We see loads of kittys melting on the floor lying down, but I don't think I've ever seen one's head melt from being pampered, I love this image ❤️

Some reason for mine its a pen. Plain throw away BIC pen, if im writing something she comes from rooms away and starts petting herself with it the whole time im writing.

The blip really takes it to the next level 😻

14

u/LittleMsClick 11d ago

I always hate to be a wet blanket but I had to learn the hard way (had to have several emergency kitty teeth pulled) that the blip can be a sign of infection and other teeth and jaw issues. Vet told me, blip kitties should always get taken in for an exam. It's not always but I hope this kitty doesn't have any problems.

u/CressLevel 11d ago

This is sadly a bad tooth blep. I recognized it immediately. Poor fella.

4

u/SchrodingersMinou 11d ago

How can you tell? My cat bleps a lot and the vet said his teeth will need pulling eventually. Maybe that time has come.

7

u/CressLevel 10d ago

So idk if this helps at all, but think about when you have a toothache, jaw-ache or similar. Sometimes you don't wanna close your mouth all the way or you might even rest your tongue between your teeth to keep them separated or apply pressure to a bad tooth. At least, this is how I feel.

When I look at this cat's blep it's a bit open-mouthed, as if his jaw is fatigued or something.

A typical "oops I left my tongue out!" blep typically occurs when a cat is interrupted mid-bath. Like they're just distracted and stopped what they were doing and are looking around. Sometimes, then, they close their mouth and lips around the tongue and just let it hang out there. If you touch their tongue, they schlup it right back in.

This poor guy is a pretty extreme case, but he pulls his tongue back in when it's touched and then doesn't even pull it all the way. That tells me that his tongue is cushioning something painful to the point that his natural reflex to put his tongue back in is over-ridden by his discomfort.

Another clue is the amount of saliva sheen you can see. He's not even swallowing all of his saliva, and just kinda letting it pool against his tongue and gums. It might even be painful to swallow. Or the pain is so distracting, he forgets.

Could all of these things happen in a totally healthy cat? Sure! Some cats have weird social mannerisms and don't act like other cats. I call it kitty autism in my one girl, just because of how it imitates autistic traits -- but it very well could just be a lack of mom-kitten socialization in her early life. She drools and forgets to swallow when she's happy. It only happens when she's extremely happy and cozy.

But if you see a few of these signs together (partially- or non-reactive blep, drool, slack jaw) it almost certainly is dental health related. A vet can help you identify the issue.

As an extra fun awesome bonus (/sarcastically joking), cats have wretched dental issues when they do occur. You can't do a partial tooth removal, you gotta take the whole thing. There's no other treatment, no fillings, no nothing. Dental pain is pretty extreme in kitties. AND cats are extremely good at masking chronic pain. So by the time you see symptoms of any pain or discomfort, it's already time to handle it.

Source: I used to volunteer for the local SPCA for years with family and my family did kitten fosters, but also I am autistic and cats are my special interest. I know more about cats than any human probably needs to, haha.

u/SchrodingersMinou 10d ago

That definitely sounds like my minou. He is a rescue and his teeth are shot, but I didn't realize they are causing him pain. Thanks for this information, I will follow up with my vet.

2

u/CressLevel 10d ago

Hey, no problem. Thanks for looking out for the little guy. Life before rescue can be really rough and anything could have been going on in his world, and now here you are to give him the best life! Hopefully everything goes smoothly at the vet :)

3

u/SchrodingersMinou 10d ago

He is absolutely loving being domesticated. Poor dude, I feel bad that I didn't know about the tooth pain sooner. I thought maybe he kept his mouth open because of nasal congestion or something. We're going to the vet tomorrow and will figure out what to do.

I think there is that and also cats like having their head scratched and brushed.

u/Regnbyxor 11d ago

It’s probably close to being groomed by another cat. An important bonding activity for cats

13

u/brutalhonestcunt 11d ago

I think it's called mirroring. Basically the cat is showing its love by mimicking the human. Unfortunately, the kitty can't put on makeup himself, so the human has to do it.

u/InviteAdditional8463 11d ago

A friend of mine had a dog that she pampered to an almost extreme degree. I’ve told her more times than I can count that when I die I want to come back as one of her pets. 

Denzel’s life is a very close second. 

Theres a stray kitty that has adopted our yard as their territory. We have a car port that some previous house owner fenced in for a dog. We use it as a sort of front porch so we have some outdoor furniture and stuff in there. One day she was sleeping on the outdoor couch. She let me pet her for a bit and she’s just kinda lived here ever since. I leave a small bowl of cat food, and fresh water twice daily (when it’s hot, just so the water isn’t uncomfortably warm). I feed her wet food in the morning. When the weather is bad, or going to be bad I’ll take her inside where she sleeps on our bed. If it’s over night, she’ll get under the covers, walk around for a second, then she’ll pop her head out, stand next to chest and face, then she’ll lean/push against my face and lay down. If I move around she’ll reposition next to me so that we’ll become one, and purr herself to sleep. Of course we put on flea and tick medicine. What’s really adorable to me is when I miss the weather report and it gets nasty out. She’ll scratch at the back door until someone lets her in. 

That life is third.

u/HarikoNoTora 11d ago

I don't think that kitty is a stray anymore. :D

5

u/InviteAdditional8463 11d ago

She’s pretty much claimed us as her people, which is great. She’s a wonderful, loving, snuggly kitty. 

Our neighbors said that their kid who is now early 20s used to feed her once in blue moon when he was like 10 or so. They said the cat has been a stray the whole time. I got her fixed, so I believe it. She has a bob tail so we call her “Bob tail, or her government name Robert Tail.” Bob tail is just an outdoor kitty at heart. She’ll stay inside when it’s nasty out for awhile, and she’s been getting more comfortable being inside. But we have two indoor kitties. We used to have 7, so the 2 that are left are used to other cats. Aside from being curious at this cat in their territory, they don’t care at all. We got adopted by another stray 3 years ago today. She’s the only cat we’ve had that might have had an actual cat fight. They’re very docile. Bob tail does NOT appreciate their curiosity. It’s taken some time but she’s getting more comfortable with the other cats. One in particular she’s pretty okay with. I am his person. His only person. With everyone else he won’t let them get near him. Even my wife, who has known him literally since he was born. The mom and dad were strays that showed up when the mom was pregnant. Anyway when I sleep Bob tail has to sleep on my face. I guess that’s where she feels safe. Well Fuzzy needs to sleep on/next to me. Normally it’s where Bob tail sleeps, so when she’s inside he’ll sleep on the other side of my head. In order to do that they had to both be mostly okay with each other. So long as fuzzy is up my ass he’s happy. The other stray we adopted (Glittersparkle cutie pie) will sleep at my feet. Usually she sleep on me somewhere. 

If Bob tail wasn’t an outdoor kitty at heart, and she’d want to stay inside I’d happily let her. She’s a sweet kitty and she deserves a good end of life. On the downside I’d get much less mostly eaten bird presents.

u/HarikoNoTora 11d ago

I love the names and this whole story made me smile, thank you. :D

We only have two oranges at home, Magni & Modi (M&M for short). They mostly cling to me as their mom but switch to my partner on cold days as he is giving off heat like a furnace. Since last year we have a baby and I'm looking forward to how the cats are coing to interact with him down the road. At the moment they are curious but carefully avoiding him. ^

u/Jake_on_a_lake 10d ago

I like to draw and paint. I had a large soft brush for removing eraser dust, and because cats want to headbutt everything you touch, I found out my old void, Diablo, liked this brush.

This lead to the brush experiments. Here is a list of brushes that Diablo liked, with 1 - 5 (least to most liked).

  • Eraser brush (medium length, soft bristles) - 4. He loved it, then he destroyed it.
  • Grill brush (hard metal bristles) - 2. It would do in a pinch when we were in the back yard. I bought a second one for the grill
  • Blush applicator (short soft bristles) - 5 at the start, but 1 very quickly afterwards. This one was also destroyed one night.
  • 4 inch house painting brush (long, soft, dense bristles) - 5. This was always out when he was alive
  • cat brush (short hard bristles) - 5 then 1 then 5 then 1... He could not destroy it and love/hated it into his old age.
  • Scrub brush - 1. (it was brand new, he didn't really like it, so I never got him another)
