Re: Habits - and question.


Emma, feet are his worst fear as far as I'm aware. He was a stray before the rescue got him, but I'm sure he's been abused before, and that kicking was a large part of it. When I'm really tired and he's being scared of things he really shouldn't have to be scared of, I seriously get angry with people for treating cats the way some of them do, on Ninja's behalf


Edit: And thanks you two Donna, I'm sure your moggies'll come round soon enough, with your help and care

When I do it to Bronwyn she goes mad....her eyes nearly pop out of her head and she acts as if she is in ecstasy!! lol very funny to watch...and she will also make the greeting noise when I do it to her..



Arthur will just slowly blink back at me
I read about this years ago in a cat magazine & have tried it with 3 cats....and thet NEVER blink back!! I must be doing it wrong!
