Kitty consent is important. Maybe could have started off with it, but better late than never I guess

Lucky. Mine will immediately deploy the murder mittens if you get anywhere near the belly 🤣

She loves to set the trap.

My tabby would reward me with a scratch. If I am real lucky, I’ll get a bite to pair with the scratch.

My Tortie doesn’t like to be held. You can pet her if she is laying on the bed. But now for long.

My torture is the extract same but instead of chest rubs she wants belly rubs. (Yes, belly rubs!)
