We had a Ginger Tom when i was a lad. he was lovely and lived to a ripe old age. I was heart broken when he passed on. He did not like his back legs played with and if you played with his belly, he used to wrap his front legs around your wrist,as if to say, that`s enough mate. He was an adorable guy and I just loved him.

If I'm taking a pic,she'll come & join in,without me calling her name! Maybe in her last life she was a supermodel!!! Lol!! Irionically one of your cats is ginger...A ginger was my original pic,till I kept walking round awhile Finding the scared little Skinny Calico who I thought a kitten. But learned a small underfed & abused upon arrival Calico cat of 2/ yrs I said can I just hold her? Just the way she looked up at me... She clung to me like a wet blanket. Ahhh.

[@janeboulton4252]

What a beautiful cat you have. Reminds me very much of my late cat Thomas, my friend for 19 years. I now have Henry a very affectionate all black cat. He is a real lap cat and also sleeps next to me. As well as loving all the usual places to be rubbed he loves a paw massage and a tummy rub. He is a real softy and very laid back and easy going. I feel very lucky to have him in my life and he is a great source of comfort to me especially in times of stress.

When someone who doesnt know how to pet a cat they mostly pet the cat like a dog. Too harsh and messing their fur back and forth. Cats dont like that. Be gentle.

Stay away from the tummy? Sorry, no can do.

[@constanceanderson3974]

this is one of the most relaxing videos I enjoyed this peaceful thank you

[@sandramac60]

Very well done video, and absolutely true information. I couldn't have a cat until I left my mother's home, because she was so very allergic. When I adopted my first cat, I was actually nervous, thinking I didn't know how to pet a cat, and they react very differently than dogs. I followed my instincts, and I have been a devoted cat lover (and dogs!) for more than 50 years. Go slow, let the cat guide you as to his/her likes/dislikes. Other than that, this video provides perfect guidelines for gaining a cat's trust and love. Imust say that the tummy-rub instruction really depends on the specific cat: my most aggressive cat will let me rub his chest, but as soon as I approach his tummy, he looks me straight in the eye, as though to sa, "Why are you doing THAT?" If I just rub his chest and forearm pits, he settles right down, but if I approach the belly, again, I get THE LOOK and then he starts kicking my forearm and hand as though he was going to disembowel me. Lesson learned! Just like your human friends, cats will show you what they like and do not like. Pay attention, show them the same respect you want (just like your human friends) and they will bond with you, love you, and teach you as much about yourself as you will learn about them!

[@pyrrhanikos1816]

GALE IS SOOOO CUTE! He is so affectionate, unlike my cat!😜

[@TammyJRizzo]

MB vids: It's obvious to anyone who knows cats well that Gale just ADORES you! You certainly have encouraged a strong bond of trust and love between the two of you. I admire that very much. We have three cats at the moment. One of them, Amelia, a matronly lady of late-middle-age, does not enjoy having her tummy rubbed, though she will sometimes allow me a stroke or two, if I'm gentle enough. Of the other two, Sugar and Spice, youthful littermates slightly more than a year old, Spice is almost as much of a snugglebug as she was as a kitten, though not quite; she loves getting petted so much that she will LUNGE for the hand to meet and collect the petting that much sooner! She has a long, soft coat-still kitten-soft, in fact-which she enjoys having brushed ... for about three seconds. Her sister, Sugar, has a sleeker, more regal look about her, and isn't all that invested in getting petted. She'll come up to my chair and emit her little tone-deaf mrow, demanding loving NOW, please. She'll then rub her face all over my hand, and let me gently scratch her face, chin, head, and neck for several moments at a stretch, although if I ever let my hand stray down her spine to her fluffy white tail, she's done and walks away from me, once again aloof. However, when she's all curled up and relaxing into a nap, even the lightest stroke along her spine will get her to roll over to expose her belly, and you had better be settled in for the long haul then, because if you even think of stopping stroking and tickling her soft tummy fur, she will grab your hand and not let go! It has always amazed me, how different their personalities all are. I've never known two cats to act the same way, in all my life. I look at all the higher animals (sorry, crawly bugs and squirmy worms and the like) as people in their own right, whether they have hide or fur or feathers. Even fish scales-I've known a few fish tank residents who have shown obvious appreciation and enjoyment for their favorite foods or toys, and even shared a few videos of fish deliberately swimming between people's fingers, going back again and again for yet another caress of skin to fin. I'm convinced that even if it's not on a scale we humans can imagine, all living things have some kind of feelings, or other. We have to be more responsible in how we take care of and use our non-human people (and yes, I still eat meat and always will, in moderation).

[@shirleyrombough8173]

Tammy J Rizzo - What a wonderful description. I hope I encounter more of your contributions in the future.

[@TammyJRizzo]

@@shirleyrombough8173 Thank you! I don't often have much to add to the comments already posted, but when I do feel like I have some insight to share that hasn't been explored yet, I'll do my best to make my ideas clear. In the year-ish since I posted that comment, we seem to have been adopted over the past few weeks by a lean little grey lady, probably not yet a full year old. She started sneaking into the kitchen through the pet flap in the door, and noshing down on the kibble and water we keep out at all times. There were quite a few rousing catfights in the beginning, as neither Suger nor Spice were having this interloper coming in and stealing THEIR places! Our dog Puppy kept trying to chase this little grey lady out of the house, barking her head off. But the little grey cat kept coming in. We have started calling her Tabitha, and these days, she strolls right in and takes up residence by the food and water, eating her fill for a few hours, and collecting many settings in the process. She has obviously had a family and home before, as she was comfortable with us humans right off the bat, and was even comfortable with us putting a collar on her a few days ago, with her name and our number. The collar didn't last the night, though; either she got caught in something and snapped the collar off (thank God for easy-release cat collars!), or she DOES have a home where she sleeps at night, and they took off the collar. We'll see if the next collar disappears overnight. If it does, it's a fair guess she has another home, but if that's true, she's not eating there. She was just skin and bones when she first showed up! She's still too skinny, but she's improving.

[@shirleyrombough8173]

@@TammyJRizzo I hope your little gray lady keeps coming back and maybe taking up permanent residence with you and your babies. If she has another home it seems that she is not getting what she needs from them. So you put another collar on her? Good. You'll know more the next time she shows up. You know this, but are't these cat pictures just adorable? After watching Gale and his/her human I was motivated to find my own cat and pet him like he does for Gale. It was so sweet. He loved it.

This is a great video, by the way, my only point of contention is the belly aspect. True, most cats are uncomfortable with people touching that sensitive area but my kitty loves it. When she lies down, I get in there and rub her belly up and down rather vigorously and she lifts up one leg and starts purring. Simply put, some cats enjoy a good belly rub.
