Weird scratching reaction

michfrochick Dec 07, 2004 05:54 PM

Hey there,
My husband and I have a tabby named Tigger. He's 7 years old. He's full of bizzare cat behavior. I'm curious to know though if anyone has experienced this particular behavior in their cat. We just recently discovered this. My husband started scratching Tigger on his back at the base of his tail. Tiggers eyes got huge, ears went flat, he put his head up and moved it back and forth. He started purring and licking and biting anything you'd put in front of him as the scratching was happening. It just looked so funny.

Oh yesssss... the base of the tail is extremely sesitive and when you scracth a cat there almost any reaction can happen! It's rather, er, sexual in nature, even in spayed/neutered cats.
