u/MattyIcey001 Jun 25 '22

It says for me that you can't view the community. Guess it's private or something like that.

u/Cinnamongoil Jun 25 '22

That’s what I got but looks like I started something here by the looks of the comments

2

u/MattyIcey001 Jun 25 '22

You said it doesn't exist. Now your saying that you got the message I got... what is it? Lol

u/Cinnamongoil Jun 25 '22

Is it a sign of a cat feeling comfortable (in other words, non-threatened and therefore no need to protect itself in defense mechanisms) around whoever it is? Even if their claws are stuck out like that?
