Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2006Kitty Kisses and Nibbles
Persia's tap me on my nose routine is now common practice and is no longer reserved for waking me up. If I'm stretched out on the couch reading a book, she'll put two paws up on the couch and reach out and touch my face to get my attention. Lately, to accompany that, after rubbing her face all over my hand and wrist, she gives it a single kitty kiss (lick) and then gently bites my wrist. In return, give her scritches on the neck and rub along her nose. All the while I'm being looked at with these gorgeous green eyes and being subjected to major purrs. If she happens to be up on the couch with me, sometimes I get a gentle kitty kiss on the cheek after she taps my face. This can go on for an indeterminate amount of time. It's very endearing but we all know why she's doing it. And even as I giggle at this behaviour, I have to say, "Persia, it's not time [for food] yet!" :) Jill >Persia's tap me on my nose routine is now common practice and is no longer >reserved for waking me up.

(OK, fluffy cutie ;)). ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War >> Persia's tap me on my nose routine is now common practice and is no >> longer reserved for waking me up. If I'm stretched out on the couch [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Make Levees, Not War Nawwww, Persia would *never* have an ulterior motive! She just loves me, that's all. Oh wait, what was that bag of food you just brought in from the car? Heheh. Fluffy Persia! I think she heard the vet tell me she lost a pound so she's trying to make up for it! And really, that soft paw on the face, the kitty kisses and the gentle nibbles to my wrist just make me love her all the more :) I wish I could take pictures of those big green eyes looking at me when she does this. Her pupils are dilated and I can see a golden ring around the green of her iris. It's just an amazing sight but not something I can photograph.

It's just an amazing sight but >not something I can photograph. Persia is very sweet. She really does love you! I only got love nips from Betty two or three times - very rare. I liked them, but I think she was afraid of hurting hoomins. She seemed to think I was something extremely breakable that needed to be handled with care. :) Does her looking at you look anything your picture here: http://community.webshots.com/photo/73563246/1073565030046690505DJgVub >> Nawwww, Persia would *never* have an ulterior motive!

I was just fiddling with the camera and she was in my lap. That's my girl :) Jill I just love kitty kisses! Brandy is a big one for kissing. Matter of fact, she's more like a puppy--she will lick my hands and face like a little toy puppy and purr that motorcycle sound of hers, all the while owning my face and hand, and when I give her scritchies she will twist her tail into the most bizarre corkscrewy shape. Roxie will give the gentlest of nips, barely enough to feel the points of her teeth, and for Stosh it's his pick-up. When we give him his coming-home hug, he leans into our chests, sitting on our arms, and presses himself as heavily as he can into us. I figure that's a kind of cat hug. Odessa is not so much a kisser, but when she feels affectionate and wants a hug, she'll tuck her head under my jaw, just over the collarbone, and close her eyes and loosen up. Blessed be, Baha > Persia's tap me on my nose routine is now common practice and is no longer > reserved for waking me up.

I use "the smooch" (hold cat, put lips next to ear and draw in air, making high-pitched noise) as a method of painless discipline--I ***never*** hit my babies--haven't had to discipline Sweetie in years--so it's not the kind of thing that every cat will do.

I do, however, enjoy waking up from naps to Kumani's "blessings" as she presses her paw against my forehead or cheek, lifts, presses... --Fil |
