Devon Rex question

Steamed Mar 11, 2006 01:35 AM

Hi there! I have a 5 year old Devon Rex called 'Frog' and he has a couple of peculiar habits that I like to get some advice on.

1. He is mainly my wifes cat but he occassionaly comes and sits on my lap. Everytime he sits on my lap he cleans himself, i just find that interesting that he waits to sit on me before grooming himself.

2. He is very vocal, especially around him dinner time, but he doesn't stop bitching at me when he knows I'm feeding him, he still keeps harping on as loud as ever until the food is in his bowl. Even if I BAH him he still keeps vocally bitching at me.. is this a individual trait or a Devon Rex trait?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's a general cat trait for the food issue.
The cleaning one is strange.

Actually you should be very flattered that the cat trusts you enough to allow you to be his "grooming" area. Although it is strange to us humans, this is a mark of great acceptance!

The food issue is also one of trust. He's just talking to you as you feed him - sort of a social thing more than a demand.

You are indeed loved by this Rex - but he is just showing it in his feline way.
