Do-It-Yourself Chin Scratches

If there's no one around to give you chin scratches, here are some handy tips to show you how to do it yourself. Any pup or kitty can try this at home.

First, find a good height coffee table. Make sure that poo-face Salvador is not on top of the coffee table to jump on your head when you least expect it.

Second, make sure it is a nice colour to match your fur.

Third, use the corner to scratch your chin!

If your mum is not as useless as mine, she will think you are being cute and give you scratches of your own.

(Mum's note: thank doG for dark furniture! My white kitchen wall corners have not fared so well.)

Hi Huffle...you know, I do exactly the same thing you do...rub my face on the edge of the coffee table. Sometimes I even bite the edge which makes my mom mad. Guess she doesn't like teeth marks in the table!

Hey, I think you ARE an Island Cat too! You seem to meet all the requirements! (The most important one is being spoiled rotten!) We're gonna have some Island Cat Club badges made up and when we do, we'll send one to you. You can post it on your blog if you want.

Thanks for visiting us and I hope you visit us again soon!!!

I know what your mum means about white walls... I love to smear my natural kitty oils on white-coloured wall corners... and the fridge!

Woo! That looks great. I'm going to have to give that a try. Mom's been slacking at the chin scratchies recently so I may have to replace her.

At least we don't have a poo-face Salvadore to jump on our heads. So I think we can manage. Thanks for the tips!

Oh, that is so smart! we don't have any short tables in our house. But we get boxes delivered from time to time and we love scratching on the edge of boxes.

I do that too, but when my mommy is watching, I intentionally act very pathetic like I just can't get the right angle...so hopefully she will feel bad and just scritch me already.

Oooh, that looks like it would feel great. I'm going to have to try it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, right there. That's the spot.

hey Huffle Mawson,

I do that against my human's bed, because it is high enough off the ground that I can rub my face and body all over the side. But the bed cover is an off-white cream color (how do I know that?) and now there is a big black spot where I always rub. Don't show my human, though! So your mum is right, stay away from white things when scratching your own itches!

You seem much more confident in front of the flashy beast. How did it tame you?

Great form, Huffle. Next you'll have to show those dogs the right way to do back scratches.

Great instructions, Huffle. We try to give equal time to ALL corners in the house. We are nothing if not fair!

Woo are so clever, Huffle. I do somethng like that here all the time, I like to rub my muzzle all along the edge of the sofa. But the difference is that my human doesn't think it is very cute at all.

That is TOTALLY the perfect place to do chin rubbies when no one is around.

We used to have something called, I think, a "Catacomb" that is like a brush that attaches to a corner. Then you can even brush yourself.

Good thinking Huffle. Humans are useless and cats need to take matters into their own paws!

Heeheehee!!! That dark furniture is good,but the lighter stuff,like walls, is way more satisfactory ;)
All,in,all, Mom's are the best though :)
