    Maybe, just maybe, Ebby may become a lap-cat someday. :D

    Ebbs is fine about me picking her up and carrying her short distances - except up and down stairs for some reason. She also has been staying longer on my lap when I pick her up, 30 seconds as opposed to 10, LOL, anyway you can maybe understand how my heart lept when she jumped on my lap last night! Sadly she didn`t stay, it was only on the way to lie next to me on the sofa. Still, that was really nice too. I went and got my camera, sat back down, and took these pics.

    Comfy cat


    Can I have a belly rub?




    Yikes, look at those claws!


    Hold on, just got to do something...




    .....ok, you can carry on now.

    Yes, Ebby, you can have a belly rub. And head skritchies too.
    What beautiful soft black velvet fur you have.
    My Lovable likes to lie next to me on the sofa, too.

    Aww beautiful comfy Ebby.

    If Ebby doesn't lie on your lap, at least lying beside you is a good substitute. Sam is the only one of our cats who will lie on a lap. If you try and move before she is ready though, she digs her claws in and holds on.

    She's a true princess! She likes to be put on a pedestal rather than your lap!

    Willow was the same way. he especially panicked if I carried him up or down the stairs. (strange)

    But crossing your lap in order to lie next to you is a BIG event. There was a time Fern would not touch you with her paws unless there was something (like a paper or book) between you and her.

    Ebby sure has come a long way...........showing off her belly is a VERY trusting act!!!

    Tigris stepped on my lap 2 times up to now. Both in the last 4 weeks.

    He's seven now and you can see that patience may pay

    Ebby is such a beauty. I would love to give some rubs to her black velvet tummy.

    Oh Goody - more pics., of Ebbie Izzard - thanks Chris!
    She looks so comfy lying on the sofa and showing her tummy Methinks the time will come when your not expecting it she'll just plonk herself on your knee again and maybe decide to stay!! Hope so

    Chris, hang in there! She may just surprise you one day! Butter surprised me so much the first time he sat in my lap for any amount of time that I wouldn't move! I think I was at the computer desk because I remember typing a message here because I was so surprised and happy! Now, almost 3 years after he showed up at my door, he is known to get in my lap quite frequently, but he does not like to be carried at any time.

    Way to go, Ebby!!!

    Oh Ebby, you are so beautiful. You certainly are entitled to a wonderful belly rub....{rub, rub, rub}.
