Now if *I* had done that to her she would have definitely swiped me
with all claws out and maybe added a bite to make her point but she
did nothing of the kind. With the baby's hand still clutching her
skin she headbutted him, rubbed herself all around him and purred
like crazy which made him laugh and he let go. She then decided
discretion was the better part of valour and excused herself.
I still have no idea why she didn't bite or scratch him, I really
thought she might as this sort of liberty is not allowed as a rule.
She'd have my hand off if I went up to her and grabbed a handful of
skin like baby Alexander did.


You aren't a bare kitten. ;-) Cats seem to know when bare kittens
don't know any better. We've had several that would hiss, then maybe
slap
with their claws sheaved. Most of the time they let the littler ones
do what they are doing, then head for the hills as soon as they can
do so safely.

A girl I know, the first time I saw her she was 4 years old and holding her
cat by the neck, the cat, Tabetha didn't seem to object at all. The girl is
now 27 and holds her cats properly.
