You know how people who don't make their own decisions and just follow everyone else are referred to as sheep? Well, cats could call those cats ants, because ants don't make their own decisions either and just follow all the other ants.

Hmm, that's an idea.

And tweaking your whiskers could be a phrase that means teasing, or making someone mad just to get a rise out of them.

Ants. Brilliant. o.o
hm... Is there a human version of tweaking whiskers? There doesn't have to be, but I'm thinking about how cats would use it in a different way from twisting one's tail. Tweaking whiskers sounds milder, even though I would expect it to be quite unpleasant.

I didn't know twisting your tail existed.
Is it the same thing as teasing someone just to make them mad?

to twist one's tail -- to bother or annoy to a serious extent mm... I think it was Modd who came up with this one. |

Well, tweaking your whiskers is what Patchfur does to Shortwhisker- trying to get him angry and saying things just to make him mad.

*puts in her two cents*
Well, I think tweaking one's whiskers does sound more teasing-like, like just kidding around with someone. Twisting one's tail sounds more like they're aggravating someone on purpose: much more extreme of an irritating act.

That makes more sense Kayte. Thanks for explaining.
