Cats have a reflex to go limp when the mother carries them by the scruff. Normally it extinguishes as they mature (like the human baby’s grasping reflex), but some cats retain it into adulthood (like Muffin?). Some breeders have been selecting for it, creating the variety called the Rag Doll. It makes the cat especially good with children.
I went back and read his comments at other places. I don’t think he’s a Troll, but he does, sadly, hate cats apparently. I would hope he would never literally kick the cat to the curb. That would make him even worse than a Troll!

That’s well drawn. Due to allergies it has been years since I’ve carried a cat, but looking at this, I remember it well.

I loved my Ragdoll. He would go limp just like that when picked up. Very loveable.

Muffin’s feline particularly lazy today.

Cats are always clean, dogs are dirty unless some poor person gives them a bath. Then they’re clean for a day or so.
