I have a few that like it and a few that tolerate it and a few that hate it. I do have 1 that really likes it. He especially likes the chin scratch. If you stop and move away he will move his head back to your finger for more. He presses his head into it as well. He is unlike any other ball Ive had since he has never balled up. I got him as a baby and he was jusy so curious and wanted to stick his face in everything, He has bever backed away when you touch his head. You could probably bop him in the nose and he wouldnt care. I named him Koa, hawaiian for brave.
