One thing I have always wondered.....When you stroke a cat, why does it
stick its bum in the air as your hand reaches its tail?
Ever single cat I have ever known does it. Even when the cat is curled up on
your lap and you are stroking it, when your hand goes towards the tail it
still raises it's bottom...is it a sexual thing?
