I think I've crossed the line into mad cat slave now...

I think you may have. Grin

Just how long do you do it for?

Wolfiefan · 04/11/2016 23:55

You've made a deal with the kitty satan. Shook hands and everything!
Mine prefer a head butt.

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 04/11/2016 23:56

Of course I do!!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 04/11/2016 23:56

Not long

quite a long time actually, he loves it and spreads his toes, then puts the other one out to be held

Yes, all the time. I now accept my role as cat slave Grin

Wolfiefan · 04/11/2016 23:58

We used to have a cat that loved this. We had to put our finger in between his pads and sort of massage! Blush
How do we find this stuff out?! Confused

RustyPaperclip · 05/11/2016 00:00

Our new boy likes reaching out and gently patting my mouth in the night. It's very sweet and I try to forget he has most likely just been in the cat litter Confused

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 05/11/2016 00:01

Yes, Puccini likes a toe massage.

I try but they are not keen. Very very occasionally I may be allowed to. One of the will put her paw on my shoulder when she's on the back of the sofa and I Am sometimes allowed to hold it.

TroysMammy · 05/11/2016 08:34

Troy used to sleep on my pillow and I would hold his paw in the night.

Botanicbaby · 05/11/2016 09:41

I fully accept my cat slave role to the extent that I feel privileged, nay honoured, to be able to hold my cat's paw. When it suits her obviously.

As a rescue cat she wasn't keen on her paws being touched at first but she now condescends to let me hold paws with her occasionally & I love it as they're so so soft Smile

Reminds me of the phrase-

'When you feed a dog they think you are King, when you feed a cat they think THEY'RE king' Grin

Yes! MCat not so keen, but little M has long toes, like fingers, on his front paws, which he'll wrap around my finger.

He also likes a foot rub - tickle between his toe beans on his little back feets, and he'll splay his toes out enabling you to get right in there. I can clip his nails in his sleep, he's that chilled, comatose in fact.

Good to see Puccini Dame! Much opera singing lately?

Soubriquet · 05/11/2016 12:40

Urm...she holds hands with me...with her claws...whilst she bites my hands.

Toddlerteaplease · 05/11/2016 13:11

Rubbish, stop telling us about Little Ms adorable fingers. I want him! Envy

acatcalledjohn · 05/11/2016 13:15

Yup, I do that.

Girl cat holds my hand too by gently curling her paw around my finger.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 05/11/2016 15:01

No opera singing at night anymore now he sleeps with us at night!! Wink

Since he got poorly he has to have daily Cystaid and it's calmed him right down , still chatty but no frantic arias anymoreGrin

I have spoken with Little M Toddler, and he will rent himself out for the day for negotiable amounts of Zooplus vouchers. Or 5 live frogs, that he will pat gently, and delight in their froggy screams, which shall be returned at end of day, unscathed.

He's under the covers with me now, making a sort of rhythmic "uhm" noise. (I have a tummy bug, hence being in bed.) Please excuse my hairy leg - he's shoved his paws under it for extra toastiness.

MCat's luxuriating in having the sofa all to himself.

Lanaorana1 · 05/11/2016 19:10

Yes, me and Mr C hold paws at night after we turn the lights out.

If I am stressed he - pointedly gracious - lets me have The Tail in one hand, or he flings it round my neck like a boa.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 05/11/2016 19:11

AwwwwwSmile

Hope you feel better soonFlowers
