No, you may NOT touch me! |
I’m gonna take a poll: how many of you like your personal space invaded?
I’m gonna vote a resounding NO, especially when the invader is TW. She’s been getting all touchy-feely. Suddenly she thinks she can take liberties with me. She even picked me up the other day! None of this meets with my approval. She might have even touched me funny, I’m not sure.
All this to take a selfie of her grubby hands pawing my feline body.
Look, she’s getting her germans all over me! Won’t someone make it stop?
Well, I like being handled, although I know not every cat does! But I think it is fun to be worshipped that way. I mean, if we kitties were icky, humans wouldn't want to touch us, right?
ReplyDeleteTruffles loves to be petted and kissed, but HATES being picked up!
ReplyDeleteWell, *I* don't even allow THEM nearer than five feet. Evar.

She can come invade my purrsonal space, I'll even roll over for a belly rub.
ReplyDeletePurrsonal space is impawtant. We have our human trained that WE will let her know when it is ok to touch us. Yes, you never know where humans have had their grubby hands.
ReplyDeleteMOL!
Those humans think they can paw us any time CK. We feel your pain LOL. Have a marvellous Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
CK, it's because we smell so good! If we stank like woofies, they wouldn't come near!! I DO like to have my belleh rubbed, though. It makes me go a bit dopey. Better than nip ..... well, maybe not!
ReplyDeleteOh no, space invader! But I can understand why TW wants to paw you. You are so irresistible :-)
ReplyDeleteNone of my 15 mind me invading their space, but if another kitty gets to close- look out.
ReplyDeleteI don't like it either CK but I need seem to have much of a choice!
ReplyDeleteWe love being petted, loved ones on, head butts, scratches, etc. Yes, we are attention hos.
ReplyDeleteWell, I love my massages, demand them every morning, but that picking up thing? NO!!!!
ReplyDeleteCK there is a time for touches AND a time for NO touching!
ReplyDeleteWe all love to cuddle and be petted. And silly EK loves kisses on his head.
ReplyDelete"germans" MOL....you know you love it!

ReplyDeleteHugs, Sam
ck....noe iz rite...we haz even gone sew far as ta put a force feeld over de hole oh trout towne ta keep burdz a way ~~~~ ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable pictures. Don't you like someone scratching behind your ears? I think it's feels good.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I do like head scritches, and tummy rubs are even better.
ReplyDeletewell the hands DO have some redeeming qualities. Like scritches. At OUR convenience.
ReplyDeleteScritches are one thing, but picking up? No way, girlfriend! -Ashton
ReplyDeleteWhat is she thinking? Doesn't she know who she's dealing with??
ReplyDeleteAw, but I bet your so soft! I want to pet you too!!!
ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Darling, I can see in that very first picture the HATRED flashing from your eyes. . . or, wait, maybe that's really just a lvoing, come-hither look. But in the second picture, the Woman has clearly crossed a boundary, and I can see the agony of distress and you calmly and peacefully our your window . . . .oh wait, maybe not. But it is in that third photo we can truly understand and feel the great misery that gentle hand is lovingly inflicting upon your sweet little headfurs as the horror, um, I mean the ecstasy of scritches finds expression in your terrified, wait I mean sleepy and satisfied posture.
ReplyDeleteOh stop it already. My head's gonna 'splode and then no one will want to rest her sweet head on my tum.
Hmm. It may be time to open up a can of bitey, CK. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteI hope you were able to make it go away!
ReplyDeleteSo what happens when Sherpa just up and sits in my lap. Isn't that an invasion of MY personal space?
ReplyDeleteCK, you are so funny, you crack us up? You meant to say you didn't put the bitey on TW? Interesting...
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFULS pitcher of you CK! I'm afraid aI do allow invasion of my purrsonal space. I loves it.
ReplyDeletePut the bitey on her!
ReplyDeleteWell I am laying in Mom's lap now, I love being picked up and carried around, love to have my face stroked. Ralphie loves to have his face stroked and head scritched. He even lets Mom carry him around some and lies on her head at night. Sorry CK, we are a let down.
ReplyDeleteMarty
I love to be carried, but Pixie is like a wild monkey : she climbs on the human's shoulders and tries to escape ! She likes to be petted, but not hold ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteI miaow like the Lonestar Cat´s = She can come invade my purrsonal space, I'll even roll over for a belly rub :)
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Mom says that she is tired of all of us invading her personal space, especially when she is trying to sleep. We figure what is hers is ours even if it is just "space." probably how TW feels about your space. Ho, ho, ho, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
