I have a girl that has never liked it to be stroked and I found that (hope I am going to explain this properly.............
) I sort of "nibble" with my finders in her coat, up and down her spine when she is sitting on my lap. She just loves it and will come for her "nibble" massage. Sort of what they do when they have something stuck in the coat on their feet and will "nibble" with their teeth to get it out. OK!!!!!!!!!!! This sound completely crazy..........
