My two lap cats, Mac and Kimba, have been working overtime on their lap work. Any time I sit anywhere (and I do mean anywhere) they jump right up and start the head bumpies and purrs. Ming is not a lap cat, he waits until you are in bed and then he lays next to you and gently taps you with his paw to get pets. He's Siamese so he also chirps, mrrps, and purrs the entire time he's doing this. They are sucking up big time!
