@AllotmentCat I expect they were for you and Maurine Amanda, maybe for Janet too. Humans like to carry treats with them so if they meet a needy cat, they have something to offer them. It is a nice thing to do, isn't it? X
@AllotmentCat Yes Amanda, I am sure Maurine will enjoy being stroked gently with kindness and allow a fuss from several once he gets used to it. You were wary at first, but now you really enjoy a fuss as do most cats treated with respect and gentle care. Don't wait too long Maurine. XX
@AllotmentCat It is lovely Amanda visits you Janet, she wants to be friends and it is nice having friends so maybe give it a go. It doesn't mean you have to be photographed like Amanda, your boundaries can be respected, and you never know when you may need a friend to help you out. X
@AllotmentCat But it would be an affectionate grab, wouldn't it Amanda? That would mean keeping those claws sheathed so you didn't scratch Betty, but it would be worth it. I would happily rub your tummy. X
