Signature Move

Cats each seem to have something they do that makes them unique. We call that move their Signature Move. Sneaky Pete has his green minibinky that he carries around. He likes to butt heads like a Siberian Linx cat. At night he likes to sleep in what we call The Pete Trough. Hubby wads a blanket along his left side so there is a trough next to him. The cat sleep in the trough. Dobbie always has legs hanging off whatever he is resting on. He was around before the cattery when we used to keep the cats out at night. When we would call them in the morning Dobbie was always first in at a dead run. He ran all the way through the house, leaped on the bed where he would talk and chortle as if telling you everything he did all night long. When Padme drinks water she puts her shoulder on the deck and sticks her arm straight out and waves her arm back and forth as if she is pushing water toward her. We started telling her she was cute when she did that. Now if you say 'Cute Girl' to her she will get in the position. Bear used to give Bear Hugs. He would lay on top of you and wrap his front legs around your chest, then place his chin flat and stare at you. Newts' signature move was not human directed. She loved being a mom. Her favorite thing was to put a paw over a kittens shoulder to hold it down and give its' face the rougest grooming. Elvis slept in what we called The Prayer Position. She would lay with chin curled under so the top of her head was on the pillow.
