Like for example, does everyone get the same sorts of reactions from

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.

My little Violetta sounds just like Sammy. Last night my mum and
stepfather were over and I'd just been through my usual explanation
about how Violetta would probably be dancing around them all night
wanting scritches, but that in all her eight years she's never consented
to sit on someone's lap. You can all guess what she did next, right?
Yep, she tippy toed right off the chair arm onto my stepfather's lap. To
rub it in, she then stepped across into mum's lap for a bit. She then
turned and looked at me. I've never seen a cat say "up yours mate" quite
so clearly.

Yep, I'm convinced they understand LOTS of what we say about them, and
are just waiting for the chance to make liars out of us. And, of
course there's the way they wait until we sure that something is the
their favorite thing (toy, food, napping place whatever), and then
suddenly just stop using it.
