I had 8 and adopted 5 out. My cats are 2 years old and have never been hissed at or growled at! The only thing that happens is if I don’t have their blanket out on their bed they will keep licking me and head butting me till I do it! My smallest cat tuck will nibble on my elbow if I change sleeping positions and don’t have my arm out so that he can snuggle in it lol. I have only been scratched 1 time and that was bc tuck was sleeping in my arms while I was sleeping and had a nightmare and tagged me by accident but we both were tired so we both went back to sleep in the exact position! Lol lol I never was a cat person but lord I love my boys and girl Dr. Johnson M.D. (a true doctorate)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14433335258251264901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808028682738922893.post-63645497888427839832018-12-07T08:02:26.042-08:002018-12-07T08:02:26.042-08:00Let this year bring new joy and fun to your Greeti...Let this year bring new joy and fun to your Greetings for you at <a href="https://www.newyearsdayrocks.com/category/new-year-love-messages/" rel="nofollow">Lovely New year Messages</a>.Eewanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02629395531954561976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808028682738922893.post-72853055843839930632018-03-06T19:16:51.998-08:002018-03-06T19:16:51.998-08:00I adopted a female cat yesterday she is 8 yrs old ...I adopted a female cat yesterday she is 8 yrs old and everyone was looking past her...shes shy and skittish but finds comfort in me but runs from everyone..

We used to mistakenly believe that the problem would go away and even considered giving our cat away in frustration. Other people told us to scream and shout at our furry friend, but this was never an option since it would just make him more anxious and confused. We knew there had to be a better way. We searched all over until we found a simple way to have a happy, contented and loving cat and dramatically reduce our stress levels. I could go on and on, but you would do well to check out this article, which has also been a great help to us and explains how to get the same results (and even better) that we are getting:<br />http://www.bestquicktips.com/catspraying<br />Hope it helps anyone reading this!Brian Woodshttp://www.bestquicktips.com/catsprayingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808028682738922893.post-15885484723934142982016-05-04T10:25:30.423-07:002016-05-04T10:25:30.423-07:00Our cat, Earl does this when he is excited or happ...Our cat, Earl does this when he is excited or happy (in addition to talking our ears off!). Sometimes he even marches his back paws up and down while quivering his tail. Honestly, it's one of my favorite behaviors that he exhibits :) He has never sprayed and I've never seen another cat do this unless they were about to spray.

She quivers the whole of her back near the tail and the tail itself and purrs really loadly at the same time.

I thought it was an unusual thing to see Tigger do it when he was happy/excited...but now that Sky does it, I think it's almost normal. The only difference between Sky and Tigger is that Sky tenses up her back legs at the same time and shakes the one at a time like a dog.

I've seen my two female cats do this (base of the tail) around food but the new male does it all the time! I just google cat tail shimmy and came up with your blog. Glad to confirm that it means he's happy! He vibrates his tail whenever I invite him over for a pet - ahhh love!!! So glad he is happy and comfortable being a (now pudgy) housecat. While my other cats don't yet want to play with him (they are too dignified) he has a much better life now than on the streets.eVeShaktihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904709252238538218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808028682738922893.post-38754272549068567002011-03-31T11:15:18.326-07:002011-03-31T11:15:18.326-07:00Our cat does this too!

Whenever he comes in, he goes straight to this chair, backs up to it and vibrates his tail. It's so funny, almost like a rite! He is a VERY happy cat. We still don't know his story, but he was a stray that we adopted. He was homeless for at least 3 years and he was neutered, so we know he was previously owned and someone dumped him. He is an orange Maine Coon (gorgeous!), about 17 pounds and the biggest teddy bear you'll ever meet! He's a VERY happy kitty and it's good to see he's not the only kitty that does the vibrating tail! :)Kristennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808028682738922893.post-84376663393504314872011-03-06T05:51:45.454-08:002011-03-06T05:51:45.454-08:00Hello my cat is a grey tiger .He vibrates his whol...Hello my cat is a grey tiger .He vibrates his whole tail every time he see's me.
