I will state this for the 12397234234 time.
GOOGLE IS A FREAK...
This cat confuses the heck out of me. Joey and Kahlua are both cuddlers and both like to be petted. But if they are tired of it they will walk away. But Google is another story. He will sit there and let me rub his head and purr away and then about 30 seconds later I have 10 claws and some teeth digging into my arm with no warning what-so-ever... Its annoying!
You would think I would just learn not to pet him bu the fluffy guy is too adorable! I cant help but pet him!
This isnt a new behavior. He has always been very tempurrmental (sorry I cant resist a pun!
) And actually he is getting better. I can hold him and pet for a little while now. He acts like he wants to be petted on, he will sit close to me and purr a little or sleep, but he just gets very angry very quickly. I've tried petting different spots on him and below the shoulder blades is a very Very VERY bad idea! The only time you can pet him until your hear is content is when you are straight out of the shower. He loves to be wet and loves to rub on wet hair. Like I said this cat is a freak.
I have read the thread about this and I've tried a lot on here. There are no warning signs. There is no tail twitching, no given amount of time to it, sometimes it can be a few minutes and then sometimes a few seconds.
And he doesnt chill out and release if you freeze, he digs in deeper to get a response I think. About the only thing that will make him release your hand is to grab his scruff (not hard just enough to let him know you have him) and he will let you go.
and the reason for the tittle, he usually starts licking on your arm or hand when you are petting. And then the teeth come...
Any suggestions as to how to make him a little calmer? I have some natural stress reliever that I add to their water daily, it doesnt seem to help...
this is a very rare picture. He was actually very calm and purring for this. You can also tell how beefy he is...
