I keep getting little round bruises down my flank, and finally clicked to the cause - that blardy cat leaping on me at 5am to wake me because she wants breakfast. She does it very deliberately, and fast because she knows it I catch her she gets swatted lol. Boy she keeps me laughing that one. She is so intelligent. She has started patting my mouth to tell me she wants a little more food please, this since I cut down on her serving size to try and lighten the load on her damaged gut (and prevent the unpleasant consequences). It is working, but it means she stays on the hungry side more often. This patting business is new, and the fact she targets the touch convinces me there is more in that tiny velvet head than we might imagine. Even old cats can learn new tricks...
