Notes & July 11, 2011 so this just happened via text Sam:Be careful, "deactivation" only works on female cats. Me:ahahahaha good to know. lol Sam:Its the "prepare to get sexed" switch, males bite the female there to get them to submit Me:are we SURE this doesn't work on people I can't just leave this alone, and I'm about to be a CKIADB (Cat-know-it-all-douche-bag), but this is not true. The scruff of the neck/going limp thing is inherent in all cats, because mama cats carry their kittens around this way. It just happens to be a convenient (kinky?) trick male cats use on females. For various reasons. One time, Josh and I were sitting outside late at night and we heard cats getting it on. That was hilarious. Whew, I feel better. Carry on.
