my roommate got an american short hair in november, all white with a green eye and a blue eye. she's like 8 or 9 months old and really cute. at first she was really independent and didn't really like being touched unless she was already relaxing but lately she's gotten really touchy-feely with me, and i haven't been playing with her as much as i was (i'd play with her so much i'd actually get her panting, i didn't even know cats panted until i played with her).
one thing that i find pretty funny is that she's more disciplined with me than my roommate. she likes to chew bags but i'd discipline her any time i saw her do it by scruffing her, i'd just grab the scruff of her neck firmly but not hard enough to hurt her, and hold her down for a little bit while staring into her eyes. my roommate would just push her away and say "bad kitty" which really doesn't teach her much. the cat, Nala, begs for food when my roommate's in the kitchen because she gives her little pieces of fish sometimes, and she tries to eat off her plate even while she's eating. she doesn't go anywhere near my food when i'm eating it, and will only go check it out and maybe lick it a bit if it's something tasty like sour cream and i'm lying back on the couch because i'm done eating.
i've got to say, i wasn't really a cat person before, but i really like this one.
