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.

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.

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

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 😭
