Some cats* It's more common with certain breeds and of course and individual thing. But very much not all cats.

The silver lining is when they pass on they will always be a part of me.

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo of my cat outlined by my scratch scars when he passes.

Learn how to pet your cats so they don’t get overstimulated, learn how to read when they are about to be done getting pet. They do broadcast all this.

Some cats love getting roughly pet for extended periods of time. Some cats like to pet themselves with your hand. Some love to cuddle all day and are game for all pets. Learn about your cat.

why I don't really like cats

[–] tamal3 2 points 2 months ago

It's one of the reasons I like them: they're so self-possessed. "Done now!" I mean, I don't like getting scratched. But I respect it.
