Cyber Chook Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 We adopted our 3 year old cat a fortnight ago. Look at that tummy! I've finally persuaded my daughter to put these pics on for me, and I'll ask her to help me get an album sorted out next. She should really be studying for her looming A Levels, so it's easy at the moment to take advantage and distract her with my requests for help (bad mummy ) Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Chook Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Makes me want to tickle that tum!! Beams with pride Thank you for all the compliments. She IS very beautiful, as well as being brave and clever, of course. I know, Groovy Chook, me too! Fortunately, the toffee tummy is presented to us for tickling several times a day. It should be available on the NHS. All we know about her is that she was found as a stray near an industrial estate in North London, together with a kitten the rescue centre named Dolly. Dolly was adopted quite quickly, but our little miss was there for a year before we came along. I wish she could tell me more Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 She is lovely You say that she presents the tummy for tickling and that this should be precribable on the NHS if my tabby presents her tummy and you are tempted you would need NHS treatment, she is a teasing little minx We call Ziggy's tummy the royal pjamas they are only to be touched when invited with extreme caution.

WitchHazel Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 chickencam, you just reminded me... ..when cats roll over and show their tummies, they are showing submission - it's not necessarily an invitation to tickle. (the tickling is a dog thing, although some cats tolerate/like it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm in a dopey mood as I didn't realise that the photos of your lovely puddy were on your signature She looks absolutely gorgeous and just like my lovely Sophie. I'm going to get my hubby to help me put the cats photos on my signature. I don't like them to be left out. Then of course I'll have to put the girls on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Chook Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 if my tabby presents her tummy and you are tempted you would need NHS treatment That really made me hoot, and the 'royal pyjamas', I love it. She's so gentle, and she's most definitely presenting the tummy for tickles - she rolls nearer and nearer to us if we don't respond quickly enough to the hints. When she's had enough (which isn't often), we get a soft paw placed on our hands very gently. I know what you mean about tempting you in - some cats'll suddenly grab on to your poor innocent, unsuspecting hand and arm and give 'em a right old going over Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Chook Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 stripey on top and spotty on the tum! P.S. I didn't know all tabbies were like that - I thought it was just that ours was outstandingly beautiful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know all tabbies were like that - I thought it was just that ours was outstandingly beautiful!! We have a ginger tabby and we say he is tiger on top and leopard on his tummy Not sure if all tabbies are like that, but all the ones I know have been.

Cyber Chook Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm ever so slightly besotted with her, I do apologise (as you all stifle polite yawns), but I must point out that in the first picture, she's stroking her own face with her paws. She does that when she rolls over for tummy tickles. She wants us to do it really, but if we don't or we're busy with the tummy area, she does it for herself. Oh gosh I can't believe we still can't find a name for her!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
