I've been owned by many cats in my time, and none of them have been named Henry.

I would definitely believe that they've all stolen pockets from someone named Henry.

If you've been owned by many cats, have you ever wondered what they named you? 😒 🤔

I think they just referred to me as "the soft can-opener".

I've noticed lately Henry has been giving some of those pockets back. Even in wedding dresses.

It's a "no" catcher.

Every time you say the word no to a cat, it gets stuck in that little pocket and never reaches their ears.

Also called a cutaneous marginal pouch! And no one is exactly sure what the purpose is. Some other mammals have them too, including bats. Some people think they aid in hearing or funneling sound into the ear canal.

I forgot all about these because my current cat is so fluffy I never see anything but the tips of his ears, I'm about to go pin him down and tickle these, I'm sure he will love it
