Question
My cat was adopted from an animal rescue shelter and loves to have her head and ear rubbed and once you start she doesn't want you to stop. However, she dislikes having any other area on her rubbed or scratched. Does this indicate a history of being abused by her former owner?
Hi Bob!
I wouldn't think so. My cats also love to have their heads and ears rubbed. They don't seem to mind having their backs stroked, but the head is their favorite place. I think your cat is just letting you know that the head is where she prefers the attention.
Thank you, by the way, for adopting your cat from a rescue shelter!!
God Bless,
Becky

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
