Scrufty is the most standoffish cat we have among the inside rescues. She does not like being picked up and sometimes runs if she sees one of us approaching her to pet her.
But if she sees me coming with a brush, she starts wiggling around. We say she is being a wiggle worm!! Usually, she will let me brush her, totally loving it. She will move into different positions, seeming to delight in being brushed every which way.
And what a sweet, heart-shaped face! She is such a dear one.
