(Thats very unfortunate. i find myself blessed with a single shred of remaining sanity thanks to that cat. I wouldnt have been anywhere as ready for 2024 without him probably)
"My" (it's a stray that just hangs around) cat lets me mark him with my cheeks just fine. The only thing that seems to upset him is walking by without acknowledging his presence because when I do that, he screams and bites my ankles.
