Is it possible to tickle a cat




















She might enjoy it if you slow-blink back! If her whiskers are flattened back against her cheeks, she may be frightened or angry.

Find out how to tell if your cat is unhappy. Many enjoy having their back stroked, probably because it's a similar sensation to being groomed by their mother or another cat. In both situations, don't touch, shout or stare at her, but instead give her the time and space she needs to feel calmer.

Some cats love to be the centre of attention. Her behaviour may be distracting, even annoying — but it also shows she enjoys your company and affections. This is because the sensation of tickling can become overstimulating quite quickly. This is why your cat may suddenly react negatively to being tickled even if they seemed to like it at first. If this happens, stop tickling your cat and remember to keep tickle sessions short in the future. Most cats enjoy being petted in these areas and they generally respond well to short, light tickles in these areas.

This behaviour could mean that they are showing you they trust you, that they are feeling playful or even that they are going into this position as a defence. Another area that is best avoided is their tail as many cats do not enjoy having their tail touched let alone tickled. Some cats enjoy the sensation but it quickly becomes overstimulating so only tickle them for a short amount of time.

Target was swaying, totally blissed out, and when he rolled over, I tickled his tummy. His eyes flew open as his fur rippled. I tickled him again, and for a moment the green eyes were shut in silent giggles. Then all four paws came together with crushing force. Target held my fingers, suspending the tickle, and then he dipped his head and bit me as he bunny-kicked.

Cats are ticklish, as are dogs, chimpanzees, rats, and other mammals. Animal behaviourists have observed all kinds of animals — from domesticated pets to wild ones — that enjoy tickling sessions.

Next, it seems to be related to awareness. But if you see someone is coming over and is intending to tickle you, being touched in exactly the same way and in the same spot will have you wriggling. Darwin, the father of evolution, thought that tickling was meant to help us bond. He suggested that kids and adults bond through the fun activities like tickling. Others thought being sensitive could be very useful in simpler, more obvious ways.

For example, you want to know if a bug is walking over your skin. If that were true, then the shivery kind of tickle would be important for keeping healthy and bug-free , and the fun tickly stuff might be a side effect of an overly sensitive system. Another idea was that being ticklish is a response that encourages battle skills.

Target loves being tickled on his chin, ear and base of the tail. Guido, on the other hand, thinks having his tummy tickled is heaven.

Also, if you rub the bottom of his ears, running your fingertips rapidly over the fur there, he falls into absolute stunned bliss. Swooner is totally ticklish everywhere. His face, his paws, and his back are all super-sensitive. What he really adores, is being kissed there.

Seriously, kisses on that sweet spot will have him purring.
