him and firmly but not punishingly or painfully pinch his skin between his shoulder blades then with your other hand underneath him for support gently but firmly move him off of you. It is how a mother cat carries her kittens and most cats respond by going limp. He cannot be allowed to do this to you even for a minute. You have to be persistent and you have to be firm. Sometimes a sharp no will suffice as well. It depends on the cat. Good luck!
