2021 meme - 30th April and 1st May

30. Have you ever been on an island?
I live on an island. A pretty big, heavily populated one.

Have I ever been on another island? No.


1 Has a random person ever asked you for your phone number?
Not that I recall.

Daisy is obsessed...

...with stropping her claws on one of the wheels on my wheelchair. She usually does it twice a day, sometimes more. I thought I remembered something about it being a way to mark territory, so I googled it.

~~~~~
Scratching is also used as a form of territorial communication or marking behaviour. Scent and sweat glands in between the pads of the feet mix to produce a unique smell. When claws are scraped down a surface, the scent is deposited and the combination of the mark, discarded claw husks and the smell provides a strong visual and scent message to other cats.

Cats will often scratch vigorously in the presence of their owners or other cats as a sign of territorial confidence.

Aww, Daisy, you do care! ❤️
