    I rub my chin against their heads in the same motion as licking would produce. They seem to interpret it as grooming behavior, as they’ll start grooming me back when I do it, whether or not they know I’m not actually grooming them. Well, the one tries to shove her nose up my nose when I do it, but close enough.

    my cat licked to groom me yesterday, for the first time!!!

    ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

    she’s the best cat in the world. and that’s not for debate. she should be compared with Jesus rather than other cats.

        Yes.

        A firefly came in to the room. She was the first cat that had a chance to actually catch the laser pointer, she hit it, but when she saw it was a living animal she stop fighting it and just watched it with kindness and did not attack it, even when it shined again.

        That is some biblical messianic cat.

        She has never scratched, or bitten, or even hissed. ever.

        She never steals food, left an open tray of sushi on the table overnight and she didn’t to touch it.

        She doesn’t throw stuff from shelves.

        She is so kind and loving.

        I genuinely fear that if she learns that cat food is made from animals she might go vegan.

      one of our cats licks my arm, when i hold him, to tell me he wants down.

      otherwise he is really into fingers. he cleans our hands and starts chewing on them. not sure if it’s part of the grooming ritual (because they also “chew” on their fur to treat matting) or he has some weird fetish.

      No, it’s Jesus who should be compared to your cat, not the other way.
