Why do cats get orgasmic

Our cat does the padding thing on your lap. She also frequently wants a lap just after you've had a big meal :p ;)

I find it interesting that cats have so many attributes in them from when they were kittens, since the time spent with thier mum's is very brief. We were lucky enough to see our cat have and raise kittens (many years ago, we don't really know where she's from and didn't realise she hadn't been neutered). I was a bit young to remember it much but they were ace. After a while she let us get near them (she barely trusted us at the time, like I say we don't know what had happened to her before we found her). They are so curious and I remember them climbing up peoples legs and walking behind the washing machine :D .

I haven't heard of the double blink thing. Our cat often looks at me with half closed eyes though and I do it back to her. A full stare is a threat as most people know and it can make for much amusement. Generally visitors who like cats will look at them a lot and then they feel threatened; but people who don't like cats avoid looking at them and so the cat feels safest near them. Ours once spent a whole evening sat near a visitor who really didn't like cats :p
 
Our old cat Spice now sadly died had a relationship with the plush stuffed hippo I bought the wife some years back, he used to hump it constantly and cry if he couldn't find it, remember sitting in the living room with my parents one evening and in came the cat humping his way across the room on top of this poor hippo, even got my mother smiling that one.
 
Anyone elses cats got a habit of headbutting you when they're really happy and being fussed? I'm not taking about rubbing their heads against your hands, I'm talking looking you in the eye, then whacking their head against your nose! Particularly annoying first thing in the morning when you're half asleep!

Rotty - Seriously good looking cat!
 
Ours will sometimes do it on your lap. She tries to press her nose against yours, like some kind of cat eskimo kiss I guess :D

re the touching noses, ours stalks you and creeps up slowly, when she thinks you aren't looking she runs full steam at you, touches noses and then runs off :D

Both mine are headbut kings! they'll look at you sweetly, purr, lean back, lower their heads, then launch themselves forward, top of their heads right on to the end of your nose. They've brought tears to my eyes more than once doing that.

The paw thing is called 'padding' , IIRC it reminds them of their mother or something like that and they're extremely happy when they're padding. My cat never does that. She rarely gets excited about anything. She's scared by the littlest thing, even though it's a quiet house and she's cared for like a child and given so much fuss.

get a fluffy fleece and let your cat stand on it.

If the cat decides to sit down, it's hella funny watching them. I'll try to get a vid of my cat doing it.

Also, when your cat is staring at you, look it in the eye, and slowly blink or wink. My cat copies my blinks and winks! :)
 
One of my cats pads on the duvet, it looks like she's trying to flatten it, so cute! The other one is only ever happy when he's lying on someone, and when he purrs, he licks and does the feet thing.

I'd never noticed cats having their tails right up when they want to be followed, but my girl cat meows her little head off anyway, so it's easy to tell with her :).
 
My girlfriends cat does all of this. But he drools like hell, its well annoying, big drool fangs come down from his mouth and looks horrid. other than that hes the best cat ive seen.

He loves me to bits. never leaves my side when im at her house.

here he is...

My cat LOVES sitting on random bits of crap. If you put a piece of paper on the floor she will make an effort to go and sit on it :p

Same. It's pretty impossible to do any sort of paperwork with her around as she just lies on it and purrs like mad.

Also, is it just my cat that has the most random 30 mintue outbursts of energy in which she goes absolutely MENTAL and just runs about and attacks things at random?

everything about cats behaviour goes back to those first few weeks when it was a new born with its mother, when you stroke a cat it reminds it of when its mother would groom it. when they do the clawing thing on a cushion they are attempting to nest on that spot, and if you want a cat to trust you, always look at it with your eyes only partially open. ;)

yep, great post. Now I know why cats go bananas when I stare them out!
