Higgins Sits on my Stuff

Higgins Moving Towards my Stuff
Being around cats a lot, I’ve noticed they have funny ways of showing they like you. For instance, Higgins and Miggins often will put their front paws on my hand or arm. My neighbour says it’s their way of showing ownership. It also feels nice except when they get carried away and literally get their claws into me. When this first happened to me, I acted purely on instinct; I pulled my arm swiftly from them and ended up with scratches on it. My neighbour taught me to instead say, “Gentle” and to slowly lift the paw and take it off my arm. “They think you’re another cat who doesn’t feel their claws,” explained my neighbour.


This knowledge came especially handy when I was playing with one of my friend’s Tonkinese cats. The Tonk lay on his back and let me pat his belly but a few moments later, he bit my hand. At the same time, all four of his paws were on my arm, his nails digging into me. I said, “Gentle’ and proceeded to slowly remove those paws. Once the paws were out of the way, I could then withdraw my hand from his mouth. I ended up with no scratches on me, although I did have a small bite mark on one of my knuckles.

Another funny thing Higgins likes to do is to sit on anything that belongs to me. Often he’ll sit on paper I’ve been writing on, my cardigan or my credit card case. He does this to my neighbour’s belongings too. Often she will be searching everywhere for her glasses only to find them right under Higgins’ bum.
