When petting your cat...

You need to know how much you can bug them... else you will be getting a sore thumb.

Mine loves getting pet, will even show you as much with the amount of purring he does, and his walking back and forth to your hand to show you exactly where he wants to be pet. Until he has had enough. And then he will let you know that too, and exactly where he wants you to stop!!

If you experiment, you can create perpetual motion!

It depends on the cat, since some are more domesticated than others, but mine's a feral, in fact I've always had feral cats of some order, so this method has proven to work. You have to understand that they are basically wild animals and have you around for convenience more than anything. Aside from food, shelter, and warmth, they need grooming. Since they are independent, they only want you to groom what they can't adequately groom themselves. Those areas are the neck, most of the face, and especially the ears. I'll grab mine rather forcefully by the face with one hand and inspect the ears with the other.

If you want to get the cat to be mad at you, start petting the areas that he can groom by himself: the feet. Mine will instantly respond with claws out.

My molly has a lot of murder buttons. When the ears go back....watch out. She tried attacked my face one night. Good thing there was a pillow close by.
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~

Mine will bite and scratch my arms but never my face. Somehow he knows where the line is on that.

Mine is a feral that I got from a shelter as a six week old kitten.
I have given a lot of blood to him!
He still has a lot of wild in him, but too damn cute to get mad at.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

can't trust them, don't need them
It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
