Awwwww...
*sniff*
Forgive yourself, for that!
Look at it this way- if he had NOT loved you, he would not have purred at all!
Tigermaus is not much of a cuddler.
He has never jumped into my lap to be petted, but he does show affection more often, now that I am retired.
When I got home from the pharmacy tonight, he got up and came to me, wrapped his tail around my legs and purred really loud. He then went back to the recliner.
LOL
He likes to sleep at the top of my head, and sometimes will reach out on put his paw(s) on my forehead,
He will also lay alongside me for cuddles and ear scratches
and likes to be scratched under his chin.
Then he will either give a “soft” bite when he has had enough, or he will abruptly get up and leave!
He’s a weird kitty!
He won’t touch “people food”, although he like sharp cheese!
(I only give him little bits of that)
Rusty, was your Maine Coon Cat like that?
Tigermaus sounds a little like sable. A bit independent and knows exactly how much they will put up with.
I guess that’s the adventure of having cats, they never do exactly what we want them to do. I just have to live my life around her. The dog however is a different story.
And you’re right, thank you for your kind words about corduroy. He was such a sweet little baby I don’t think he ever knew that I didn’t know that he loved me. Actually he loved everybody, he had visitors from the neighborhood when we were in california. There were two kids that came over to pet him all the time. And when a friend in the neighborhood moved, he said he was going to miss corduroy. Not us! He would drop by occasionally and Roy would sit on the arm of the chair he was in. He always liked to sit on big fluffy arms so we looked for furniture with them.

We had a white cat called Sonny. He would gently grab your chin it his mouth, sharp teeth and all. So you had to be careful not to move. Anyway one day he wandered over to our neighbors and I heard the lady say kitty kitty, then after a few moment I heard a loud scream and then saw Sonny bolting away from the house.
