What is a petting stroke
I heard Blink use the term, I've never heard it.
I've searched over 8 billion web pages and still can't find the term. Since then, I'm thinking it's where you over pet the cat creating a stress on the cats heart. I know for example if you're rubbing say your girl-friends (un-hairy) legs and you're squeezing, it is best to move the blood towards the heart. Laugh if you want, but with this definition, I could see that happening. Edgar Allen Poe also mentioned something about hurting his pets through affection. I give my cat backrubs. He will come and find me and sit with his back to me and meow till I give him his rub. Since it is hard to decide what is too much for them, I'm just a post, I let him lean back on my fingers, this way he regulates the pressure. He gets a lot of backrubs. |

Oh my GOD........this place is getting scarier and scarier as time goes on.......people changing their names.......geesh.....soon everyone will be throwing purrs around and talking like cats like that other group.......petting stroke for heavens sake......did you wonder why 8 billion web pages didn't have any info on it.....??.....You better cut out the back rub thing all together what if your freaking finger twitched and you killed the poor animal...... I think you pretty well summed it up when you said you were a post........ Brad LIFE'S JOURNEY IS NOT TO ARRIVE AT THE GRAVE SAFELY IN A WELL-PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS, TOTALLY WORN OUT, SHOUTING... " HOLY @#$%... WHAT A RIDE!" |

It reminds me of the cartoon where the kid is playing with the cat and
carrying the cat around by its neck (cat's ears are down, eyes bulging, legs hanging limp). Since the cat loves the little boy, it is to be endured. "daddypop" wrote in message oups.com...

Since then, I'm thinking it's where you over pet the cat creating a stress on the cats heart. I had this happen once to Dora, a super loveable big white/red tabby. I came home from work, let him in the house, he was even more happy and excited to see me than usual. He was like this every day, every morning he would wake me up just before my alarm by sitting on my chest and meowing in my face, he was SO cute. He was a one in a million cat, I used to say it all the time and not just after he was gone. I was petting him as our daily comming home gretting, again he was very excited, jumping, standing, and rolling. I walked down the hall and he let out a very loud unnatural sounding moew. I went back and saw him laying on the floor struggling for life and a minute or two later he was gone. I talked to the Dr. and he said it could have been a brain hemorage, heart attack, or seizure of some kind. This unfortunatly is a true story and the worst moment of my life, it was about a year and a half ago. Karl. |

This unfortunatly is a true story and the worst moment of my life, it was about a year and a half ago. Karl. Well shoot! I'm sorry to hear that. That really bites. I've been doing a tad of research, you don't attribute his passing with petting do you? The theory is there, but in practice, I think the worst extreme habitual petting could do, is make the cat lazier. Your one in a million dollar cat would have let you know if you was "hurting" him, you know. From what I've been reading, it's all kind of self leveling. I brought this up, because I do give Ruprecht lots of massages. He keeps coming to me, especially after he wakes up, and after he eats. Let me back up and punt! I had a girl-friend who gave me frequent massages, and one night, I guess she was just tense or something, but she was working on my back and basically, like a ketchup packet she was pushing the blood towards my head. I couldn't say nothing at the time I didn't wanna hurt her feelings, it was not very un-comfortable, but short story, it gave me a migraine for days. This was the last time I let it happen. (oh nooo.. I'm good thanks...none for me please..lol) |
