I love to pet my cats paws...but, they usually feel differently. I play with the hair between Tenny's toes, and that is ok, but, when I go to touch his front paw, if I exert more than negative .000000002 ppi, he withdraws it. Allie will let me give her paw massages, and usually Dakky will to. I always grab my cats back paws as they walk away from me...and it becomes how far will they still 'walk' with me attached to them. Usually, they turn around and try to 'get' me. Tex will pretend he is going to bite me when I won't let go. I have, on occasion, held Tenny's paw...kinda like we are going steady
