Random Morning Thought

When cat's rub themselves against things, does it feel like everything is covered in fur?

When I press my hand against stuff, it doesn't feel like the other stuff is all fleshy (or indeed covered in fur *grin*)

Probably not. I would imagine their brains filter out the feeling of fur pressing against their nerve endings in the same way that your brain interprets things when you touch them.

For an experiment, put on a woolly glove and touch things. At first you will notice the feeling of the glove, but after an hour or so you will hardly notice it, instead focussing on the sensations of whatever you are touching. Brains are good at things like that.

Alternatively, shave Denver and watch him get all confused for a few hours.
