Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2007A tail in the hand beats two in the bush!
You just know your cat trusts you when you can go to sleep with her tail in your hand :) Or when she wraps her tail around your wrist and you just nod off to sleep (hearing purrs the whole while).. It's love!

Its body heat and his much preferred daddy is nearly bald.

I do agree we snuggle together for warmth. But I don't let her hold my tail <G> Jill > You just know your cat trusts you when you can go to sleep with her tail in > your hand :) Or when she wraps her tail around your wrist and you just nod > off to sleep (hearing purrs the whole while).. It's love! > > Jill <--loves Persia... and Persia loves Jill That is trust, all right. Even after 3 and a half years here Ketzl is very fussy about who can -- or better put: cannot -- touch his tail. He is getting better, though. He doesn't complain nearly as much as he used to. On these colder nights, I consider myself very very fortunate when he decides it will be okay to crawl on top of me and take a nap -- always a nap, never planning, it seems, to spend the night there. Just as well: he's a bit on the heavy side. Still, it feels great on a cold night. >You just know your cat trusts you when you can go to sleep with her tail in >your hand :) Or when she wraps her tail around your wrist and you just nod >off to sleep (hearing purrs the whole while)..

The thing that really amazes me is how he puts his paw into my hand, and lets me hold it.

If she's really relaxed, I can put my hand between her back legs and rest my palm on her tummy or chest. True nirvana is giving her a reverse chin scritch with my fingers, while keeping my hand on her chest. This is always worth a few extra decibels from the Purr motor. If she's not relaxed, I'll get a bunny kickin. Awwwww.....! My two who have long tails both love it when I comb them! (Their tails, or any other part of them.) My two who are Japanese Bobtails or mixes thereof do NOT like my hand on their tails. (They feel weird anyway because the bones of the tail curl around inside.) I love to watch those short-tailed cats switch their tails though. They remind me of those cat clocks where the tail moves by the second, and they make a most delightful thump.

I was wounded... should have gotten a purple heart. Dang, that hurt. And I was asleep, wasn't thinking... let my hand fall down on her oh so soft belly and dammit! I was wounded! I still have the danged scars. http://pets.webshots.com/photo/1084845102046690505Stttgd Jill >>> You just know your cat trusts you when you can go to sleep with her >>> tail in [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Jill I periodically wake up with "inexplicable" shin, calf and ankle wounds. Oddly, (or not) that's the general region where Ketzl sleeps. Still, he's getting better about the tail thing. He's even begun to like having it brushed. Now I need to work on brushing his belly without getting the bunny kicks. Speaking of kicks, sometimes when we play "string" the string (a ribbon, actually; he doesn't know the difference) gets wound around him a few times and after a brief pause while he contemplates the situation he sets off in this series of running mule-kicks to try to dislodge the string. It's hilarious. Whatta guy.  SignatureJoey DoWop Dee Remember: It is To Laugh >> You do not! want to be on the end of a bunny kick from Persia! I was >> wounded... should have gotten a purple heart.

She sleeps on my feet too, but under the covers. I really can't believe she hasn't had her brains kicked out. But she does make a point of keeping her weight in place, so it's hard to get any momentum. >>> You just know your cat trusts you when you can go to sleep with her >>> tail in [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Jill Cali keeps her claws in for the most part when Bunny Kickin. Provided you get the point within the allotted time of course.
