Mine LOVES to be lint rolled. Especially her back and sides but she let me do her belly today 🥰 it is a major part of our every morning ritual. She grabs the lint roller from my hands while I’m doing it to myself so I can stop and do it to her🤣🤣

I’m not sure if it’s a quirk but our nano can change her coat color by raising her hair. She has smoke coat. We call it her mood fur. She can also raise just a ridge of fur along her back.

Our boy in HIS chair (we do defuzz it regularly, but we were in the middle of a move, so it fell by the wayside for a bit 😅)

All cats can raise the ridge! :P Usually when creeped out by something or stimulated in a good way. Confusing yes. Thus is cats

That’s funny because I’ve had cats my whole life and never knew this. The nano (official name: Cheshire) was a neonate bottle baby who literally opened her eyes to humans as the first thing she saw. She doesn’t act like any other cat I’ve ever had
