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.
