Re: Ear Tufts!


Both my pedigree Selkirks have ear tufts - in fact many of the breed do and the only "feral" cat in their pedigree was Miss De Pesto of Noface 21 years ago who had one pedigree parent

Quite a few of the pedigree breeds have ear tufts so I wonder if some of them have been sowing wild oats among the ferals/moggies? I've had many farm cats and exferals and I can't say any of them have had ear tufts - I wonder if it's an area thing as well which might indicate the sowing of wild oats too!

Re: Ear Tufts!


The question of blinking - I have noticed that rather than slowly blinking, Merlin blinks with both eyes at the same time and then sort of screws his eyelids together a bit, which sort of makes his whole face look as if he is smiling! Of course, if you do this back, you can't see what your cat is doing next!!!

I think that counts as being the same thing. He is gesturing.

It involved two paws on one hand slightly sliding across his cheek
