Re: I have another one for you

'Patient tolerance' is a form of feline love. The cat's attitude is very similar to an older cat dealing with a kitten. When I fostered a very young kitten, most of my cats (even those that had been Momcats in their former lives) wanted nothing to do with her. She was obnoxious and busy and never left them alone.

One tomcat would sit and twitch his tail while she attacked it. He looked much like that cat, just sort of "I'm not allowed to hit it and I know that", but any time the foster kitten ran off to play with something else, he'd get up and sigh and follow after her, so he could be annoyed wherever she'd taken herself off to. Sometimes he bathed her, with the definite air of "shut up, you need a bath", and tried very hard to deny that either he or she was purring.

The bath is a pretty good tell, most of the time.

The cat likes the rat just fine, he just doesn't want to admit it.

You know, I was thinking it was a sham when the cat was allowing the rat to groom him/her. that's just funny.
