I Have A Question???

Cheese does that, too and we call it "shooting blanks"!!! LOL!!

I have raed that although it looks like nothing comes out it is a bit like flatuence in a person as a scent does come out and Our Cats are satisfied that they have marked thier territory in a way that only they can sense.
Rocca did that all the time too and I bet still does that even as an Angel.

Vixen does this too and she is spayed. She never actually spays but goes through the motion. I think it is sooo cute and really funny. We call her our faker.

That's what I think - 'going thru the motions'. Even though they can't remember why it's done...

Interesting thread. My Storm also does this and nothing has ever come out. He was already neutered before I adopted him.

Thanks for all the advice! She does seem to do it more right when I come home from somewhere. Maybe she's marking me because of strange smells. She also rubs her face on mine every morning when I get out of the shower. She holds her little paw up to get my attention. I'll lean over, and she marks me. She's a funny girl!
