I think your neighbor must think you have a dog. I have seen that too. It always puzzles me. What part of "this makes the cat leave" does she not understand? Hi Buffy!

I think your neighbor must think you have a dog.

I have seen that too. It always puzzles me. What part of “this makes the cat leave” does she not understand?

My present one is 16 yrs. old. Others of my cats have lived into their 20's. If I should pass away before my kitty, I want her to have a good home. She is much loved and tenderly treated. My neighbor says she would love to have her. She is a fine person, but I am apalled at the way she pets my kitty. She places her hand on her head so hard that she flattens her ears and pushes her head into her neck. She does this forcefully and repeatedly. My kitty just goes elsewhere. She believes this is the proper way to pet a cat. I think it is rough. I pet gently and tenderly. What is your opinion? Buffy Hi Cat Expert,

I am 77 yrs. old and have had cats all my live. My present one is 16 yrs. old. Others of my cats have lived into their
20′s.

If I should pass away before my kitty, I want her to have a good home. She is much loved and tenderly treated.

My neighbor says she would love to have her. She is a fine
person, but I am apalled at the way she pets my kitty. She
places her hand on her head so hard that she flattens her ears and pushes her head into her neck. She does this forcefully and repeatedly. My kitty just goes elsewhere.

She believes this is the proper way to pet a cat. I think it
is rough. I pet gently and tenderly. What is your opinion?

Buffy

Without hurting anyone's feelings. Those new to this move: make sure it is a gentle one. Blowing into a cat's face, for instance, is seen as threatening. Nice way to use cat language!
