The tops of Chessie's toes are like the finest velvet - she doesn't much
like having her toes touched but if I pet them very, very gently, I can get
away with it :)    She does like tummy tickles and will lie stretched out
full length on my arm while I rub her tummy and tell her what a very bestest

Kitty toes are a common mania around here!  Stinky has lovely round
feet, like snowshoes.  Lucky me, he loves paw massages! ;)

Persia doesn't like to have her paws touched (and yes, they are soft as
velvet!).  She doesn't have such compunctions about touching *my* "paws".
When sleeping, she'll often drape her paws over my hand or even wrap both
front paws around it and lay her head down on my hand like a pillow.  I find
that terribly endearing :)

My two have lovely velvet feeties, but I've never dared to touch them.
Kitty FC's because she is too potentially fierce, and Boyfriend's because I
think he still wouldn't trust me to do it and I don't want to lose his
hard-won confidence.
This post made me want to stroke feeties.  BF is out, but Kitty FC was
snoozing in front of the kitchen fire.   I *did* ask her first, so she
wasn't asleep.  She said yes, okay.  I gently stroked the top of her right
paw.  That was OK.  I did the same to her left paw, that was OK too.  I
stroked the right paw again, and she put her claws out and turned her paw
over, but she didn't scratch.  I went to the left paw again to stroke the
lovely velvet top of it, so very gently.  And what happened?
You can probably guess.  In an instant she grabbed my hand, bit it, and
clawed my finger that was stroking her paw.  Then she ran off, as if she
knew she was wrong to do it.  What's that about?

At night little paws go on my cheek and up my nose.  Kumani is curled
up on my pillow petting the human again.

She has two white toes on her right forepaw and two on her left back
paw for NO REASON!!  And the pads are pink there, instead of black
like the others!

Nocturne's WRATH is upon those who DARE touch her exalted toes.

Smokey sez, whatcha doin' Mom?  Wanna play with my feet?  THat's weird
but okay.  You feed me, and I luv u.

I think when she turned the paw over and displayed the claws, without
scratching you but preventing you from stroking that paw again, she was
giving you her warning.  Basically saying "OK, I let you have what you
wanted but now it's time to stop (or else..)".

My cats have never objected to getting their feet touched. That's because I
let them get used to it from a very early age, both through claw trimming
and general massage. Now, at the age of three and two, they are very
comfortable having their feet touched and groomed. But it's all a question
on starting early.

I try to get my cats used to having their toes tickled as well. They're both
relatively young (eight and four) and go outside quite a lot, so I don't
have to trim their claws, but as they get older they might need help, so I
am trying to get them happy about having their feet handled like that.

It was quite hard to get Ripley to accept that sort of attention, because he
was a timid eighteen-month old when he came to live with us, and he also had
a very badly infected toe that had to be amputated, which made him very
sensitive about having his feet touched. He accepts it now though, for short
periods.

Frank doesn't like his paws touched, but Nikki likes to get a paw
massage every now and then. She likes to have her toes separated and to
be tickled between the toes and at the base of the paw pad. Am I a good
slave or what? ;o)

Neither of the girls here like having their toes touched - but they
have to put up with an occassional "pinky toe" game.

OK Steve, not you've got us all wondering what the "pinky toe" game
is.  Is it anything like the 'paw game' my sweet Misty, who's waiting
for me at the bridge, and I used to play.  Most cats, if they're say
sitting on your computer desk, will move the foot away should you
gently place your forefinger on their foot.  Misty however,
appreciated the 'one-upmanship' of the superior position and would
place the paw on top of the finger.

The human would then place the finger on top of the paw followed by
Misty placing her paw on top of the finger.  This usually went on as
long as the human cared to play.  That cat just didn't want to be in
the subordinate position.

Regards and Purrs,
O J

Oh nothing elaborate. Sort of a take off of "this little piggy", which
I sometimes do when the they're all sprawled out. They usually put up
with it for a while, then give me one of those "that the h*ll are you
doing?" stares. When Sammy gets tired of my bugging her she gets up
and moves. LB either does like your Misty and puts her paw on my hand,
or goes into a meatloaf position and hides her toes.

Hahahaha!  Vino does this!  He's such a little sh*t, he has to be Top
Cat all the time.  The funniest part is that if you insist on putting
your finger on his paw for more than 3 go-arounds, he starts to get
annoyed and his whisker pads puff out and his whiskers stick forward
and he looks like a spoiled little brat!  Hee hee!

Vino doesn't mind having his paws petted.  I can stroke the tops of
them and he also likes it if I tickle in between his paw pads with my
finger.  However, I've posted before about what happens if I do that,
so I don't tend to do it anymore!

Yeah, it's really weird the way Vino has this foot fetish.  We had him
neutered at exactly 6 months of age.  But he still seems to be able to
get "excited".  Mind you, this foot thing seems to be about the only
thing he gets excited over.  He's a freak! ;-)

I have NEVER seen Licky's pee pee. With the girl kitties, you kind of
can't miss their private parts, especially when they stick their butts
in your face, which Roxy and Smudge do on a daily basis. But Licky's
a private kind of guy, and doesn't seem inclined to exhibit himself.

I've never seen what Boyfriend's got, either.  I know this is naive, and
hope the way I put it isn't too indelicate, but if he was to poke it out
(ahem)  where would it come from?    Under his tail from the bits he's been
neutered, or what?  I just have no idea and would like to know.

Neutering removes just the testicles.   They still have their little
penises.  

Does BF ever lie on his back, and do the belly up thing?  Or he must
clean his "privates" some time.  You can see then.  Right where you
would think it's supposed to be.  Between his back legs.  You can see
where he urinates from.  You see that little furry bit?  Think of that
as a little furry foreskin.  You can't really see his penis, it's
retracted up inside there.  If he somehow (not my business how ;))
becomes stimulated, or is thoroughly cleaning himself, his penis will
sometimes become erect, and come out of the fur.  If it ever happened,
you wouldn't miss it.  It's a pink hairless thing that's just a tad
alarming looking. ;)

I think he might be too shy and modest just yet.  He's very polite, you
know.
Thank you for enlightening me.  I'll look at the link now.

Vino's got a little spot, it's a little further in than his used-to-be
testicles, where he pees from.  When excited, a pink "thing" emerges,
it's about 3/4 inch long and 1/4 wide.  Very bizarre.

Thank you, Britta,  for this information.  I just *love* this group.   Where
else could I have asked what a cat's willy looks like?  :-)))
I don't think BF will ever let me see his, he's just too shy.  That's okay
with me.
I'm just used to animal male genitals (dog, guinea pig, hedgehog, horse etc
etc) appearing half way along the belly.  I just couldn't imagine where it
was tucked away in a boycat.

Kitty toes are wonderful things :)  Gossamer hates when I touch her soft

Felix tolerates attention to his front paws, but really hates having
his back paws handled [so of course I tease him a bit by tickling the
back paws once in a while ;-)].

Velvet toes, stretchy toes, pointy toes, big toes...they are all fascinating
when they are kitty toes.

I was petting Lady Jane Grey's front paws one time and she was purring
away like anything when she must have gotten overstimulated and she
chomped down on the back of my hand.  Since then I've gotten a little
more attuned to her moods and I can usually tell when she's getting
close to the edge. I was surprised though that she didn't just choose
to whap me with one of her paws first.

Regards and Purrs,
O J
