Persia showing Love or...
....trying to steal my lunch?
I was half-lying on the couch watching an old Perry Mason episode. I was eating what can only be described as Southern US "soul" food - boiled turnip greens, white beans and a piece of cornbread. Persia was on the arm of the couch. She started rubbing her face on my head. I chuckled, I love you too, Persia! Gave her a gentle head-rub back; continued to watch the program and eat. She resumed the rubbing and gentle head-butting, purring the entire time. I gave her a gentle head-butt back. When she continued to do this, I looked up and noticed she was leaning suspiciously closer to my plate. I had to laugh... I know for a fact she won't eat any of those things. Hell, I wouldn't eat most of them (except for the cornbread) until a few years ago myself! It made me smile. I'd like to think she really *was* just welcoming me home, but I know what she was thinking... well, if mom can grow to like that stuff, maybe I should try it again too Jill |

Doesn't matter what it is or how many times she's tried it. The eternal optimist, just because it wasn't any good last time she tried, she still tries to hook some off the plate and steal a taste. I can cook up a pot of beans and eat beans three nights running, and she has to check every night just in case something's changed the flavour. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

scoping out what's for dinner
Chinook used to snuggle into my arms, rub cheeks with me, gaze deep into my eyes (food? Oh no, mum, I just LOVE you so much - I LOVE you Love love love) and then, very fast, whip his head around 180 degrees and scope the dinner table - nose twitching, whiskers out. Then whip his head back around and pretend that he hadn't looked.

I was, er, sitting on the toilet and she was up by the sink, admiring her pretty face in the mirror, when she started the head rubbing behavior all over again. I know for a fact there was no food in the bathroom! ROFL Jill |

Constant rubbing, headbutting, purring and just general love-sluttyness :-) -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!
