Make that 3 seconds. Little bastid!

The "brain eater" or, rarely, "the airplane," but only for a few strokes or scratches; one too many, and my hand becomes handburger.

It is about right for my cat except he hates any of his paws being touched--not just meh.

I have one that will let me pet him everywhere without complaint, and generally with purrs. The other cat, well, she growls if you even speak to her while she is bathing. Petting is pretty much one move and yank back what is left of your hand. She is a fine mouser, though.
