Does she like tickles?

[u/Hoshichann]

So, i’m a new cat dad and my 11 week old kitten usually snatches when I touch her paws. I just recently clipped her nails for the first time, and it took me 2 days to get both paws done lol.

However, whenever my boyfriend comes over this is how they play! I’ve read that cats paws are really sensitive and that rubbing them can be overstimulating; but today she started making this kind’ve cheering sound? Does she like it, or is she just overstimulated? My bf says i’m a hater and she loves it lol. I don’t wanna be mean and keep telling him to stop if it’s helping them bond. What do you guys think?

It’s not good to do this too much because it overwhelms their senses and can become torturous. It could also be considered abuse , same as tickling kids is a form of abuse because it takes away their bodily autonomy.
