No, cats do not like being grabbed by the neck as it can be uncomfortable and may trigger their natural instinct to defend themselves.
No. They do like neck scratches.
* A horse that loves you would absolutely love a scratch. * A horse loves a scratch on the nose or on the shoulder. * When I had a horse as a teenager, she loved a good scratch around the ears. My step-father's horse, however, loved to be scratched under the chin. * horses also love to be scratched aroud the rump if they are happy being scratched there they will lean over toward you * Horses naturally interact as friends by scratching each other on the shoulder/whithers, so it tells your horse that you are friends. * It's also good to scratch around where you put on the bridle because that will sort of get your horse used to wearing it * very true answers but me and my mum have many horses and our most recent loves to be scratched by the hind leg- where the skin changes direction * My horse absoloutly LOVES to be scratched behind the ears, under her mane, and under her chin. ( Becareful some horses my not like the chin and can bite.) * Well it depends on the horse. For instance One of the horses at my barn loves to be scratched on his neck but another horse there tries to bite me if i scratch his neck.
Subcutaneous fluids should be administered in cats under the skin, typically in the scruff of the neck or along the back.
Cats may nibble when being scratched because they are showing affection or excitement, or they may be trying to communicate that they have had enough. It is a natural behavior for some cats and is usually not a cause for concern.
The "Nape" is the back of the neck. An example of a sentence containing "nape" would be: "Linda scratched the nape of her neck."
It depends on the dog. My three English bulldogs love being rubbed in different places. One loves being rubbed on the neck. Another loves being rubbed on the belly. The other loves being on the back.
The tops of their heads, their neck (under their chins and on both sides of their chins), their shoulders, and along their backs to the ends of their tails. Some, but not all cats like to be petting on their stomachs as well.
There are about six.
Cats enjoy being petted. They like having their ears and neck scratched. Petting or stroking should be done from front to back, or head toward tail, and gently. Cats do NOT like rough play. In fact, if you train your cat to tolerate rough play, eventually they will use their claws and teeth to fight back. DO NOT TRAIN KITTENS TO EXPECT ROUGH TOUCHING OR JOSTLING!
it is called a scruff
Not all felines will exhibit a licking behavior when their back is being scratched. The licking behavior, while common, is more of an individualistic behavior, and most likely a grooming response. When the cats back is being scratched, the cat feels something similar to self grooming or grooming from another cat, and some will lick the air in time with the stroking. Licking in response to stroking or scratching is not necessarily a species wide behavior however, and not all cats will react similarly. A response that is very close to being species wide is the movement when the base of their tail is scratched. Most cats will stiffen the legs and tail, raising their posterior high on straightened legs and many will additionally appear to point their lower jaw, stiffen the neck and turn their head toward their back. Most experts suggest that cats enjoy having the base of their tail scratched... 1.) Because it is sexually stimulating, and 2.) because this is an area inhabited by fleas and scratching there relieves an itch. I suspect that both may be factual. It is not advisable to attempt this scratching on a cat you are not very familiar with, as some will be inclined to bite when the base of their tail is scratched; especially if the scratching is done a bit too aggressively.
