Supurr Friday Greetings Pawesome Pals
It's Friday again, mew know we can't believe how quickly time flies! MOL We'll be announcing the winner of my Epically Epic Birthday Give-Away on Sunday, the winner is going to be delighted when they see what they're getting - WOO HOO!
Anyhoo, moving on, we've got a rather purrplexing question fur mew all today.
The other evening when me and The 'B' Team were chilling, as we do aftur a hectic day the P.A. decided that she was going to conduct a little experiment.
Mew see when Smooch lost his leg aftur his rather unfortunate RTA, the P.A. noticed that his back paw wasn't ticklish at all, on any level. Mew can tickle his back left thumper until the Kraken comes home and he just doesn't acknowledge anything is happening.
So the P.A. in all her wisdom decided that she was doing the back thumper tickle test [BTTT] - yes seriously this happened, purrsonally I think she should have spent her time answering comments on our blog, but no, she was adamant that the BTTT was a go.
As mew can see I was rather chilled out in a complete Zen Harmonies Zone when she crept up and began to tickle my back left thumper, in fact I found it rather relaxing, much like reflexology fur cats.
"Don't stop," I said as my purring ramped up several notches.
"I'm going to do the right paw now," she said a few moments later.
Well, let me tell mew, my Zen Harmonies where shattered in less time than it took to say, "'l'll have four Number fives with a side order of fries!"
My back right thumpur is uber ticklish. She then went on to test:
Parsley
Fudge
and
Smooch
Amber and Pandora refused at point blank range to join in. with the threat of finger amputation ensuing should the P.A. not take heed.
So what did we learn from this experiment?
Me, Smooch, Parsley and Fudge all have totally non-ticklish back left thumpers and our right back thumpers are a complete NO GO ZONE!
Our question to mew dearest furriends is:
Is it your left back thumper or right back thumper that is ticklish?
As we're all righties, so that four out of six, and we were wundering if all cats are the same, do let us know in the comments.
We know this this is a totally pointless, fruitless waste of time but now we're curious!! MOL
If mew missed anything during the last week, here's the latest links fur your purrusal!
We'll be back on the morrow with a really cool Crafting with Cats post, so we're sure mew won't want to miss that, and then we'll be back again with our usual Selfie Selection on Sunday, so hope mew can join us then.
In the meantime we wish mew all an epically epic weekend!
Happy Hopping
Sweetest purrs & nose bumps

DeleteHey Brian, MOL fur the BTTT, so we're assuming it didn't happen to mew???? [YET! MOL] XOX
DeleteOh gosh, I'm away from home right now, but I need to do this BTTT right away when I return!
ReplyDeleteChatty Cats, what were your findings on the BTTT? XOX
DeleteSorry, but we told Jan in no uncertain terms NOT to do the tickle test on us if she values her digits. Interesting, though.
ReplyDeleteHiya Funny Farmers, so the BTTT is a complete no go on the Funny Farm then??? MOL XOX
DeleteOh, for the ... NOW I'M CURIOUS! I had no idea cats could even BE ticklish (sigh). If we're not back with Tuesday's post, you'll know that I was clawed to death in attempting to answer your question ;)
ReplyDeleteps - those pictures of paws ... AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Hey Momma Kat & Bear, MOL we're just going to see if Tuesdays post is up, if not we'll know that the BTTT was run and Momma lost!!!! Oops!!!! XOX
DeleteOooh I do love a bit of serious science. This could be a major revelation in the making especially for cats with tickle fetishes, or peeps with a finger death wish MOL
ReplyDeletePurrs, ERin
Hi Erin, MOL peeps with a finger death wish, that was hilarious! BTW are mew ticklish on the back paws? XOX

ReplyDeleteheerz two a round herring kinda week oh end ~~~~~~~~~ ♥♥♥
Tabbies, we'll ship your order immediately!!! With a side order of plasters!!! MOL MOL XOX
DeleteBinga happened to be lying down behind my human in our office chair, so she was put to the test... and yes, my human got to keep all her digits! Actually, she didn't respond much at all. Her right back foot did seem a little more twitchy, but she didn't have much response to either foot being messed with. So apparently she doesn't care much at all!
ReplyDeleteHey Summer, how fortunate that Binga was available fur the BTTT, so your finding were rather interesting and would go into the cat-egory of 'not fussed really'!!! MOL XOX
DeleteGood idea, I need to tickle test now too.
ReplyDeleteGuys, how did mew go with the BTTT? Do tell!!!! MOL XOX
DeleteI am a bit ticklish on both of my feetz but the Dad says we will have to try this again and also get the rest of the crew in on the fun. If you have some hot sauce I would like a #12. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHiya Timmy, oh so mew're rather ticklish on both, that's interesting, we'll have to think of a new cat-egory to put mew in then!!! MOL Of course we have hot sauce, [Humphrey's special recipe of course! MOL] We'll dispatch mew a #12 with a side order of fries with a bottle of hot sauce immediately!!! Enjoy XOX
DeleteNope! Cody isn't ticklish, he LOVES having his paw pads rubbed!! xoxo catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteHi Caren & Cody, wow that's interesting, so Cody is like amber and loves a bit of reflexology? XOX
DeleteNo ticklish thumpers here. Gracie and Zoe both like having their toesies rubbed. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Gracie & Zoey, Amber does like her front paws being massaged too! SO we need another new cat-egory!! MOL XOX
DeleteHmmm, now this is something we will have to get checked out when the petcretary comes home from work...if we remember, MOL!
