RE: o/t2 x feline behavior Qs

Title: Message

Thanks--all feedback welcome!   I should maybe clarify here---Tiger came to me as an young adult street cat. I have no knowledge of his early history. It seems highly probable he was abandoned too young, and survived on the street.   But interesting that you know all about the forehead-pressing. I much prefer (obviously) your conclusion to Anitra F's.   Now I think of it, tho, I've also observed Pookie (my frail, 5-lb foster) positioning himself in his catbed with his forehead pressed against the side of it. Because he's not a well cat, I assumed again that it was pain that was causing this forehead-pressing behavior.   Neither of my 2 other FeLV negatives, who are also healthy in every other respect, have ever done this. Only the two with health problems--one physical, the other emotional--do the forehead thing.   Kerry     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of carrie chance Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2005 9:48 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: o/t2 x feline behavior Qs hummm, not to interupt, but I Bottlefeed babies,  anyways most bottle babies do this regardless, as it is a sign of affection towards their MOM, who was a human, and not a mom cat. So maybe if your baby was weened to early, you are getting the same result..... Therefore I would have to say it is his way of giving you affection I have SEVERAL that actually give me hugs, and beleive me they are hugs, and darn things wont let go either. The tounge thing, thats kind of funny maybe his tougne is to long,,,,,,8-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2005 9:41 AM Subject: RE: o/t2 x feline behavior Qs Pressing head against chest…  The person who told me that is one who has one cat who does this the minute your pick him up—vet told her about too early weaning…   Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MacKenzie, Kerry N.

Does anyone know if there's anything to worry about when a cat has a habit of   a) pressing its forehead against your chest (Tiger, my obsessive compulsive disorder/kitty Prozac cat)   OR (different cat)   b) poking its tongue out and leaving it in that position for several minutes. (Pookie, my CRF foster)   (re: a)Anitra Frasier's book states that a cat that presses its forehead against an object is in pain.)   Thanks for any feedback anyone may have.   Kerry       =00 IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE.
