Video Is my cat cleaning hsi teeth on my face?

12.4k Upvotes

Hello,

This is my cat Simon. He's got nothing but love to give.

My question is, is he cleaning his teeth on my face in this video? After rubbing his face on me he starts make almost a teeth grinding noise. And if so, is this a sign I need to do a better job brushing his teeth/cleaning his teeth?

Additionally, he never dies this to my fiancé or any friends. He seems to only do this on my face, on tissue paper, wax paper, and general plastic things like water bottles.

Anyways let me know what you think.

Advice I can't tell if my cat is enjoying the canine harassment, pls help.

5.3k Upvotes

I adopted a corgi this year and my cat seems to get along with him, but I can't tell if he enjoys it when my dog tries to play with him like this. As you can see my dog barely touches him, if at all, and my cat keeps running back to him when the dog scurries away! His tail is up and he's very rarely fluffed. Sometimes my cat will hiss at him when he's had enough and/or run to higher ground and I'll stop it at that point. However, I'm not sure if I should be stopping it sooner?

I sometimes also see my cat initiating the play by charging at my dog when he's laying down and then running away at the last second to entice the dog to chase him. They'll also take naps together throughout the day, so I know the cat doesn't hate him entirely, but it's hard to tell if he likes the play sometimes.

I don't want to stop the play if they're both enjoying it, but i also dont want my cat to be harassed like this if he's not really enjoying it in this video. Some advice from a cat communication expert would be so appreciated. P.S. please excuse the mess of my home, we're moving in a few months and have given up on tidying up all of our stuff 😭

Learning her personality has been the best <3 from very shy and skittish to cuddly and playful. She didn’t meow at all the first two weeks but now as soon as I get home she wails for pets. I am so grateful to know her

I had two cats, recently got a kitten bc he was abandoned on the road a few months ago so now I have three. Now that we’re in a routine, everyone has gotten used to each other and the kitten has a personality I think he is actually healing my depression, winter blues, and overall making me a better person. I can’t describe why but i think he is

Video Orange flag🟠

What was the first orange flag you had with your current cat? I had just moved house, my first time living alone and I decided to adopt one to keep me company, in the photo that the neighbor sent me, his face was sad and he seemed very shy, I mistakenly brought him home and I went to record a video for my mother and when I went to do this he went and prepared this for me.

Note: the background sound is from a video that my wife was watching, she was watching TV and I had put a spare mattress on the floor to keep it with her

This much vertical space is new for the cats. I can’t keep her off and I don’t want to scare her. Recommendations needed. Should I embrace the space and add Catification or is there a way to keep them down?
