Owner Realizes His Cat Loves Every Way Of Being Petted

Pets often enjoy our touch, and they have a special fondness for the gentle strokes we give them. But did you know that some animals enjoy being scratched so much that it doesn't even have to be with our hands? While this might not be true for all pets, there's one charming cat who adores getting affection from her favorite people, whether that’s with their hands or literally anything else.

Nola is a cat with a unique quirk that's won the hearts of her family. Her dad, Hipyo Plants, noticed that Nola adores being scratched by almost anything.

“We discovered that Nola likes being scratched by basically anything, which sent us down a path to discover if there was anything she didn’t like being scratched by,” Hipyo Plants, Nola’s dad, shared.

This curiosity led him to experiment with various items, from a lint roller to a gaming keyboard and even a broom handle.

However, Nola had a clear favorite - rocks.

Hipyo Plants, being a terrarium enthusiast, had collected several rocks. One day, he decided to scratch Nola with a rock, and her response was immediate - she meowed for more and started purring.

“One day I tried scratching her with one. Immediately, she meowed for more and started purring like an engine.” said Hipyo.

This discovery led them to try different types of rocks, including coarse, smooth, and jagged ones. Nola loved them all, but her absolute favorite was lava rock because it brushed her fur out really well.

“She likes ALL of them, but she loves lava rock the most because it brushes her out really well.” shared Nola’s owner.

Now, Nola's dad regularly gets new rocks for her to enjoy, and it has become a routine in their daily lives.

Nola insists on being petted with rocks almost all the time. She rubs against them and even flops on the ground to signal her desire for a good rock scratch.

This unique quirk became a well-known part of their family life, so much so that they've dubbed their house "Nola's Geology Club." When guests come over, they're encouraged to scratch Nola with a rock to show their friendliness, and they've even created T-shirts and stickers to commemorate this adorable ritual.

Nola's love for being petted might be unusual, but it's a part of her charm that's here to stay.
