That made me smile, Cindercat!My sciatica was acting up again this evening so I pulled out my percussion massager to use on it. As soon as I turned it on, Simon, my cat, came running. He jumped on the bed & nudged it with his head trying to get between it & me. He licked my arm & meowed until I put it on the low setting & let him rub his face and sides against it. He seemed quite happy when he finished. I got lots of kisses. (He rubs his head against my face so I can kiss the top of his head.)
Our little dog Joie runs from the vacuum cleaner but Violet sits there right in your way until you put the upholstery nozzle on and rub her back and sides with it. She sits there with this pathetic "oooh that feels so good look and her tongue hanging out!
