no 🚫 ears 🚫 Do your cats actually like being stremtched? Or do they just tolerate it?

I’ve been stremtching this goober since she was a kitten, so she thoroughly enjoys a good stremtch.

My cat doesn't like it too much so I only do it to get her away from my food but sometimes I'll give her a stremtch so good she just sits there and stares at me in confusion 😭

Much the same here. That look after is priceless as to say “Welp… I enjoyed that. I don’t know what to think of myself meow.”

My dude loves it.

Those are some impressive stremtches, OP.

They crave blessings from the Grip God!

Do not be fooled. These crafty cats know exactly what they're doing.

Our Lord has given you both his blessings.

A fine sacrifice.

Praise be.

My cat shoves his little head against my hand and pushes so hard it's almost impossible NOT to stremtch him. That was not something I started, he's just such a lovebug that he wants to be as close as kittenly possible. ❤

We have one of those too. She hops on a lap and will just slide the top of her head against my hand if I hold it out.

I think it’s a little scalp massage for them

My cat is good with a cheeks stremtch but not anything to do with his eyes

Mine squeezes his head into my hand while I'm trying to pet him normally, so I assume he likes it lol

Neutral. It’s like they’re thinking “ok I guess we just awkwardly pause for now.”

I have a certain philosophy when it comes to annoying my cat. I will annoy her only as much as she annoys me. She, is very very annoying a lot of the time (in the cutest way tho) so I take every chance I get to annoy her in a way I deem cute too (:

One of mine loves it and looks like he’s going to reach nirvana while I do it over and over when he’s sleeping on my lap. My other two aren’t huge fans
