Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004Nap disturber
I'm lying on the bed reading a good book. Little Feet is lying nearby, deep in dreamland. Every now and then, I look over at him. He is so darned cute, that I want to reach over and skritch his ears, or rub his tummy, or just pet him. Howevr, I resist the temptation (you thought *I* was the nap disturber, didn't you?). So I'm watching him. At one point, the tip of his tail starts moving. It moves up and down. Each time it moves, it brushes against his forehead. His forehead twitches each time. After a few minutes of this, he places his paw on the tail, still asleep. But it takes more than this to stop the wily tail. After all, it is just the tip that is moving. A moment passes, while the tail remains still, waitiing for its prey. Little Feet drops back into his nap. Grasping its opening, the tip of the tail starts moving again, this time brushing forehead and nose. Little Feet's nose twitches. Little Feet's eyebrows twitch. Claws extend, and toes spread in the paw that is holding the tail. One more twitch, and Little Feet has had all he can stand. He slaps at the tail with his other paw, pulls the tail under his body, and goes back to sleep. He is not bothered by the evil tail after this.

That was really funny Mark,Wilson's tail often flicks me while he's asleep, now that he sleeps in the chair behind me, just like Little Bits.You know Wilson was only 5 weeks when I got him, born ferral, but he displays all the things that Buster does*or did* you wouldn't think he would,being found at such a young age, but I was once told, or heard that it take's 3 generations for the ferral in a cat to disappear, I dont know if its true or not but Wilson wouldn't have cause to behave as a ferral from 5 weeks unless it was hereditary, what do you think?

It also wakes him up sometimes, and sneaks up on him, and rudely attacks him. He is also very meticulous about making sure it is very clean, all the way down to the tippy-tip. ;) Theresa alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.

Sometimes, also, when he is resting beside me, he will wrap his tail around my arm, or leg, or whatever part of me is close to him. I don't know whether it is conscious or not, but it's cute.

Awww! Frank just slaps me with his tail. ;o( SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki Sounds like he's trying to link arms with you Jean.P. > > Stinky, too.

I'd pay money to see it. When my Lady Jane Grey washes her tail, she picks it up in her paw rather than holding it down. Regards and Purrs, O J << I'm lying on the bed reading a good book.

Frank has a very unruly tail, too, though it mostly slaps me in the face when we are sleeping, and not Frank. Sometimes, even now at the age of 16, Frank has to chase it around to put it in its place good and proper.
