Nicky Trevorrow, Cats Protection’s behaviour manager doesn't know much about cats.

My cats let me know exactly what they want and when they want it...and they get it.;-)

Well, I make the pussy purr with the stroke of my hand
They know they gettin’ it from me
They know just where to go when they need their lovin’ man
They know I’m doin’ it for free

I give them cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever
They got a bad scratch fever
The cat scratch fever

Yeah, I just saw that posted, and then the new post to me sign went off. Was reading it to Mrs. RQSR, and we were both chuckling. We currently have 12 cats, and have had more than forty over the years we’ve been married. I think we know cats well enough to chuckle at this baloney.

One of my cats gets stressed with incorrect petting. My dear, sweet husband ends up with her on his lap often as he watches television. He’ll make the mistake of petting her over and over again in the same place because he is engrossed in a show.

She touches the incorrect petter with her teeth to give you a hint that she is gearing up to rip your hand off.

Well DUH, when cats want you to stop petting them, they go somewhere else.

My cat has a special table where I comb him…he INSISTS upon being combed, petted, stroked at least once a day or two or three or four times. When he’s had enough, he jumps down. DUH

Doesn’t take much. A .22LR usually gets it done.

Lots of experts that aren’t really experts.

Sounds more like childless, never-married, women who hate men telling families how to raise their children (i.e., never spank...just negotiate with your 2 year old).

They can all go to hell.

Both my boys purr audibly when they’re stroked...when they want to be stroked that is...otherwise they just get out of Dodge.

Yep, it was very high maintenance, lol. Here’s a compilation of that running gag, for those who won’t be offended:

Don’t pet your cat, it will learn to love you instead of big government.
