Well, I have two boys and one is a lap cat, cuddle bug, and one is not. My boyfriend has a male and female cat and the female is the more affectionate by far. I think it just depends on the cat.

I wouold have to agree that on average the males are more lap cats. There are exceptions. Roz is my wifes lap girl and Prcious is mine, Oliva and Boo Boo will be with who ever they deside at that moment. The rest of the girls come by for scratchs and pets. Chessie, Peak, and Timmy love to sit on my wifes lap. I get Lucky, Egypt, Demetri and Mits. Lenny, Joey and Little one are thier own boys.

My brother's family's cat, Milo, is only snuggly with certain people on his terms. He likes to be near his people at all times, though. If they're watching TV, he's somewhere in the living room. If they're eating, he is under the dining room table waiting for handouts. If they're outside, he needs to be outside too. He's such a good, sweet cat -- he loves attention and petting too. I'm not his favorite person because I over-snuggle him with hugs and kisses .

i wish Cassie was more of a snuggle bug. Depends on her mood and the time of day. She is most snuggly after she has eaten at night.

Joseph was always coming to me meeeowing for attention
Precious, was My Cat, especially after Sam passed on and she no longer had his protective presence
Moose was an attention Cat , but he was more like that where he was a Cat Magnet , where he sat everycome would gravitate
Scrappy Two is my Look at Me Cat , she will whine until you pay attention.
She such a Cry Baby

One male and two females left in my group. They all get up in my lap at one time or another during the day/evening. Buddy (male) is the one that sleeps on the arm of my chair. He doesn't actually get into my lap and if I try to put him in my lap he will jump down.

Tink (female) is all over me. She will jump up and get right in my face to get my attention and then lay down and roll all over me and the chair.

Mama (female) doesn't get completely into my lap all of the time. She likes to lay on the edge of the front of the chair. Silly cats.

Who knows why they do what they do.

Our kittys have all been affectionate. August, our male tabby was a lover - he always wanted to be held and cuddled and would often cuddle in my lap but only in my lap

Eve is an enigma - she was completely aloof with her previous humans and would not let them pick her up With us however, she is the ultimate lap kitty She cuddles with her daddy whenever the opportunity presents itself and monopolizes his lap the moment he sits in front of the TV. At night she is all mommy's girl tucks herself right up against me, has a long bath and curls up for her nap. In the mornings she is usually curled up on my shoulder purring in my ear. We have never had a more affectionate cat She has been like that with us from the moment she walked into my garden and adopted us as her own. It makes me feel wonderful to know that this little girl feels safe and secure with us and I cherish her affectionate nature.

If Havoc wants attention he'll pace across my lap but he's never been one to lay in my lap and be petted. Toby is more lappy when it's cold out but here lately he's been a lot mellower and will jump in my lap if I'm eating but still lay there when I'm done.

The only lapcat I have at the moment is Sophie. She's my lovebug. Has to be by my side when I"m home from camp and is constantly under foot, lol.

When I had Taz (who then went to live with my parents, but they let him outside and he was hit by a car and killed ), he was a real lap cat. He was always needy and wanting attention. He and my Jorgie were inseparable. My new guy, Sebastian, looks so `much like Taz did, and has such an outgoing personality, I'm hoping he and Jorgie become good friends. I'm also hoping he remains super friendly with me and that I have a lap cat once again!
