Merricat was in the barn this morning when I squatted down next to her and slowly lifted my hands to scratch her neck.
And she let me.
So it wasn’t just a one time thing that happened yesterday. It’s something Merricat enjoys and wants me to do.
Grooming is so basic. Animals do it for themselves and for each other. And when they do groom each other it’s about more than just staying clean. It’s a way to communicate, to bond and gain each others trust.
