An idea for a mass purr day

chin *edges* skritches. Definitely the favorite of all. They LOVE being
skritched along that jawbone line.

And the fur there is sooo soft. It's one of my favorite places to
kiss Betty.

My cats all do the turtle thing when I scritch them under the chin. In
fact, every cat I've ever scritched under the chin does that. It's one of
the only things I've noticed that doesn't seem to vary from cat to cat.

It'll always be a mystery to me why cats react in these ways to
scritches. They're just made for lovin'.

Like for example, does everyone get the same sorts of reactions from
their cats when you stroke or scritch them? Betty gets elevator butt
and elevator shoulders, and stroking her cheeks makes her squint and
"smile". Also, scritching her chin makes her streeetch her neck out
like a turtle.

Don't know about many cats, since I've just had the one as a kid many
years ago and now these three, but they seem have very different
reactions. Rocky, who was untouchable for a couple years after we
first met, is the most appreciative. His eyes squint shut and he has a
look of total bliss on his face with his little tongue sticking out.
(I only have a couple pix of him, which can be found at the link in my
sig, and when I first posted the link someone wrote and asked if he
was blind. Nope, not blind, just very happy in one pic and not liking
the flash in the other.) Little Bit is a cuddle kitty who occasionally
get elevator butt, but is usually just totally relaxed and expects you
to know where to scritch. Sammy can't seem to park herself for
scritches. She walks back and forth to so of direct your hand to where
she wants it. She's getting better now though, and sometimes lays on
my chest when I'm kicked back in the recliner. Don't know if it's
because she's getting older or just the fact the fact that there's no
cigarette smoke now.

(LOL) had some very interesting things to
say about My weird kids [was An idea for a mass purr day]:

Felix and Ava have daily purr/coo sessions.
Yes, the bird has been renamed. "He" surprised us this morning, after
20 months of acquaintance, with an egg [she's an only bird].
Heh. Please tell the proud mom congratulations for me. :-D

No baby birdies, so sorry. :-)
