Sweet Marmie, you are truly a special kitty. On one hand you prefer a loose contact with your families but in the other you had enough trust to have your babies right on a human's lap-I certainly never heard a story like this. It sounds as if you have found the purrfect life just for you-and one can see what a happy and healthy kitty you are-with very special markings and wonderful eyes.
Congratulations!!!!
