6:01 am. I’m dreaming of sausages and coffee (I can’t actually remember what I was dreaming). When all of a sudden – WHAM – my elbow gets headbutted by Mr Bump.
My eyes open – whack – another head butt.
Mr Bump is demanding I wake up and turn the tap on in the bath. You see, my cat is old, dumb, and a few screws missing from the tool box.
Whereas most cats are graceful miniature lions, Mr Bump is as graceful as an elephant on a trampoline.
You see, Mr Bump, ever since he was a kitten, has never been able to do the usual cat rub. You know the type, where they come up to you, with a chirrup and a gentle body rub showing how much they love you.
With Bump, it’s more a brute force head butt, that usually hurts. Why does he do it – only god knows.
So, what is the point of this blog? There is none; this is the beauty of this section, to tell random stories and thoughts about pets and how strange animals can be.
We’ve written a full article about why cats rub their head on you, if you want to learn more head over there.
