Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004You've got a tuuuummy!
I'm sitting at the computer, and Buster is stretched out across my lap. I've got the virus scanner running, so I don't have anything to do but love a kitty. As I skritch Buster's head, he rolls over onto his back. I start singing, "You've got a tuuummy, you've got a tuuummy..." while I also rub his tummy. Buster gives me one of *those* looks, and proceeds to show me that I have a tummy too, by kneading my oh too close tummy with his claws out. "Ouch! Ooch! Oh we boooth have <Ouch!> tuuuummies... <Ow!>" Hugs and Purrs, Mark, the pokeable > I'm sitting at the computer, and Buster is stretched out across my > lap.

Most of mine won't accept tummy skritches; not sure why. Perhaps it offends the exaggerated sense of dignity they like to evince. >Buster gives me one of *those* looks, and proceeds to show me that I >have a tummy too, by kneading my oh too close tummy with his claws >out. > >"Ouch! Ooch! Oh we boooth have <Ouch!> tuuuummies... <Ow!>" Makes me appreciate the things that mama cats have to go through to raise a litter. Little kitten claws are sharp. Regards and Purrs, O J O J <ojtb@PANTS.pacbell.net> had some very interesting things to say about Re: You've got a tuuuummy!: > Most of mine won't accept tummy skritches; not sure why. Perhaps >it offends the exaggerated sense of dignity they like to evince. Felix *loves* tummy rubs, and a cat friend of ours decided after I gave her one that she enjoys them too. :-) > Makes me appreciate the things that mama cats have to go through >to raise a litter. Little kitten claws are sharp. Yep. I have a frequent visitor to my patio, in the form of a young male kitten [probable age 3 or 4 months, I'll try to get a picture]. He oscillates between "pet me pet me purr purr purr" to ferocious attacks on my hand [his little teeth are sharp too!] and back again. I keep trying :-) [last night when I went out to chat with him, he started purring while I was talking to him outside petting range]. I'm not sure whether he has people or not. I only see him at night, usually. He's definitely not feral [loves those ear rubs and back scritches, and I even got a lick from him yesterday]. Sometimes, he's very hungry, other times he'll politely nibble at the food I provide but not show much interest in eating it. Signature"Don't mess with major appliances unless you know what you are doing (or unless your life insurance policy is up-to-date)." - John, RCFL Very much looking forward to the pic!

Perhaps >it offends the exaggerated sense of dignity they like to evince. Stinky has a magnificent white belly, which he enjoys displaying. There's a favorite hassock that he likes to roll around on. I call out "Show me the belly!" and he flips on his back. ;) When he is sufficently relaxed, he'll let me rub my face on his belly. Dignity? Who needs dignity? ;) Theresa My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ For my kitties, the showing of the tummy is the bait in the "Cat Hand trap" Mischief and Imp will let me scratch it for like a second before they turn into all claws and scratch up my hand. Ow! Kristi > Stinky has a magnificent white belly, which he enjoys displaying. > There's a favorite hassock that he likes to roll around on.

Sometimes. Other times, he will bury ten claws in my scalp. Nikki lets me do it too, but she has this long-suffering look when I bring my face too close to her. She doesn't like to be that close up and personal. Tummy scritches she does enjoy.
