Your cat can
benefit from therapeutic touch/massage if she's gone through trauma
or recovering from an injury or illness. You cat may be shy at first
about getting therapeutic touch from you, so start slowly. Remember
your cat is very small and fragile, in spite of the claws! So be
VERY gentle as you learn what your cat likes. Lightly rub his tummy
in a circular motion to aid digestion. Most cats love to be lightly
scratched on their back right above the tail. From there you can
work outwards to the hind legs. Most cats will allow you do do this
while they are sitting. When your cat is laying down, gently run
your fingers down the side of his body on either side of his spine,
making sure not to rub directly on his spine.

Remember, most
cats don't like to have their back paws touched, and almost all
cats have one or two areas that are off limits until they trust
you more (and sometimes not even then). Always be gentle and reassuring.
Once your cat gets used to her therapeutic touch, she will probably
point you to the area she likes to have rubbed the most.
Massaging you cat lightly will not
only bring her much satisfaction, it will help keep her healthy
by stimulating circulation. You can also use this time to inspect
for any unusual lumps, bumps, or tenderness that may need further
attention or a trip to the vet. An excellent book for learning to
massage your cat is "The Healing Touch for Cats - The Proven
Program" by Dr. Michael W. Fox.
And don't forget the cats favorite
spot - under the chin! That's the one place our flexible friends
can't reach when cleaning, Anytime you scratch or rub them under
the chin or on the fluffy side of the face, watch how their eyes
half close and they stretch their neck to "assist" you
in getting to their soft spot!
