    I love squeezing my cats' fingers. I get such joy out of it. Most of my cats don't meow, and when I squeeze their fingers they let out a little chirp. I have compared the satisfaction to the feeling people get out of squeezing bubble wrap. So, I'll hold my cat and say "Sayyy ittt!" and squeeze the paw and it chirps. It's a really great and fulfilling experience.

    I do that to my cat. She's sweet and never claws me but she hates it. She'll tuck her paws under her and lie on top of them.

    I do it to my ShihTzu--we call it "puppy paw massage time." I don't really squeeze them--I rub them like a massage. He loves it. He licks my wrist while gazing at me lovingly the whole time I do it. Awesome.

    I love cat paws, how their toes feel like leather. My one cat doesn't like having her paws touched, the other cat loves it.

    me too i have three cats and i do the same. its a way of showing affection from my part. i also kiss her nose and rub it. its always wet and cold.
