Okay, since you asked politely, here is Stretch.
That made me laugh! My brother loves this video and loves to quote it to me all the time. "Did Charlie show you his bumhole today?" He thinks it's hilarious. I never knew til Finn moved in how much of a thing that was. Charlie is such a genteel cat - no counter surfing, no escape attempts, and no bum in my face. Nope, Finn is loud and proud with his tail all up in my grill at every opportunity!Oh yes! Lovely!
Kitties are always jumping in my lap, only to turn their bums to my face so I get a clear view of the tail.
Cute little girl all proper in her sweet dress is probably a bit put off! They do show us! I hope someone makes sure to show her the other end soon. Maybe a very fluffy kitty would be the one for her.That made me laugh! My brother loves this video and loves to quote it to me all the time. "Did Charlie show you his bumhole today?"

Love, love, love the above pic.Hmmmm. Look at the expression here. Definitely an indicator of building excitement.
This picture - those spots!! That tummy! I cannot resist a kitteh belly! Bury my face every time. I just saw a video about how cats don't like kisses - is this true??? I kiss Charlie every time, and now that I think of it, I don't think he likes it - he always protests. But really, it's their fault for being so darn cute. How can we be expected not to kiss that cuteness? Kitty bellies are kryptonite.
I need to remind myself to imitate mama behavior more. Of course, I've never seen a mom cat interact with her kittens, but I'm learning a lot right here!Buffster7 well.... debatable. Head butts are like kitties kisses. I have some kitties that love kiss and neck snuggles. Especially Whistle. He is all , kiss me, kiss me, kiss me. Banjo has to make the advance herself. Lol Sassy girl! Two things maybe, the individual cat and how their human starts them off with kisses. If I have a new kitty I kind of imitate the movement of a mom cat. I stroke the face of the kitty with my face/ chin once I know they feel okay about the closeness. This kind of replicates how a mom would wash a kitten face. Somehow I just never have a desire to actually do what moms do. No fur tongues please!
Wanda Heart wants me to rub my chin across her ears and jaw. I think they also recognize this as scent swapping.
My big boy Mackie returns kisses with love nips.
Loving the buttons on Wanda Heart's shirt front -- she's growing by leaps and bounds, isn't she? And all that interactive play is hopefully helping her appetite to stay strong.N NY cat man I’m glad she found me too. She has improved so much since I found her. When I first saw her she was covered in scratches, thin and hungry. I hope her days will all be happy ones now.She had had a lot of fun last night.
rubysmama Lol She was watching the wand toy. She loves that toy. I put the triple ring toy in there today. The vet wants her to have her shots before being let loose. She has dashed out one room and run into Calley,Alley, Liberty and Tortie. Calley sniffed her and was pretty calm. Alley hissed, Liberty ran and Tortie just wanted me to pet her and ignore Wanda Heart. After a few minutes of being under the bed, Wanda Heart dashed back into her own room. It’s more a matter now of keeping her ell and not exposing her to water dishes, litter boxes, food dishes etc. of BJ. I’m not convinced that is a huge risk but would never take any chances. I can shut him away, mop, remove all dishes and boxes to have her out with me though. She is young so more susceptible to any exposures.
W walli I think so too. She is starting to show her personality now instead of being scared. Watching her having so much fun kept me laughing. Her expressions are so precious. All the photos of her make me smile but laying on her back for tummy rubs get me. The one where she held her paws up and kept them there.... More tummy rubs!
A favorite thing of mine is to advance on Elvis when he's lying down and do raspberries on his kittehbelleh. He usually switches his tail and charges away from me indignantly. *How DARE you, lowly hooman!?!*Buffster7 well.... debatable. Head butts are like kitties kisses.

YES!! And then I tell myself lies like, "He really loves it when you do that, he just has to act annoyed to save his dignity"..A favorite thing of mine is to advance on Elvis when he's lying down and do raspberries on his kittehbelleh.

There's a reason for that, you know. It's a bit like dogs sniffing, but with cats, they don't sniff or allow sniffing with just anyone. Bum sniffing allows the sniffer to learn all about the sniffee's health, general state of mind, and mating status. For a CAT to present their butt to you means that they consider you someone with the right to know these things, a friend, or family member. It isn't done with just everyone, like dogs do.Kitties are always jumping in my lap, only to turn their bums to my face so I get a clear view of the tail.
That does my heart good. A quote from my father, "If you want to hold the moon in your hands, you have to reach for the stars."Wanda Heart is all kitten now. Reaching for the stars....
