A blog by two cats who used to live in the same house in Northern Virginia. Unfortunately, they are both no longer with us.
Sometimes men and man cats do things that aren't especially attractive. Many male athletes engage in manly but uncouth behaviors. Such it is with scratching. Here's a photo of my man cat brother Jake engaging in his scratching ritual.
At least he isn't scratching one of those unmentionable parts where baseball players like to scratch.

Jake: I was a nearly 15 year old tabby who commanded and demanded attention. I used to love to hang around on my deck outside. I developed cancer and died February 5, 2009. I didn't like my sister because she was cranky. Bathsheba: I was a polydactyl 18 year old dilute tortie and white. I used to be a big hunter in my day, but I retired when I went deaf. I developed a rapidly spreading cancer that affected my appetite and I died in the garden in November 2009. I loved my mom the best. Jake was a constant annoyance, but I missed him when he was gone. For a short while I contended with that bothersome kitten Emerson who is now my legacy to the cat blogosphere.

Oh, like us mancats are the only one who do that... ;)
Sometimes you just have to scratch an itch! I usually only scratch my ears though. Then my humans know it's time to clean them!
You gotta scratch! Like Dragonheart, my ears need to be cleaned so I start scratching them when its time to get the q-tips.

Yep, me too! I scratch at my ears until I make little red marks. Then it's time for Q-tips and cleaning solution. Yech. I would rather just scratch.
i'm a boycat, but nobuddy'll let me skratch cuz i skratched a hole unner my chin an had no furs there. then they clipped my claws an changed my food an now i duzzn't skratch much an my fur's growin' back. the Lady sez she's just glad cats duzzn't sit 'round belchin' like men duz.

What's wrong with scratching like that?
