WHY?

[AirmensMom]

Why does my mostly black cat insist on rubbing all that black fur all over my white shirt? Should I just give up and wear a black shirt?

This is the culprit. Notice that she likes to lie on light-colored bedspreads as well. Is it so we know she's been there? Sort of like the opposite of incognito?:shrug:

1. looks like my mollybeast

[AirmensMom]

4. Beast is right for this one.

Now she's "claiming" me by rubbing her mouth all over my arms. I'm going to need a bath before long. :rofl:

Is there a pic of mollybeast? :loveya:

[datasuspect]

17. that is their "kitty ownership glands"

that's how they tell other cats they own you.

[AirmensMom]

18. Great name for them!

:rofl: She's making sure the other kitties will stay away from me. Now she's sitting on my hands while I'm typing ... it's very hard to do this. :P

2. Our black cat does that on our white stuff and my MIL's white cat

does that on black stuff... Maybe they are afraid they will get lost? :shrug: :hi:

[AirmensMom]

7. Hey, MrsG!

:hi: Now why didn't I think of that? :shrug: I bet that's it! :bounce:

[SteppingRazor]

3. Why? For the same reason that cats...

seem to be able to sense whomever happens to be allergic in the room, and then immediately rub all over that person.

It's because cats are evil, evil animals :evilgrin:

[AirmensMom]

9. LOL!

This little doll is as far from evil as she can get. :rofl: She just thinks everyone loves her. Oh, to have that much confidence! :bounce:

5. For the same reason my cat gacks on the carpet...

because they can.

[AirmensMom]

11. Carpets and cats

don't mix. And if you have bare floors except for the tiniest throw rug, they'll puke on the throw rug. :P

6. Why anything?

edited to add an existential *sigh*

[AirmensMom]

12. Indeed.

*sigh*

8. because

That's what cats do best ~ mark their territory with fun and other stuff.

[AirmensMom]

13. So I'm her territory now?

:shrug: Well, I NEVER .... :rofl:

And are you too polite to tell me that my house smells like cats? (Oh, yeah, that's another thread ...)

CUTE kitty! :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

14. I didn't smell cats when I visited you, just a great home cooked meal.

Thank you very much! :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

16. You're very welcome!

:loveya: :hug: Can't wait to see you again!

10. We lose both ways

Our two black kitties lounge on white sheets, light-colored blankets, and light-colored shirts, and our orange and white kitty takes the dark stuff. Oh, they know all right! Don't underestimate the feline brain!

[AirmensMom]

15. I know what you mean.

:rofl:
