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

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?

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

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

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.

@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.

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.

one time Ozma was lying stretched out in the warm sun. I walked in the room, she looked at me, stretched out MORE. She yawned. She was so cute. So soft looking.

I reached down.

I pet the belly.

She wrapped her legs around my arm and kicked me without mercy.

Have to link the video rather than a picture. Those are my girls, running around for the joy of life.

My kitty just killed a spider for me. She brought it to my attention, too – but NOT by bringing it to me. She left it where she killed it. (She has been SUPER mad at me so this makes me very happy).

ETA: omg she ate it once she got her pets for killing it.

May I share my foster kittens with y’all here? Even if I can never find here because it doesn’t show up on Google Results. (I have it bookmarked finally.)
