The two resident Calicos are having a conversation:
Snoops: Gypsy, I’ve noticed that you seem to be trying awfully hard to bond with Mom.
Gypsy: She’s been really nice to me. And sometimes she seems kind of lonely.
Snoops: I know. I think she still misses Kommando.
Gypsy: I’ve never really had a human before. Sometimes it feels like a huge responsibility.
Snoops: It really is. They can be incredibly needy. But you need to make sure that you’re not too enthusiastic. Sometimes you look a little eager. That’s not a good look for a cat.
Gypsy: What do you mean?
Snoops: You are really an enthusiastic head bonker. You look like you want to snuggle right into her neck.
Gypsy: It’s nice and warm. And I fit well. And I can make her smell more like me.
Snoops: I don’t know. It looks an awful lot like you’re trying too hard.
Sgt Stripes: Don’t listen to her, Gypsy. Humans like head bonks.
Snoops: I remember your human saying he was getting a headache.
Sgt Stripes: You are mistaken. He was just joking around. He loves my head bonks. I can even do it on my back legs. I am really tall when I want to be.
Snoops: It seems undignified.
Sgt Stripes: You wouldn’t understand. You not really a bonker; you’re more of a nudger. You push your head against the humans hands and faces.
Snoops: I am more delicate.
Angel: I think that head bonks are the best way to show my affection.
Gypsy: That’s better than your love gnaws. It’s taken the humans a bit to realize that you’re not trying to taste them.
Angel: Mom really likes my love gnaws. She understands me.
Gypsy: Is that why you’ve moved to gnawing her head?
Angel: That’s really not working out very well. Her head is too hard.
Snoops: You’re lucky she really likes cats.
Sgt Stripes: She does. And she understands our love languages.
Onyx: Are you guys talking about Mom?
Snoops: We were actually talking about head bonks.
Onyx: Ooh. I love head bonks! It’s a really good way to say “I love you. Now give me treats.”
Gypsy: That’s not what they mean.
Sgt Stripes: I asked Mr Google, and he says that there’s a bunch of reasons why we head bonk. We do it to mark territory.
Gypsy: That’s what I said! She’ll smell more like me!
Sgt Stripes: Apparently some cats do it with other cats. They do that to create a colony scent.
Onyx: That is definitely not something I would be interested in. The rest of you cats: I am not interested.
Snoops: As if we would want to be in a colony with you. You never mingle with the rest of us.
Sgt Stripes: Another reason we do it is to tell our humans that we love and trust them. We only do it with humans we feel safe around.
Snoops: I guess it will be a while before you guys are getting that close to the small humans.
Sgt Stripes: Here’s my favorite. Sometimes cats head bump humans to get their attention for treats or cuddles.That’s why I do my standing up head bonks.The humans think it’s really cute, and I get pets and cuddles.
Snoops: I guess your head bonks aren’t excessive, Gypsy. But be forewarned: the more time you spend with your human, the more they will want to cuddle on their own terms. And worst of all, the more quickly they will notice that your nails need to be trimmed.

LOL.
Cat conversations are always fun to read! 😸
Thank you!
So funny!! Brightened my morning! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Our cats show affection by biting. I think they learned it from Chris.
I had never heard of a cat doing that until Angel moved in
The fun thing about cats is that we all have our different methods for getting attention and affection and some of us are more pushy or exuberant than others. Are you all planning some head bonks and cuddles for Mother’s Day? Hope Sgt. Stripes gets the treats he wants and that the others of you so as well.

You’re right. We’re all unique. We tried to catch a present for Mom, but that didn’t work out. So we’ll go with the head bonks and cuddles.
