Rosie just loves being brushed with the new brush i bought them last week!, but i need to know something?!.

When i'm brushing her along her back her rear end lifts and she starts rubbing the side of her face against the computer desk, and purrs.

What i'm trying to say is, am i making her feel "fruity" because i know thats a sensitive area, so if it is i'll avoid it, because she seems to be loving it too much!

Can't say mine have done that-Grizzly is long haired and her behind is sometimes hard to brush so she is sometimes the opposite and gets crabby if I try to brush for too long.

Willow love to have her cheeks petted (she's a fluffy medium-haired cat), and she will start to rub and drool while I'm brushing her cheeks. I think she's just showing you that she likes it, but I don't know for sure.

She is marking the spot where she has found pleasure, thinking when she returns to the exact same spot she will find more pleasure. All I can say is you better be sure and have that brush handy or she will be one disappointed kitty!
