"special" Lizzie

[sirrahbed]

I loved the thread that Jazzcat started about our special, quirky kitties

Robbie and Lizzie still like to "suckle" on the edge of their fleece bed before they sleep - what Lizzie does is suckle for awhile and then she picks her head up and "suckles" the air!! Her eyes are open but not really focusing and she does this for quite awhile. We don't know exactly what she is doing...but think it makes her even more unique and special.

Our silly, beautiful girl, Lizzie.....

Oh Lizzie, you are so beautiful and oh so special!!!

THOSE EYES! (THUNK...hits the floor!) I couldn't imagine having those wonderful, beautiful eyes of hers to look at every day, much less the cute was she suckles to go to sleep. I am so glad you kept Lizzy and Robbie in our PT family.. I would have hated having to miss seeing them grwo up.

These pictures are darling, and reminded me of something cats do, called "flemming" - using their Jakobsen's organ, or "vomer-nasal organ," located behind their upper front teeth - a little button of a thing you can see if your cat lets you have a peek. Most vertebrates have this extra sense, which we humans don't have - but if you have noticed your cat looking a bit like she/he is about to sneeze, and looking abstracted, while investigating an interesting animal or sometimes human scent, the cat is probably flemming.

OH MY GOSH, Debbie ... that is SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!
I do know what the flemming thing is, but it's not usually with this little tongue curl thing going on ... I think you are right, this is a left-over suckle!!! I LOVE YOU LITTLE LIZZIE!!!

Mr Scrappy used to lie on My Chest,and suck on my PJS,and make bread on my Chest,with his Little Paws,to show me how much he loved me.
I would have to move him off so I could get to sleep,or use the Bathroom.
It could be a pain,at times,but I would give just about anything to have my Big Tuxedo back again showing me,how much he loves me.
I will have to wait,until that One Fine Day.

Like Gary, I had a HUGE tabby, Ashley, that was a chest sleeper. We had a routine, I would be in bed reading, Ashley would head butt the book closed three times. After the third time, I would put the book aside and get under the covers. Ashley would get on my chest, purr up a storm and we both would fall asleep. Ashley died 12/18/99 from liver cancer. I miss my sweet moosey boy with his beautiful green eyes!!! Sandra

Lizzie is a gorgeous girl, and that suckling thing is just too cute! I wonder if she'll continue to do that for her entire life?
