Mamanyt1953 Mamanyt1953 I know! A laugh a minute around here. I’m right here and I can’t keep up!

surya surya I’m not lion when I say that video kept me laughing! It looked like the lion wanted to drive at first. Then the tongue washing! :lol: That lion was so sweet. BJ has moments like that and then he swats me. Lol I think we will get there. I’m just glad he isn’t as big as the lion when he swats me.

BJ is still laying at my feet so I am trying to write this quickly and quietly.
Here is how things went tonight.

We started with a late supper. I wanted him to be hungry tonight and to concentrate on eating.

A hungry cat doesn’t pat much attention to my hand as I scratch very gently on his neck.

I slowly work my hand to the top of his head.

I finally feel my target. The tick on his head.

BJ is so intent on his food and comfortable with the head massage, he doesn’t realize I am removing the tick.
F38FE4DA-1235-496A-A56A-F8A5B0ADDB72.jpeg

The tick is gone and he eats in comfort.

After eating he comes over to me.
C02DD4B1-6BFE-4EDB-996E-315002E4DE7E.jpeg

He meows his thanks. I guess he does know the tick is gone. Lol
77C52A3E-A305-4AF5-A64B-F09B67A6DF34.jpeg

He seems to want more attention and sits to watch me.
4E0931AA-0A63-4954-A8FE-03482C9F5A15.jpeg

I use the stick on the bird toy to rub his head.

Finally a good reaction to the bird toy!

He pushed his head against the stick.
D869EFDA-C7DC-4CF8-9AFE-F3EE970596F9.jpeg

I fly the bird above him and get an interested kitty!
A41D0BB8-D324-4DB3-8608-3C30BA5AE585.jpeg

He prefers the stick part though.

After only a minute of scratching BJ lays down.
26097014-7F8F-4D4D-B773-D7B5D84AA29A.jpeg

Relaxing now, he puts his paws against my foot.
B5D12783-BCDE-4F97-886B-1E83F05498BA.jpeg

He’s starting to melt.
76EF8843-645F-4814-8DE8-DCEBF1468FF2.jpeg

I get a look of sheer bliss as I scratch under his chin.
DEEABFCF-3399-4D65-972D-DE9B3DBE0778.jpeg

BJ is smiling.
F285D818-E209-492B-837A-E2F6E9ADDC27.jpeg

He holds the stick between his legs.
0BB9C68A-721E-4193-862C-A6E0A3E4C7FC.jpeg

My boy is improving. He actually starts to make biscuits against my shoe.....

And falls fast asleep between my feet.
FF164C5B-C34F-4DB9-BD3E-EF34CD5977AC.jpeg

I am sitting on a very low stool with BJ testing deeply beneath me. I will stay here as long as I can sit here. If he wakes up I will move to the bed. He’ll have company in the room tonight. We are finding our way to a higher level of trust and relaxation. A night together may increase his secure feeling. Sweet tired BJ. He sleeps well right now.
Have a great night everyone. Shhhhh.
Don’t wake BJ.

:lol: No worries!
rubysmama rubysmama Mamanyt1953 Mamanyt1953 No tick pics. I would have put up a warning so you could avoid seeing it anyway. I did consider showing it for those who have not seen that type but I decided they can just google them to see one. It needs to be disposed on anyway. M maggiedemi some of my cats bite the stick toys too. Usually the tip of the stick but I found some with rubber tips instead of hard plastic. Maybe you could find one too so they won’t break a tooth! Hopefully they know how hard they can bite something safely anyway. Their teeth are pretty strong.

The other kitties are starting to feel a little ignored so I include some here tonight to show how they feel when I pay too much attention to another kitty. Don’t worry though, I got them to forgive me.

Banjo and Whistle cuddle each other.

Mitsy gives me the cold shoulder.

Both shoulders!

Saffron get in my face.

:) I have lots of snuggles to be forgiven.

BJ had his own problems.

I didn’t show up with treats for supper.

Dirty look.

The stink eye before the swat!

A slightly fluffed tail showed his displeasure.

Then he noticed my slippers......

And He fell in love.

Furry like kitties......

I promise I won’t eat your foot.

BJ likes fur slippers!
162E1B24-D240-47A9-B6AE-092E113CE5BE.jpeg

Can BJ have fur slippers?
EB31D0B7-C578-4EDC-9BCA-54FAD7BE1B6C.jpeg

Okay. You can go now. Just leave the slippers.

bbdoll22 bbdoll22 THANK YOU!!!!! Today was a hard one and reading your post just flipped it over. :) Helping them is so important to me and sometimes I run into others who don’t understand why I do it. Finding those who do , inspires me to keep going. I’m glad you enjoy the kitties. They are quite a bunch of characters. They rearward me constantly. The smiles are given in daily doses. I don’t know if you have a kitty or two who have touched your heart but I thought I would post something just for you that made me smile. ( to return the smile you gave me!)

Mitsy! Don’t drink my coffee!!!!

Whistle did it!

Wink, wink.

I hope you enjoyed the kitties. The wink comes from Thrasher, who sees all and knows all, but she’s not talking. ;)
