Boop test
I've been thinking about that phrase I learned a few weeks ago, "Booping
the Hube", after Hubie sent some purrs to Captain for his sore leg. So I decided to do a little test to see if my kitties are boopable. Conveniently, both cats are resting on the sofa near me, after having worn one another out with chasing and wrestling all afternoon. Captain is closer, and within arm's length, so he got the first test. "Boop!" He didn't move. "Boop!" Nothing. He is SOUND asleep. His boop-meter appears to be temporarily deactivated. I GUESS he's boopable. Next came Stanley. He's a little farther away, and I had to lean to reach him. My movement woke him from his slumber enough to make him open his eyes. "Boop!" Little whiskers tickled my hand as he sniffed my finger. "Boop!" More sniffing of my boop finger. I could feel him purring. Stanley is DEFINITELY boopable. ) So we have one inconclusive result, and one "Yes" result. I'll have to run another boop test on Captain when he's something resembling conscious. Donna and the tired twosome known as Captain and Stanley P.S. Captain just turned so that he's doing an upside-downy head, so I thought he might be waking a bit. Nope. "Boop!" brought no response whatsoever. Apparently he doesn't need to actually wake up to change position. |

I must have missed the original "Boop the Hube" description Jill |

I booped Persia on her wittle belly (but from the side). Got the finger sniff. Booped again, she's looking at me like what *are* you doing? Booped the other side and she said "MEOW???" LOL Jill |

LOL Jill Stinky is totally boop-resistant. All I get is the quizzical look. IIRC, Hubie bats at the booping finger.

[[ On what part of the body do you perform a "boop"? I never figured
that out from the posts. I must have missed the original "Boop the Hube" description Jill On their round wittle bellies! ; Hugs, CatNipped]] Aha. And here I've been applying boops to their flank. No wonder Captain is displaying boop immunity. I'll have to give him a tummy boop and see if that makes a difference. Plus, I've just retested Stanley, who is napping next to me on the sofa. "Boop!", said I, with my boop finger applied to his belly. "Prrrt", answered Stanley, giving a stretch and going back to sleep. He's still rated boopable. ) Donna, Captain, and Stanley the boopable furball |

Rob is not very boopable, he f*rts when I boop him. Mike belches when I boop him, so is a marginal boop at best. Mandy is VERY boopable. She about goes ballistic. Very entertaining. Pam S. |
