A friend of mine is a trained massage therapist, and decided to come over last night for a glass of wine. She had other motivations however; my friend is learning the art of pet massage. 8-Bit, being the most social cat in all of God's creation, decided to go first. She had him purring, drooling, and I swear, cooing. He looked so happy, that I thought he was going to try to hop in her bag and go home with her. I now know that my friend has her first client. It's $20.00 for both boys, and I was thinking about having her come once a month. Am I crazy?

Not at all!

I would love it too. As it is, my poor cats have to put up with my feeble attempts at massage. (Maybe not too feeble - Molly coos sometimes).

I give my kitties massages all the time! I'm no trained professional, but they seem to like it
I can just see 8-Bit....

I am a massage therapist, and I am going to learm pet massage eventually. Fred would let me practice infant massage on him when I was in school. He would flop over on his back and let me do whatever I wanted. I think it is a wonderful treat for your boys. It seemed to help Fred move around a little better. He was 17 years old at the time, and his old joints would get stiff.

Lol, none of us crazy pet people will think it's crazy!!

But animals have muscles, just like us, and they use them a lot harder than we do (especially Bit and Scratch!!!!), so I imagine a massage really would be wonderful to a cat!

Who doesn't love a massage!!?

It's a great idea- maybe your friend can show you some tips & tricks so you can pamper them yourself in between appointments!
