It can mean different things in different contexts..<BR/><BR/>"please stop that" - when say, rear toes are being tickled illegally.<BR/><BR/>"please continue with that" - when a particularly exquisite petting stops. I do this if I'm petted when asleep "ooo yeah, thaasss nice, I'm sleeping, do carry on, purr"<BR/><BR/>"I want some prey chasing action, lemmie at it" when viewing say, a bird/bug that is out of reach on the other side of the glass.<BR/><BR/>Robyn and Finch say it all beautifully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36262675.post-35046616631720408262008-09-09T01:11:00.000-07:002008-09-09T01:11:00.000-07:00I have a friend with six or seven cats in her hous...I have a friend with six or seven cats in her house. Penny (canine), who races through the place like a maniac, is NOT allowed to visit!<BR/><BR/>I've heard them make all sorts of noises, but I'm going to ask my friend about this one, as I haven't heard it.<BR/><BR/>I have a book called, "Outwitting Dogs". I think there's more of a chance of doing that than of even dreaming of out-thinking a cat.parlancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175843064324380048noreply@blogger.com
