Sweet Nothings

[catwhispers]

I so relate to the affection routines you all have, and how wonderful they feel and how much fun they are.

There's a different little routine I have with each of my babies that they love and I love doing.

Deja Vu --
I will start to scratch her back starting at her tail and up to her neck and sing, to the tune of "I Feel Pretty," "It's the cutie, Deja Booty, it's the cutie Deja Booty Patootie, It's the cutie, it's the cutie Deja Booty Patootie. See that pretty kitten in the mirror there, who can that attractive kitten be ...." and on with more silliness I won't torture you with, scratching her until the end of the song. She loves it and has that ecstacy look you all know well."

Little Big Man (who goes around the house trying to cover everything he can, even my dinner while I'm eating) --
When he lays next to me I'll start to pet him and say to him, "Hey handsome, Mr. Handsom, you are so very handsome, yes you is! You are the man of the house. You take care of all the wimmenfolk. You cover everything to protect us from the predators, and you does a very good job, cause I don't see no stinkiin' predators. Yes you does. You is a very good man of the house, and we is very lucky and proud to have you, yes we is." At which point he lifts his head up and smiles (he is one of those cats that does smile) and I say, "you is smiling. You is my smiley kitten, yes you is. Look at you, you is so proud of yourself! You should be!" He smiles even more. I swear, it seems like he really knows what I'm saying.

Rockybeans --
Strange, as always. I discovered she loved this one day when I was rough-housing with her a bit. She responded to it immediately and will actually come over and stick her butt in my face waiting for me to do this. I say, "This is the cutest tushie in the world. I'm gonna bite this little tushie. I'm gonna bite it off and have it with fava beans and a nice chianti." Then I have to nuzzle my face near her tail and do the slurpy thing that Hannibal Lecter does in "Silence of the Lambs." She loves it so much that if I do it to her belly when she lays on her back, it will actually put her to sleep. It just figures that the thing this cat would love the most would be a reference to a maniacal serial killer. Makes sense -- check out my avatar, you'll see why. That's my Rockybeans. Gotta love her. LOL


Snowflake --
She's my foster and hasn't gotten to the point of letting me phyically interact with her yet, so her "thing" hasn't evolved yet, but we're working on it.

I whisper sweet nothings into the ears of all three of my kitties. Rascal is always the one to respond the best by purring up a storm.

My neighbor has a Golden Retreiver named Rusty. He is magnificent and has huge ears. Every time I am at her home I whisper things into his ear and I get a huge wet kiss as thanks. I asked her if she ever whispered into his ears and she seemed surprised. She said no, but she thought that she should.

Yes Yes for sure.. Now all my babies dont like for me to do that.. But my Calitt & Taccoa just Loves for me to whisper sweet loving thinks in their ears..

[orangemm]

Oh thank God I'm not the only one who does things like this! I sing songs to my guys, talk baby talk to them, hug and kiss them, rub them all over, and call them lovey names.

When I come home from work I feed them immediately, sometimes even before I take off my coat. Hey, it makes them happy! And when they're happy, they purr, which makes me happy.

[Barbara]

Sure I do that.
And they seem to love it- I suppose they like my voice MUCH more when I'm whispering

I always sing to my cats.. whatever song happens to be in my head, will come out as a song about Tilly and Nutmeg. I change the words to encorporate them somehow. Nutmeg loves it when I sing, and follows me around and purrs

[Bengalz]

Evie and I share whispers all the time .... I tell her how wonderful and special she is and how she makes my life complete ... she returns the affection with sweet purrs and warm cuddles
