- (In this article, sTella described rough treatment of cats, which she
- said her cats enjoyed.)
-
- sTella, I agree with you that *some* cats can enjoy rough treatment.
- I know I had one that did.
-
- But others most definitely do not. And I hope, if you play rough
- with your cats, that you are very, very sensitive as to when they
- want this and when they don't.
-
- This is a sore point with me; because when I was young, I had two
- cats, and a SO who adored the cats. My SO was a person who liked
- very intense stimuli himself (for example, he liked very spicy
- foods, and he liked beer with whiskey in it); and even though
- he loved the cats, he didn't really understand that one of them didn't
- like the rough treatment he thought of as affectionate and
- appropriate.
