I'll have to give the paw rub a try and see if our fellas like it too0

All of mine will let me do that, they stretch all their toes as far as they will go and just look at me with this really quizical look on his face.
George cat will walk a mile over hot stones to have the base of his tail scratched and would let me do it all day. Big old Bill loves the top of his head and under his chin to be rubbed, he also rolls over looking like he wants his belly rubbed but will swipe me as soon as I try.
Tinker isn't fussed, any place is fine with him and if I'm asleep (because it's unreasonable to be asleep at three in the morning) he is not above biting my fingers or ripping out my hair bobble if I won't stroke him! He also does this thing where he'll sit lie on top of my head on the pillow purring softly at first and gently paddling my head; if I ignore him the purring gradually gets louder and louder and more desperate and the claws come out into my head!:eek:0 -
My lot somehow learnt that lights out = we ALL sleep. I have to say they do not bother me at night at all - despite the fact that 3 out of 4 sleep with me. Goorge does not sleep with me, he sleeps on my bed when I am NOT there but when I am - he gets off (hmmmmmm). Fred, Teddy and Macius sleep with me till I wake up. Zara the dog on the floor in the doorway - half of the dog in my room half outside.
Shutting the door is NEVER an option sighhhhh0
