Moose is a 7 year old NM. I also have two more cats, Lucy a 4 yr old SF and Rocky an 8 yr old NM. They've had their spats, but have gotten along well lately. They stay indoors: I have Feliway Comfort Zone plugged in all the time.
A week or so ago, out of the blue, Moose started 4 legged kneading on my lap. He will do it 6 or 7 times on days I am home all day. He jumps up, turns round and round, kneading with his claws out and purrs. His eyes dialate, he drools and seems to be in a trance. If I even try to touch him, he'll meow loudly, but will not stop until he's done. I've times him and he can do this for up 10 minutes each time. When he's finished, he'll go lay down.
I've tried to put a pillow on my lap, and he won't jump up. He sleeps with me and thankfully leaves me alone at night.
I don't mind him kneading once or twice a day, but this is getting crazy! I don't want to stifle an expression of love for me, but will it warp his psyche to limit this behavior?
Thanks!
Cathy
