What is it with this? Whenever I'm holding Maddie or Murph is
when Oz is the absolute worst about jumping. I can't figure
out why he gets so nutty over me picking them up. He's not
really all that keen on being held by me. He'll only sit still for
me petting him for short periods. So I don't know why he cares
about them being held so much. And between training and
playing with him, he's not lacking for attention either. Tiz
puzzling.

One word. Jealousy.

Kia will lay around not bugging me but the minute I hug someone or pick up at cat at my parents house, she goes nuts, jumping up, grabbing my arm with her mouth to try and pull me away.

As soon as I stop hugging the person or set the cat down, she'll lay at my feet and show her belly with a look that says, "ME!! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!"
