In which I amuse you with cat stories
Mingo likes to suck his thumb.
Or would, had he a thumb. (I have no thumb and I must suck.)
Instead, he sucks his paw. He sucks his whole. gorram. paw. slurp…slurp…slurp.
He does this when he’s content. So if you pet him, and you’re all nice and cuddly and yum the cat he warmeth the lap, all of a sudden…slurp…slurp…slurp. Fuckin ew.
I’ve tried to stop him. I’ve put my hand between paw and slurpyface. He persists. He will either prevail, or depart the lap, or (heaven forbid!) suck something else. I fear this last. ‘tother night he started sucking a pearl on my beaded sweater. Suck the paw, fertheluvagawd!
He is, I should tell you, transfixed. Rapt. His eyes get squinty, and I’ve noticed that there’s a pause. A paw pause. He holds the paw up in front of him, and he squints, and slooooowly he approaches the paw, and then slurp…slurp…slurp. Leading me to believe there’s a profound sensuality to the experience, one so deep that he teases and prolongs it. Which is, y’know, a little gross.
slurp…slurp…slurp.
That’s just…
weird.
If he keeps it up he’s gonna need braces…
Is Mingo the one who broke the doorknob?
š
Could be worse.
Could be licking like my dogs lick……..
Arthur broke the doorknob. Isaac said he didn’t want to “make an asthetic decision” about my house, but if I buy a doorknob he’ll teach Arthur how to install it.
Meanwhile I’m too sick to go to Home Depot. Very. Sick.
Cathyāthat’s FUNNY.
Sorry to hear it. Hope you feel better soon!
I have to get a pic next time Lucy starts sucking on her blanket.
She grabs this little bit in her mouth, and starts making bread & purring her head off & gets this blissed out dopey look..Now SHE has thumbs. 13 toes up front alone. She doesn’t suck them at all tho…
Lucy’s a special girl.
I’ve seen cats suck on things before; blankets, skin (ick). But Mingo is the first I’ve seen sucking his own paws.
