The 'Evil' in Evil Ernest is quite will deserved.  Ernest always has been and continues to be a troublemaker like no other.  He just happens to pull it off with such style that it makes me laugh.  Ernest is bold, confident, assertive and takes what he wants in life.  If what he happens to want is your steak or slice of pizza, watch out, he will get it.  He might have slowed down some in his old age, but he has gotten no less naughty.  He's so hardcore he just starts chewing the heck out of whatever happens to be around when the mood takes him. I love cats, all cats.  I have no expectations of cats.  I expect them to do cat things, like get on counters, steal food, scatch furniture and cause havoc.  And I am not disappointed.  I'm also not angry with them (uh, much).  You can't fault a cat for doing cat things.  So Ernest just makes me laugh, and he makes me happy.  I love how Ernest has to come and lay right on my chest when I read before bedtime and how if you say, "Hi Ernest" he always says hi back.  I understand cats, and I get Ernest most of all - no training needed.
