Tubby gets this same exact look - the eyes, the ears, the body language - when I give him "the claw." "The Claw" has been the sign of war ever since he was a kitten, and is one reason my arm was usually in shreds.

Sammy sweety, you are so adorable when you're looking for tummy rubs. I'm sure Tubby would be more than happy to come over and rub it for you. He doesn't like his tummy rubbed though, unless you want the same look as when you give him "the claw."

Great pics, Vermontcat! Thanks for letting us see both sides of Sammy girl, who is having a birthday soon! I'll have to get on Tubby about getting her a card.
