It’s probably an instinct or a reflex. I’ve noticed my cats consistently start grooming themselves when I pet them and it’s as if they can’t help themselves if I keep doing it a certain way.
“Of course I get offended when I’m on my way to rest on my favorite blankie and the greasy primate decides to molest me with their greasy primate paws, which is why I make it a point to make them watch while I clean the defiled part of my body. But do they ever learn? NO!”
Imagine coming out of the shower and some pig brushes up against you. Nice.
Shower more, at least. Your disgusting human presence hurts the world, try not to make it so obvious.
That’s what tou get for not asking permission to touch first. Always squat, extend a hand, and let them sniff and approve first! Consent matters =_=
I love you, Doctor Zaius!
No, if my wife touches my hair I have to fix it. It feels wrong otherwise.
They’re doing the same thing.
This is actually the cat being interested and curious as to who touched them, not a sign of rejection. If a cat doesn’t want to get touched, you won’t touch it.
You might touch it, but likely only briefly and you might also regret it.
ofc not, they are just fixing their fur
On one hand, how dare you reject my love. On the other, well if you didn’t sometimes then you wouldn’t be a cat. See you 'round, gato
Hey it could be worse - if you touch me I get the shivers of disgust, very visibly. I still feel kinda sorry for that random person who accidentally slightly brushed my arm when they sat next to me in the train years ago
In all fairness she didn’t pass the initial sniff inspection followed by a surprise sniff inspection.
