And play wif toys.When my hooman

To look aroumd.”Photo/caption by Anthony Manus
This is a sign of complete Trust. Generally cats don’t like to feel off balance or out of control. My Chester would let me do something similar, even being so trusting than when I held him out in front of me laying on my forearms, he would doze off. I could also grab his front legs with one hand and his back legs with my other, lift him up and over my head and place him on my shoulders, around my neck like a scarf. He would lay there and just purr as I walked around with my living furry scarf. Chester was Extra Special – and was rescued from the streets about a week after having been hit by a car, resulting in a broken tail and rear leg which had already healed. He was a “bit crooked” the rest of his life.
