hello all,
some of you may have seen before that Golly is now fully installed in my house (14 year old shelter cat)..
the ONLY issue i have with Golly is that he just simply "turns" if my hand should go anywhere near his rear legs.. he is always jumping up to sit on my lap to watch tv or to fall asleep purring his heart out but if i should happen to go too near his rear legs he grabs my arm with both front paws and sinks his teeth in before leaping off.
he's drawn blood twice now now I guess I might just have a cat that is "particular" about he rear quarters but he seems so friendly and docile at every other time..
I have noticed that his back legs seem a bit "bowed" - maybe he has some onset of athritis ?
I'm going to the vet with him on Saturday morning and will ask about it then but am just curious if others on here had any suggestions / experiences of this ?
thanks for any replies,
Frank (Essex UK)
