Hi Kerry, As some of the others have already pointed out, it sounds like Tiger's behavior is a variation on the head-butt, a sign of affection and a way to feel comforted. The tongue sticking out of the mouth thing, I've seen this before too, not usually on a regular basis though, I've never

You can add the RR to the communal water dish. I'm pretty sure there's a place on that site that allows you to enter symptoms of distress and then lists recommendations, I could be thinking of another site though! For Tiger, there's also a flower essence, that was recommended for Gypsy, (St

Oops, I think the St. Johns wart was actually recommended for Grace when she was "in and out" of her body. I bet there's one that would be more specific for Tiger. N Nina wrote: You can add the RR to the communal water dish. I'm pretty sure there's a place on that site that allows you

We call those kissies. Tigger is my "kisser". He will rub down the sides ofmy face or chest with his head, but he also just plants his head against me at times too, and purrs. He's not in any pain, he's just being sweet. You see this motion more in dogs, where it's a sign of submission.
