It works with dogs…
…no hostilities so my hand reaches in to “scritch” my kitty.
Dang it, Andy! Don’t kill my hand when it comes in peace!
Oh! I interrupted you when you were watching your television program!
=(^+^)=
Andy is all for it when we first wake up and greet each other: “‘Scritch’ me up and down my spine, Douglas! And rub that spot between my eyes and one my nose, too!” Yeah.
We play the “Mousies in the Kitchen Cabinets” game for the first time of the day, followed by our breakfasts.
I turn on the television, Andy finishes pooping or whatever he does after eating…or maybe it’s before – I give him some privacy – then he hops on the ottoman for the first Greenies of the day.
Greenies eaten, he hops on the end table to take his first kitty bath of the day.
That done, he turns into “Mean Kitty who says ‘NOT NOW!'”
Whew! Don’t stick your hand into that trap! (I always do….)
HE IS SAME AS ME. DON’T SCRITCH ME WHEN I’M WATCHING MY PROGRAMS AND ONLY I CAN GUESS OUT LOUD AT JEOPARDY.
It’s his way!
People and kitties do have their routines, and protocols, that need to be followed. 🙂
So Andy reminds me!
I always do with mine too. 🙂
It’s impossible to resist! Andy is so soft and touchable otherwise….
He attacked because kitty didn’t like it when you interrupted his TV time.
He interrupts my tv time all the time. Tit for tat, eye for eye, tooth for tooth (ouch!). I guess it counts only one direction1
Disdain, and then attack! Bravo, Andy!
Cheeky kitty!
I hope he doesn’t draw blood, Doug!
He has, but only rarely and always with a claw.
Ouch! Rinse it with H2O2 then put Neosporin on it.
Exactly! Then watch for redness around the wound in case there is infection requiring professional cafre.
Bingo. Age does bring wisdom. 🤙🏻
Practice reveals erroneous steps and that leads toward perfection!
Precisely!
Humans can be such pests after they’ve done their jobs
So it seems!
Wow, a regular routine! Ours like to keep us guessing!
There is some predictable behaviors based on location of the kitty. This particular location is Andy’s “Bug Off, Doug” spot.
