How Does Your Animal Show Affection?
My cat, Tater, is an odd duck. He doesn't want to sit on my lap unless I'm on the couch with the recliner up. Nowhere else. He will however, sit in the chair next to mine at the kitchen table and present
himself - complete with head butts and paw whacks - for a thorough rub down. If I take a nap stretched out on the couch he will come snooze on my belly. That's why I stay overweight, so he has a soft cushy pillow to sleep on. :rolleyes:
Charlie, my older rescue, does the nose flip thing. There's nothing like a cold wet nose in your armpit to get your attention. She is about the happiest dog on the planet. Deaf as a stump but still having a good time. It's kitten-sniffing time!
Then there is the new dog, Dixie. She is a Great Pyrenees rescue. When she wants attention she will wander over and sit there, giving you the "look". Once you start giving her the rub down, if you stop she will reach out with a paw to remind you she's still there, and could use more rubs.
