Top veteranarians and scientists around the world agree there is a certain stage of kitteh development known as "I-can-put-my-entire-hand-around-your-ribcage". Here’s how to tell:
1. Take a scientific instrument such as your hand.
2. Touch your thumb and middle finger together.
3. That circle you just made should perfectly fit around this kitteh’s ribcage.
Bingo, People.
Cindy H., we learn something new every day.
Is that kitten flirting with me? ‘Cause I think he’s flirting with me.
I had a dream about a kitten that looked just like this one! Might be time to add to the tribe… FATE.
OMG, I remember that stage so clearly!!!!!!! With the little teeny armpits, so huffable.
*whispers to self* Okay, must stop thinking about kittens….just say no.
*nom*
@T.U.M., I don’t think he’s flirting with you. He’s remind you that he has four razor-sharp implements of kitty destruction.
Dee-licious! Look at that pink nosie.
I love that stage !!! The ribcage stage. A new definishe for the glossary ?
Now of course, the ribcage stage being the stage after the total lack of shoulders stage :

Nice strayche allows the human to put hand around ribcage. (Or another scientific instrument “such as” the hand, provided such instrument has thumb and middle finger).
Not to mention redonkulously cute paws up!
No, no. It’s definitely flirting. There’s a coy look in its eyes.

Hi there! This is my kitteh Munchkin, and I am so stoked that she got on CO! She is very playful, silly, and yes, I definitely can’t resist snorgling with her whenever I can!
Munchkin’s adorable. I don’t blame you for snorgling her.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that finds kitteh armpits irresistible!!
Just as sweet as the strayche is the total vulnerability and trust. And oh yes, kitten armpits!! La la!
