@helvetica I miss the updates of your whiny overdramatic Huskies the most.

he’s unaccustomed to discomfort <-- that’s a medical diagnosis from his vet that I paid for

Oh. He’s middle-class. I get it.

Piggy and Lizzy (most often referred to as the baby). Piggy is the remaining brother from a pair of rescue kittens we got in 2007. The baby was one of four kittens born in the golf cart barn at my former job about a year ago that my coworker ended up fostering. I did not want another cat, but she kept asking so I was like, I will ask my son. Thinking, of course, that he would say no. Instead he texted that he WOULD LOVE A KITTEN and here we are.

That’s an invitation to the danger zone.

[Duke Whisky]

@Narson I can’t resist the floofy belly.

Every time I fall for the trap. Every time it was worth it.

Not an invitation. It is a trap. They all do it.

This thread makes me hate my apt complex. I WANT no I NEED a cat but they charge more rent for one. I’ll have to adopt three when I get my house soon!

Does Cinna though? She asks for them. She asks for them so much.

When you reach for your cat’s belly, are your fingers out, or do you curl them in a bit like you’re making a fist?

Cinna has a danger belly. But Cinna has a whole danger BODY when she’s activated.

Sansa is a perfect princess who never attacks or claws anyone. She lets you BURY YOUR FINGERS in her FLUFF.

@Roz she also jumps up for your hand for pets in a way no cat of mine has ever done

I pick him up and pet him and he has to suffer that because he is a ragdoll cat.

I present to you the Cinna bowl:

In which I go around with my hand under Cinna’s butt, making a bowl of her, and go around asking people if they want any pudding, as they rub her belly.

This ends in less claw marks than you’d think.

[Snackness]

@Tez want pudding

[Tez]

@Snackness She’s very soft and silky. Just sink your fingers into her belly and smush gently.

And beware the moment when her eyes dilate.

her eyes are screaming no

[Narson]

@Tez Also perfectly positioned for launching at certain basement dwelling people.

I did say LESS clawmarks, not NO clawmarks.

@KarmaBum If you want to rub a cat’s belly, try doing it with a fist instead of your palm. I’ve heard cats can’t tell the difference between a hand with fingers out and a paw with claws out.

Meowmi might still not like bellytouchins, but it might get you a hit of that sweet sweet floof.
