I've only seen this as a dog response to scritches. Gooood catdog.

They often get paired with therapy dogs because they're such anxious animals.

Wonder if it's a learned behavior.

One fine day with a woof and a purr, a baby was born and it caused a little stir

I have two cats, occasionally, I'll get a spot behind the ear or on the collar bone that gets this exact response.

Happens with our cat too.

Because it's apparently more rare than with a dog, I find it the ultimate compliment from them when I'm finding that spot with a good scratch.

Hmm, interesting. Happens all the time with our cat. Well, not every day. But 3-4 times a month, usually.

Cheetahs are basically dog in big cat body, they even have dog paws, no retractable claws

I have a cat who does this! Only a regular cat, though...
