I maintain that this cat has something wrong with him. My mom came over
tonight for dinner and she's starting to become afraid of him. She's noticed the last several times that she's been here that he over-stimulates easily and she can't see it coming as easily as I do because I live with him. So I told her not to pet and pet him like he wants because that's what gets him going. But of course, he's an in-your-face cat and it's hard to not pet him. So she let him rub against her feet but didn't pet him. Then the little stinker pulled a bandaid off of her toe and ran with it. -- Cheryl |

Overstimulated easily? He sounds just like Bosley. I'd honestly have to put him up if I had kids over. He acts like he *wants* to be petted, but unexpectedly, he lashes out growling, hissing and biting. He drew blood on DS the other day. He'll also do this to me, but i can "read" him better than anyone, and I know when to walk away from him. Sherry |

TVV gets this way but it is pretty easy for warning signs because his tail
goes crazy first, not sure why he is this way, but he is, Lee "Sherry" wrote in message ... On Aug 2, 9:26 pm, "Cheryl" wrote: I maintain that this cat has something wrong with him.

I'm very glad to hear something about Shamrock, I'm very fond of him. Dante gets a little carried away with petting too-- he's very playful, and he starts playing easily, but his idea of playing is play-fighting and whapping. He acts just as if a petting session was one of those "groom groom groom, FIGHT! groom groom groom" sessions with another cat. -- Theresa and Dante Stinky Forever: http://pets.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh |

I've been curious about the phenomenon of over-stimulation, and I thought that with Buster, I've finally got to experience it first hand. But this still sounds different from what I've seen, so I wonder if it's the same thing. Buster, you see, slooowly becomes insane as you spank him. If you offer him your hand, he'll sniff it. If you spank him twice and offer your hand, he'll nosekiss it. If you spank him five times, he'll lick it. If you spank him ten times, he'll mouth it. If you spank him twenty times, he'll snap at your hand. If you spank him thirty times, he'll bite your hand, then either run off, or bunny-kick it. But he never draws blood - so I wonder if that qualifies as overstimulation? |

Then comes back looking for more tummy rubs. Jo |

this is one of those deals that has degrees of seriousness, and intensity,

Back when I first got him and was getting used to him, I had to carry a laser pointer to divert him away from me because sometimes he'd attack my legs if I walked by him. It was scary. Shamrock does the same "wants to be petted" act but he's turning more into a biter these days. One pet and he bites. |
