But sometimes with love, comes pain. That\u2019s what I discuss in the chapter entitled \u201cLove Hurts\u201d in my book <em>Makin&#8217; Biscuits &#8211; Weird Cat Habits and the Even Weirder Habits of the Humans Who Love Them<\/em>. Like the time Zee used Dan\u2019s head as a launch pad to fling himself across the room in pursuit of whatever dangerous predator fabricated itself in our living room. Or like when Peanut makes biscuits on my tummy with such gusto that my stomach starts to gurgle in protest because it feels like she\u2019s rearranging my innards! Or when Zoey attacks my toes when I sit on the couch because she thinks they are monsters that are going to harm me!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Some of the others joining me in this chapter with stories are Lynn Maria Thompson of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oldmaidcatlady.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Old Maid Cat Lady<\/a> whose cat Gilly will wake up his cat-mate, the Captain, for some playtime by biting his butt; Ingrid Rickmar of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MinkaMishaCatRescue\/\" target=\"_blank\">Minka &amp; Misha Cat Rescue<\/a> whose cat Minka uses her feet as a scratching post; Cindy Rein of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catopiacatrescue.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Catopia Cat Rescue<\/a> who was able to socialize one of her TNR cats, Finn, a problematic biter, by teaching him some manners, including how to sit on command, and Elizabeth Roberts-Berg whose cat Lover could use some anger-management tips when she&#8217;s around Elizabeth&#8217;s dog, Cheri.<\/p>\n<p>I end the chapter by sharing the importance of providing scratching post options for your cat, why declawing is harmful for your cat, and tips on how to safely cut your cats nails.
