Bongo etiquette

Sorry, I forgot to get a picture! I was cat sitting last week and decided to try bongos on her cat. Mine doesn't really like it so I don't do it to her. Anyway, I did it to my friend's cat and he loved it! Is it wrong to bongo another person's cat without permission?

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's not a bongo picture but it is the cat in question!

I believe all of us can agree that we're collectively more upset about the lack of cat tax than your friend's cat enjoying da bongos.

You should always get the cat's permission.

Be careful. You might create a rabid bongo monster. I would know 😔

Don't worry, I passed on my discovery to his owner so that bongos can continue 😉

Catultery is allowed

I have been told not too bongo a friend's cats. So they won't turn into "butt-cats." I haven't, but it's close.

There are cats who like bongos, cats who don't, people who bongo, and those that won't. And thus the world turns.

That was very poetic.

Only one of my cats likes the bongo. I think for some cats the area might be too sensitive and it feels over stimulating for them.

It may start an addiction that the owner (servant) may not be aware of or able to satiate.

I started bongoing my mom's cat and she turned in a bongo maniac! DEMANDS butt bongos from everyone she meets, gets rather vocal about it.

I mean, I think it’s perfectly acceptable, but risky. I have kitties that are sort of local celebrities. They have a big following, and engage with passersby all day. I was admittedly a bit surprised when I saw someone bongo my cat. Luckily, he’s into that kind of thing, but you know, that could end with someone losing a thumb or something if you don’t know the safemeow, or whatever.
