Cats Putting Their Paw Down to the Idea of Being Petted

As animal lovers know, cats aren't the safe bet for instant affection that dogs are. They may deign to accept your offering of love, or they may not. Are your cuticles appropriately manicured? Have you lotioned your hand so that it's soft, and are your nails filed and clean? If your nails are painted, is it an appropriate color? Gaudy nail color won't be tolerated. Your cat may present you with a list of acceptable times to pet him or her: please follow it to the letter. If not, you WILL get the paw. Via Tastefully Offensive
