When my boyfriend lost his beloved Tomas, I had just the day before, adopted a new kitten and given it to him(long story, he needed a home). Now, Buddy, the new guy was NOTHING like Tomas. Tomas was patient, loving, and sedate. Buddy is funny, rambunctious, and very impatient! He hates to sit on laps or be still for very long at all. At first, this bothered us until we started to appreciate Buddy for the beautiful (he is a gorgeous medium-haired tuxie!), funny, playful guy that he is. So playful, in fact, that we had to get a friend for him to play with. Enter Mau Mau. She is a lap cat extraordinare and seldom leaves a lap except to eat. Now that we have both kinds, we have found that each one has their own brand of charm. Enjoy your new kitty and she may become a lap cat yet! Buddy has recently started sitting on laps and begging for love and attention.
