Quick Question!
If I rub our Ernie's shell at the back above his tail he moves side to side and practically sprints about lol !
Would this mean he hates it or indeed likes it do you think? |

I reckon its a scratching thing...a pleasurable type of relieving an itch or something.
Itchy ...scratchy thing.

Yeah but I have done a wee tap on the shell at the back with Lils. He will immediately sit. Like waiting to be mated...He just sits there, like in submission. However, if he is walking about and I tickle rather than tap...then its the squiggle wiggle.
Also on edges of sofa....and outside. Tap...or tickle. |
