I really do not think they enjoy a scratch. I know they seem to "lean" into it. My personal expereince with sav's is they are protecting their eyes and ears. I have a pair, I scratch their heads and necks all the time. But I think they just tolerate it. Scott
My Savannah, Damburger, loves to soak in the tub. He is never more calm or friendly. He does seem like he would rather be pet on the head then any where else.
