We picked up Max from a animal sanctuary last week. He’s a lovely burnt cinnamon leopard marked boy, about 8 years, 7.1 kg and settling for in very well. He was at the cattery for around 3 to 4 months.
When you can’t find him, it’s upstairs and to the bedroom. There’s a lump in the bed and there he is asleep under the duvet.
He starting to have his mad half hour in the mornings, hurtling around, jumping on toys and body sliding across the carpet.
He’s also found the bathroom, demanding we turn on the sink tap so he can drink and also drinking in the shower with his head in the ‘rain’ then padding wet paw prints everywhere.
Lots of leg bunts, cuddles up on the settee or lap and very friendly.
He’s lovely.
I did think he was doing quite a bit of ‘personal grooming’ which was no big deal, but then realised it was a little more than that.
Back legs in the air, toes apart,front paws kneeding what ever he’s resting on, purring and with a certain part of his anatomy extended and in his mouth! This can go on for about 5 mins and short of completely rolling him over, no amount of pushing,shoving or tapping will make him stop. Happens maybe twice a day....
Not that i’m a prude but I’ve never had a cat that’s done this so obviously...is this a Bengal thing or have I just been unaware of it at all?
Could be a talking point...more tea vicar?!
