Purra’s reaction to butt scratches

This cat has a weird reaction to butt scratches. She’ll start by sniffing the air, and then lick herself. (Sometimes she will bite my arm, but I didn’t get that in the video.) What kind of weird reactions does your cats react to? Let me know in the comments below. Music used: Super Mario Galaxy 2 Puzzle Plank from Boogie Heights.

[@chimmyschanga4441]

Usually all cats will react this way because they hold a lot of nerves in that area and a little scratch here and there can be nice for them because they can’t really scratch there themselves. But to much for too long can be over stimulating and sometimes painful

[@thedeadwookie25]

oh my god no

[@megatron8561]

I've had 10 cats and none of them ever reacted to that

[@Evangylo]

@@megatron8561 that's also true but it's really 50/50 some cats will react like this, some don't and will only react normally or sometimes try to bite you off.

[@starrynight669]

I had no idea :0

[@calculator4482]

That's their erogenous zones it's like foreplay to then😂

[@mennobults6464]

Tried this with my own cat. He turned around and slapped me. He is usually very friendly, but the message was clear, "keep off my butt"!

[@galaxiyamoon]

Same with me and my grandma's white male cat. He's ferial and he used to slap me a lot even when I tried to pet or kiss his head.

[@justaguy2023]

Lol i thought you gonna say "hello this is your daily dose of internet"

[@nabilasyraf2488]

YESSS ME TOOO

[@somemartian.4106]

Me too..bro

[@somemartian.4106]

Lol

[@hotaruishere2133]

THAT WAS SO SPOOKY LOL SAME!!! XDDD

[@laurab9562]

I've also read that being pet in general stimulates a "co grooming" response. So they basically feel strongly like they need to lick when they are being petting. Since there isn't another cat there, they lick themselves, or you, whatever is easily accessible.

[@TheChej]

That spot is hard to get to when they groom themselves. So it's a sweet spot for itchiness. You scratch that spot they go crazy.

[@reenablackburn3133]

It gives them cat orgasms lol, it has multiple nerve endings in that specific spot, just like our 😺’s

[@TheChej]

@@reenablackburn3133 lol. No, it doesn't.

[@TheChej]

@@reenablackburn3133 look at the cats behavior. Its licking its self, also known as grooming, while the person is scratching the base of the tail. The cat is associating that with grooming. Mating cats don't behave this way. Well, at least, this is what I believe it to be.

[@mkmllrc]

@@TheChej they are getting tickled its not that deep

[@TheChej]

@@mkmllrc lol, for me it actually is. I'm currently going for my degree in biology and zoology, so behaviors like these are fascinating! Also writing scientific notes on the Felis catus in hopes for a book publication in the future! So I cant help but to engage in discussion when it comes to feline behaviors 😂

[@renofumi28]

The fact she's trying to lick her self got me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ThePackersfan10]

Weird? Yes. Weird for a cat? No.

[@megatronn194]

I love that name Purra.

[@Kiiro404]

When he said "meow" i felt that.

[@beaurzaiz]

My Lala does exactly the same thing, plus she gets crosseyed, pulls really really strange faces and licks her left front paw... Purra is such a cute name... What a lovely little lady!!

[@EternalTheMandarinGoddess]

For anyone wondering, the music is Puzzle Plank Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy! What a banger, man.

[@tranhuuloc1412]

U sound like the "hello this is your daily dose of internet" guy. Like really

[@nunosoares2329]

Purra: Eff yeah! That's the spot right there 😀

[@naggar127]

My cat(a persian i think) is kinda similar. Whenever I scratch that particular part of her backside she always finds something to scratch the side of her cheek on, and she does so with great fervor

[@tomemk]

my cat do the same 🐱

[@MrSirHaku]

Explaination: the reason why the cat is licking the air is because it’s her way of saying that you’re really scratching an itchy part of their body. It’s like their way of expressing relief 😂 OOOOR, she just really loves having that part scratched and that her licking the air/self is because she doesn’t understand what’s happening and her head is filling in the gap and thus, causes her to lick nothing.

[@MrSirHaku]

In other words, she’s expressing gratitude to you for scratching an area that she can’t reach

[@kapilpatel4849]

Great choice of music & a beautiful kitty. 🤣🙏🏽😍

[@terrenceuba124]

that happens to almost every cat, it's their erogenous area after all

[@bluespectrum1348]

That's so funny xd cats usually do that because they get overstimulated

[@peepeepoopoo9170]

what a beautiful cat

[@morningfog532]

Great choice of music! Puzzle plank galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy 2. Such a playful, fun tune.

[@goodday2760]

Playful? Really surprising seeing as that's a video game.

[@VBenoodle]

Oh god he’s one of these guys

[@MuhammadSafdar-qe7rq]

Very nice kitten and very beautiful colour

[@irishkelly654]

Messi of I_am_puma fame, does the exact same thing! LOL. Cute cat!

[@ByakkoFox]

“I don’t know the cause of this” that’s the arousal spot for cats.

[@alancosta4760]

Exogenous zone

[@kaiko70]

Beautiful cat

[@robsingletary2383]

No need for all the talking....Just let the cat do its thing...

[@diyaukhan1668]

That happens during heat... Basically ur giving it weird pleasure without knowing

[@UserName-br5zu]

This guys voice though 😂😂 dude sounds like Marge Simpson

[@mdon5326]

it's like the cats g spot

[@medexamtoolsdotcom]

I've seen videos like this but I've never actually seen a cat react strangely to having their lower back scratched. The biggest reaction I've ever seen is that they raise their tail to show they like it, but they don't then act strangely or lose control of themselves or anything. My Elcy-Rin likes being scratched there, especially while she's eating, but she doesn't go nuts, she just likes it normally, she'll also raise her tail while she's eating if I pet her or scratch her anywhere else.

[@SavageRush012]

I see this too many times with cats. They start short-circuiting for some reason.

[@skyking5641]

It's almost like she doesn't know what to do

[@omgiloveutoo]

cats r the best

[@kemmypaws]

I fricking love cats >:3

[@visoroverwatch3247]

Nice Clean fluffy cat.

[@twikki9071]

Very fitting theme xD

[@marethyu4321]

This gonna blow up soon i can feel it

[@hotaruishere2133]

This guy reminds me of my old best friend before he became a bad guy and we had to stop being friends :( I hope this guy is still as friendly and down to earth as he is in this video.

[@kimy770]

My kitty hates butt scratches lol, she's a bit skittish

[@joea.9969]

I tried the kitty spanks, my cat didn’t like it but my friends cat loves it

[@kemmypaws]

Awww

[@davidsain2129]

Many cats react this way, or they extend their hind legs.

[@bavackyantho5485]

Purrhub

[@serbowdster2311]

My cat like everything but a butt scratch like this one, I even attempt it and he goes berserk. It’s definite no no for him.

[@karen99999]

The music is so Scottish

[@user2kffs]

Welcome to your daily dose of cat butt scratch

[@andremartinsferreira1699]

My cat would do the same thing :D

[@ramnramnramn]

The way you talk reminds of Terence Mckenna!

[@lee-daniels]

Not an expert, but that type of reaction to that area is not uncommon. My cats would react similarly. A friend had a cat that would start scratching his face every time you petted the hind quarters.

[@hottotty13]

Mine does the same, though it will bite its front legs too. My thought is it’s shooting sensation through their nerves and they’re trying to bite or lick it to stop it.

[@sacksojoe]

Much Purrience, here....

[@guitarzan2626]

I think they are ticklish there maybe.

[@robinclemmons7712]

The area at the base of the tail is an errogenous zone. It’s sexually stimulating.

[@parishiltonASMR]

This can become PAINFUL if u do it too long

[@faithnelson6069]

human is even funnier than the cat

[@felix920]

because when you hit a specific point on their back they feel like they just had sex . After that they immediately lick themselves.

[@CryBlueofZ]

Kitty

[@purplepapos1460]

She is so cute and silly goose xD What breed are they

[@yanafird2652]

i did butt scratches on my ragdoll and he was a bit sassy today

[@xvii-romaaa4825]

2021 :D

[@4Y4ZATA]

it `s a bug

[@ronalddonner3396]

Somehow the "vibe" you give off gives me the feeling the same thing happens when you scratch (and otherwise entertain)your butt!😉

[@blazebrogaming]

H U H ? ? 27K VIEWS????????????

[@antikoerper256]

The music LOL.. Cats are angels :3

[@bordo899]

Зачем этот ошейник она же дома

[@bavackyantho5485]

It’s their erogenous (erotic) zone. Watch some guy tried it on big cat, no responds

[@PhoenixIsGray]

I'm pretty that's not actually true
