ysobelOne of my friends in choir has cats, and had offered to help me with clipping Suri's nails, since that is something I have neither the experience nor the physical ability to do. (She's a fairly docile cat, and doesn't mind her paws being touched, but it still involved a fair bit of Holding a Squirming Cat.)
...needless to say, Suri was not entirely happy with the experience, although she has a short enough memory that "...I hate you" body language turned within ~5-10 minutes to "ooh I like you pet me pet me please can I lick you?". And she did squirm, and do the "help help I'm being repressed" meow, but she was a good kitty, and now her claws will stop getting caught on the carpet.
The hilarious thing, though? My friend had brought treats; I don't know what sort, some sort of dry small something. And before she got started she offered one to Suri.
Who, very politely, licked it.
And kept licking.
My friend and I started giggling hysterically, but she tried putting the treat on her leg instead of holding it in her fingers to see if that made a difference.
Nope.
Suri licked it until it fell off onto the floor, and then licked it under the couch, and then pawed it out, and kept licking...
...My cat is not at all a dork.

It's pretty funny to watch a cat monofocus on licking a little square of fabric, when you consider that the rough tongue must make it a pretty difficult thing to do! Heh.
