Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2005OK, What does this cat think he's doing?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- TK's 10 months into leaving the feral world behind and he's becoming quite an affectionate housecat. A month ago he started doing the "paw thing", as my wife calls it (kneading). A week ago he added a bite to the kneading. He'll climb up on my chest when I lie down, start purring and pawing, and then bite down on my shoulder and hold on for 3 or 4 minutes. He keeps purring and pawing the whole time and seems to wheeze and grunt a little between purrs. Kinda cute, but he bites down hard. He only does it with me, and only bites my right shoulder. It seems like some kind of maternal thing, but I've never seen the bite from any other cat. What does he think he's doing? > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > like some kind of maternal thing, but I've never seen the bite from any > other cat. What does he think he's doing? Whoa! Did you mean 3-4 seconds?? In any case I think he really, really loves you as this sounds like what males do when they mate. As some sage person just put it yesterday in this group, not having much of a forebrain boy cats cannot discriminate between "love and lust." In my experience many human males also have this problem. >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > In my experience many human males also have this problem.

I don't think it is. I never had one until Grant that was that lovey, but I've seen lots of posters that have similar love bugs. I don't even think it is the "domination" thing as much as "I love you so much I want to just eat you up" kind of thinking. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: mlbriggs <mlbriggs@nospam.com> >Has the cat been neutered? He sure has. Got "snipped" back in April. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: "Mary" <crazyaboutfelines@yahoo.com> >Whoa! Did you mean 3-4 seconds?? No!! 3 - 4 MINUTES. He just clamps down, paws, purrs, grunts, wheezes, and drools. Then gets up and lies down somewhere nearby. It hurts a little...like a solid pinch. I've just been letting him continue to try and figure out what he's trying to do. >I think he really, >really loves you as this sounds like what males do when they mate. Oh.....great! I've got a cat that needs a therapist!! I've always thought that he may be a little loony. I suppose I should just be happy that he likes me. >As some sage person just put it yesterday in this group, not having >much of a forebrain boy cats cannot discriminate between "love >and lust." > >In my experience many human males also have this problem. I think I'll reserve comment on that last line. :) > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > wheezes, and drools. Then gets up and lies down somewhere > nearby.

Of course! Love bites are very special. Cheeks gave me my first couple the other day--and she has been here since November 2001. I was on the phone, typically a time she pays me a lot of attention. When rubbing her face all over me did not get my attention, she began gently but firmly biting my finger! All the while purring up a storm and head butting me. Cats are just weird and wonderful. > >As some sage person just put it yesterday in this group, not having > >much of a forebrain boy cats cannot discriminate between "love [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I think I'll reserve comment on that last line. :) Maybe we can agree that almost all love is good. :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: "Mary" <crazyaboutfelines@yahoo.com> >> No!! 3 - 4 MINUTES.

Yea, It's a serious question. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Have you ever considered a career in standup comedy? > Yea, It's a serious question. Hee! No, I am satisfied to annoy and amuse my friends and neighbors. I'm glad you thought it was funny. Seriously, you are lucky your cat loves you so much! > In my experience many human males also have this problem. .... HEY! I resemble that remark!!! Wait, no, I mean.......
