At 4 pm Chicago time (1.5 hours from now), all the cats sent to me for the DemoCATic National Convention will be posted. In the meantime, here’s an Honorary Cat™.
I’ve had the pleasure of hand-feeding these guys (Lemur catta; note the name), which are absolutely gorgeous—and adorable when the babies ride on their mothers’ backs. This one makes it clear that he wants some scratching. Who says lemurs aren’t smart?

That little guy has figured out a neat trick. He’s figured out how to tickle people’s sense of humor to get himself a tickle. Charming.

Simon’s Lemur!
I’ve seen this before and LOVE it!!
Anyone know the language?
It’s the same all over the world completely language independent. Like music. Scratching an itch. 😎
It sounds like Malagasy – the melodious language of Madagascar. I compared with YouTube videos that have that language spoken & it seems close to me.
Makes sense.
I’ve seen similar behavior in a dog I had growing up. He loved having his ears scratched and would ask for scratches by coming up to you and pawing his ear.
I suspect we all have a little lemur in us.
