I thought this was something only dogs did…apparently, I was mistaken. Tiger, our stray tomcat we took in two months ago decided to come up and sit on my lap for some attention. He stayed for a bit and was purring away, nice and content. He started to groom himself and then suddenly sat up and scooted down my shirt towards my pants. Now when I say scooted, I am talking about how dogs sit on the carpet, and while pulling themselves forward with their front paws, scoot their bottoms across your carpet as if to scratch some unreachable itch. Well, this is exactly what Tiger did on my shirt, leaving the inevitable skid mark. Not the affectionate gift I was looking for. Dumb cat!
