Hm, yes...my Gribeau's a sweetie but cats WILL be cats. I wouldn't want to stress a poor little tortoise out - maybe when she's older and less inclined to pounce...

It's also important to ensure the security of your tortoise as they are valuable. I know someone who had 8 stolen one night. she was devastated as they'd been with her since childhood.
Oh that's terrible! There are no *permissible* words for the type of person who does that.
