The litter tray

The worlds most tolerant cat?

Ollivander84 · 27/05/2017 02:05

I was thinking tonight having read about some cats being overstimulated when stroked and then clawing/biting
Ollie has sat all night with me going
"I stroke your armpits!"
"I blow raspberries on your tummy!"
"I clip your long claw!" (He offers his paw to have them done)


Literally you can fuss and pet and bear hug him all day and all he does is purr or blink at you Grin I accidentally poked him right in the ear and he just blinked
Stable cat likes being fussed but will then smack you around the face to say "enough now lowly human"

He's gorgeous!

My cats are all very affectionate but do that irritating thing of head butting you when you're trying to mess about on mumsnet write essays.

Love Ollie. He's like a little cartoon cat. My boy allows manhandling ( cathandling?) to the extreme. He whoomphs on the floor for tummy tickles at any opportunity, allows spinning on his back on the wood floors, Can be carted around like a toy. I adore him Grin

Whoomphing

Cartoon in the idiotic way? Grin
I'm currently having a full conversation with him as he's whining he's a vampire cat that wants to go and play in the dark with the traffic. Not. Happening

See that belly is just asking for raspberries!

Not in an idiotic way, the round head, big eyes, like an exaggerated drawing of a cute cat!

Weedsnseeds1 · 27/05/2017 02:28

How is your back getting on?

NonStopDisco · 27/05/2017 02:32

I have a raspberry loving cat too! The other would take my face off if I tried, but she does allow a short snuggle.

Ollivander84 · 27/05/2017 02:36

He says he does not have big eyes and he has no idea what the humans are saying Wink

Quite well, I walked 3km yesterday and was a bit much as I'm only 2 weeks post op. Stitches are out and wound is healing despite ollies insistence on kneading it to help Hmm

Big, round, goggly eyes...

Ollivander84 · 27/05/2017 02:44

I read that and laughed and he's stalked off in disgust GrinGrin

I have had the "three strokes and I chomp" type cat before. I now have the utterly adoring, bodyguard cat.

Toddlerteaplease · 27/05/2017 05:42

I'm so in love with Ollie!

Toddlerteaplease · 27/05/2017 07:49

Tell him big eyes are a compliment. He reminds me of the scene In Allo Allo, where Helga describes Herr Flick's eyes as the size of poached eggs. Grin

YesItsMeIDontCare · 27/05/2017 07:55

Leroy whoomps, but I'm the only one allowed to blow raspberries on the floofy tumter.

Timmytoo · 27/05/2017 08:01

Wow OP, I have an identical cat - looks and personality wise. It's uncanny I thought that was my cat. Black cats are the most loveable ones ever.

Excuse the bed it was a bit disheveled and couldn't bear to move the "king" to fix it. Here's another more decent picture 😂

Black cats are the best. We had an Ollie look a like but he sadly died when he was only 3. He was bonkers. Also have the advantage that you do t have to put sun cream on their white ears, as we did with our stunning white boy. Purple kids sticks were decidedly an affront to his dignity.

Ollie has sat all night with me going
"I stroke your armpits!"
"I blow raspberries on your tummy!


I must admit that all the way up to the next bit I was imaging that Ollie was doing these things to you ...

Ollivander84 · 27/05/2017 11:18

His is usually "poor human, stitches? I knead them better"
"You too hot? I lie on you"

... You sleep too much - I wake you up?
... You have too much food - I share with you?
... You go to bathroom alone? I chaperone you?
... You sitting down? I want to play! ?

Sorry, but my cat is the most tolerant and lovely squishbucket in the world. Not one of us have ever had even an accidental claw, including the three pre-schoolers. I once caught my 2 yrs old dragging her across the yard by the back thigh and she just let her head bump lazily along the ground till I rescued her. SHe is the cat among all cats.

reallyanotherone · 27/05/2017 11:36

I had a cat i used to describe as "agressively friendly". Ignore him at your peril.

He would let you do anything, from dress him up to push him round in a pram. Ignore him though and he'd be climbing up you, yelling at you until you fussed him, getting right in your face.

Vet once didn't get what i meant- i think they heard agressive and got worried. At the end of 15 mins when they'd ben head butted across the room, been mugged for cuddles, and throughly shouted at for daring to look at the computer- then had a cat throw himself across the computer keyboard, they figured it out.

HemanOrSheRa · 27/05/2017 11:37

I love Ollie's eyes Smile.

My sister had a cat who enjoyed being rolled along the floor. I'd say 'Let's play roly poly!' He'd stretch out to his full length I'd roll him like a sausage Grin. He also enjoyed having his bum tapped Grin.

My old girl cat used to like being spun around on her back on the kitchen floor Smile. I loved that girl.
