The Art of a Good Cat Massage

My Mom has been training hard to become my favorite person. She started reading a book called "Cat Speak" so she can communicate with me better.



In the book, she learned about cat massage as a way to "bond better with your cat." She isn't sure if the "bonding" is working, but you can see for yourself from these pics that it's a pretty darn good massage!

Gotta get the top of the head... then she'll
get my "M" on my forehead next...


Ohhh, the neck.... that's it Mom, right there...


Must not forget the cheeks...


Ah yes, the other side of my neck....


And now the back of my head..... don't forget the ears please....


I feel so relaxed.....


Mom has massaged my whole head (including cheeks, chin, and the "M" on my forehead), ears, and neck. I'm immensely enjoying it so she just keeps continuing with that approach.

For those of you who are training your humans, here's the massage training guide. It's all nonscientific, but something tells me that won't matter to you.

Wow that looks like the best massage EVER!! I'm going to have to try that with Hendrix, see if it doesn't calm him down a bit. He's quite the crazy cat these days! I don't know if you like your belly rubbed but Hendrix will lay there for hours if I'm rubbing his belly! Happy st. pattys!

My friend, Richard the World's Greatest Chef, is also the world's greatest massage giver...he learned from his c-a-t, Bob. I love it when he comes over because he gives me a head rub just like you got! Thanks for helping to make mom's birthday extra wonderful...your comments made her smile AND helped to save an Eskie.
