Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2007The alien in Owl
Dear group, our Owl is occupied by an alien - the tongue! It lives in Owl's mouth. I noticed it first, when Owl came, as usual, for a cuddle on my lap. I was sitting on the sofa, thinking of nothing bad. He didn't forget to step on my solar-plexus. As I folded myself with a moan, the alien took control over Owl and forced him, to take my nose between his paws and start a few testing-licks. Well, the nose must have been very good because Owl had climbed my breast by now, his face in reaching area of my nose. The alien took over immediately and mercyless. My nose got an extreme cleaning including sandblasting. Every attempt to bring my nose into safety was doomed to failure and was punished by licking it anew. No begging for mercy and no whimpering was successful. Several layers of skin falled prey to the tongue. Now I'm sitting here at my computer with a glaring red nose and I'm happy that I don't have to buy a red nose for the upcoming carnival:-) This is how life can be...

Caliban also kindly exfoliates the skin in my face now and then.

You might have hit on something here. Actually, most people I know, even cat lovers, really hate being licked by cats. I don't understand that - I love it. I like that kitty tongues are scratchy and relatively dry. Relative to dogs, that is. Dog tongues are slimy - eww! (If not for the slime, I'd probably enjoy being licked by dogs - but they are, Blanche, they are.) > The only hitch is trying to train Owl (and any others) to do it on > command. HA!

Ketzl, after 3 1/2 years here, has yet to lick, but my previous cat, Tux, used to lick my forearms. For me, it was a cross between pleasure and pain: that raspy tongue did tickle, but on the hair of my arm, it always became slightly irritating after about 5 minutes. Not to mention that it usually caused the spot to itch afterward. I always kept anti-itch cream on hand because I'd never discourage her from doing it, god forbid.

I dunno - this reminds me of the guy who decided to try to brush his cat's teeth using one of those little finger toothbrushes and some chicken or fish flavoured toothpaste. The cat, quite naturally, thought 'What a nice human to bring me such a tasty-smelling treat' and tried to bite off a piece. I don't mind being licked by a cat, but I'm not sure the cat's going to get the right idea if there's food (or anything that smells like food) involved. But they'd make great spa workers otherwise - they can do massage and acupuncture at the same time!

Well, my site is valid html according to W3C and the CSS is as well. There should nothing jump up and down. > Weirdly, iCab's error reporting says there's no problem (and it's > picky about correct coding). I agree with iCab's report. But I will post this into my Macromedia group to find a solution. The only thing on my starting page is an animated gif. The enter-button is on the picture of Tientje.

No, of course not:-) It was my intension to make my site working for all browsers. Maybe you try this page as a starting page for you?: http://www.gwsystems.com/inge/e_catmain.htm Purrs to you Inge and the catgang SignatureCatManiacs World: http://www.gwsystems.com/inge > Am 06.02.2007 schrieb Ketzl's Dad: > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > spot:-) The only problem is stopping him in time before the skin gets > sore... Jake likes to lick too. And it has to be my face. It does nearly take the skin off! Kayla wants to lick, and she is just drippy and not slimy. She is still a baby and doesn't have bad breath. But I know I have to stop her because her breath won't always be sweet. And it is a terrible habit for a dog to get into. Jo rotflol that is a wonderful story Inge!! He is a very persisant little boy!! > Dear group, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > This is how life can be... > Inge and the catgang > Dear group, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > took control over Owl and forced him, to take my nose between his paws > and start a few testing-licks. Inge, Its not the tongue in his mouth that is the alien, its the nose on your face. Poor Owl is trying to figure out what that protrusion on your face is doing there. Silly hooman, you should know this.

Thank you for setting things strait:-) I'm really a silly hooman, that I didn't think of the obvious:-) > Julie (who has been in love with Owl since he was a kitten, he's such a > cutie-pie) Owl is the most gentle cat I ever met. He never raised a paw against his fellow cats or us, he _always_ is in a good mood and such a cuddle-bug. Even TED loves him dearly. He said that he never met a cat which is as trustful as Owl. Such a good and happy boy he is... Purrs to you Inge and the catgang SignatureCatManiacs World: http://www.gwsystems.com/inge > Dear group, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > This is how life can be... > Inge and the catgang Great story! Thanks for the laugh, Inge. Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek
