Yeah, Giles does that too. Today I let him nibble on my beard for a full 20 mins and he felt so satisfied by the end of it. I usually push him away after five mins because it feels weird and he gets my beard all wet and his kitty breath stinks. Well his breath doesn't stink anymore since I put him back on the original formula that I had him on before my vet told me to switch formulas because my cats are gaining weight and getting too fat. Screw you Mr. Vet, I prefer to have their teeth in excellent condition and their kitty breath not stinking.



aww such a cute kitty. I think kittens have an innate ability to use a litter box, well to scratch and cover up their poo. I've never had to really litter box train any of the cats/kittens that I've had.

Yeah, I agree that the younger they are, the more adaptive they seem to be (I'm sure this probably applies to most every species). I don't really think cats are "trainable," I mean to a small extent maybe, but mostly, they are who they are, and the human will either learn to accept that or get a different kitty. Sure, they are perfectly adept at adaptation, but they like to hang their hat on the notion that any changes in their behavior were "their choice" and not anyone else's. If they utilize the litter box, it's because they want to; ditto for when they **** all over your floor.

Yeah, I still wash my beard when he's done but like have you actually had a kitty **** all over your floor that wasn't like near the litter box?

I won't go into all the odd nuances of my relationship with the drifter tomcat (that came out wrong), but suffice it to say we have a standing alliance that as long as he controls the local rodent population (which he has taken care of VERY well), then I turn the other cheek to the fact that little bastard has ZERO respect for litter boxes.

At first I wasn't a fan, but she responds well to it and made it clear that that's her preferred first name (of course, a cat must have three separate names... but that's a poem for a different time). It's grown on me :)
