You just know your cat trusts you when you can go to sleep with her
tail in
your hand Or when she wraps her tail around your wrist and you
just nod
off to sleep (hearing purrs the whole while).. It's love!

Jill --loves Persia... and Persia loves Jill

The tail is not a big deal for Cali, the tummy is another matter. If
she's really relaxed, I can put my hand between her back legs and
rest my palm on her tummy or chest. True nirvana is giving her a
reverse chin scritch with my fingers, while keeping my hand on her
chest. This is always worth a few extra decibels from the Purr motor.
If she's not relaxed, I'll get a bunny kickin.

You do not! want to be on the end of a bunny kick from Persia! I was
wounded... should have gotten a purple heart. Dang, that hurt. And I was
asleep, wasn't thinking... let my hand fall down on her oh so soft belly and
dammit! I was wounded! I still have the danged scars.

I periodically wake up with "inexplicable" shin, calf and ankle wounds.
Oddly, (or not) that's the general region where Ketzl sleeps.

Still, he's getting better about the tail thing. He's even begun to like
having it brushed. Now I need to work on brushing his belly without getting
the bunny kicks.

Speaking of kicks, sometimes when we play "string" the string (a ribbon,
actually; he doesn't know the difference) gets wound around him a few times
and after a brief pause while he contemplates the situation he sets off in
this series of running mule-kicks to try to dislodge the string. It's
hilarious. Whatta guy.
