 That's fine, unless, like Pickles, my owner, who only kneads bare
 skin, and ONLY with her claws OUT! Yowch!
 Needless to say, much as I love her loving up to me, I can only take so
 much pain.
 And no, I will NOT de-claw her, while she is strictly an indoor cat, I
 won't take her method of defense away. Better I should lose a little
 blood and suffer a little pain than lose my kitty to a dog or similar
 predator!
 (I live in Colorado and even in the city we have feral dogs, wolves. cats
 and coyotes as well as mountain lions even in the city)
