AAWWWW!!! I love stories like that. I know what you mean about kitty's favorite place is in your arms or on your lap. My Gigi is like that. She'll jump in your lap and demand to be pet, head bumpies and all...and she won't settle down to sleep unless you cradle her in your arms like a baby and cuddle her close. I love that. She's my angel baby...but sometimes she does that when I'm trying to get some work done or am typing on the computer, then I have an armful of kitty and can't get anything done because I hate to disturb her! Does she have me wrapped around her little paw or what?! Your Monte sounds like a sweetheart!
