Still Waters Posted October 6, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Animal lovers may want to look away now as a cat desperately tries to scratch an itch - using a spiky hedgehog. But while you would think the hedgehog would prove a bit prickly, this blue British shorthair appears to think it makes the perfect scratching post. The 56 second clip posted on YouTube earlier this week shows the domesticated cat tentatively approaching the curled up hedgehog before rolling its neck around the bristles. http://www.dailymail...e-hedgehog.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKO Posted October 7, 2012 #8 Share Posted October 7, 2012 My cat does this with shoes and feet. I think he has a foot fetish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldethyl Posted October 7, 2012 #9 Share Posted October 7, 2012 My cats do this with everything. I mean everything. One just knocked the baking pan off the oven rubbing on it. Cats are weird, period. I've had them screw around with my cactus plant I used to have. It's more than curiosity, it's the lack of sense. Cats may have ruled Egypt but they don't know what the hell they're doing now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
