My old cat

7 replies

I have a 15 year old cat I rescued. She had a tough life but is nonetheless very affectionate and is a "velcro" cat.
But I just realised that she has never once made biscuits, my other cat does all the time. She hangs onto my leg all the time for grim death but no biscuits.
All of my previous 10 cats always did it.
I've had her for 4 years and she's clearly happy here and healthy after a dental, some teeth removed and lots of medical treatment on arrival. She used to spray everywhere but I've trained her out of that and the arrival of the new cat calmed her down.
Anyone else have a no biscuits cat?

Biscuits?

Mine likes to shimmy her tail instead. I think no biscuits is fine.

Yeah my old rescue - he's about ten now - adores me, speaks to me, loves all types strokes even belly rubs ... never a biscuit though.

My theory is they were taken from their mums too early. Mine was a multi cat home rescue - with 30 cats in his place of birth I imagine motherly love was in short supply

Biscuits?

That's the kneading motion they do on blankets and, if you're unlucky, knees.

One of mine does that on my bed; I think she's tucking me up for the night! The other one has occasionally been seen doing it but only on their doughnut bed. Both are rescues, but the first one was probably a pet whilst the second was known to be homeless from birth.

The second one does eat biscuits, though, given the chance. And I don't mean dry cat food.

My cat rarely makes biscuits but she gives me endless headbumps.
