Not only that, but she has her favorites- with me in the early morning hours, usually stuffed between my left leg and the chair arm and occasionally across my lap as I hold the laptop towards my knees, and on her mom's lap every evening as we sit and watch movies or just talk. In contrast, our old Orbit- this blog's founder- was such a cuddle bug, eager holder and lapcat all in one. I truly believe that cats can also sense when a human loves cats.Smudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226245570491413865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-3700283608895088972021-08-28T14:24:26.739-07:002021-08-28T14:24:26.739-07:00That sounds delightful, though I think I'd hav...That sounds delightful, though I think I'd have a cramped arm before I'd have an achy lap.

But if a cat sits in your lap it's because she just wants to get warm.
