I dont' know if it's that they get more affectionate, but rather that they start losing some of their playfulness. They learn how good skritchies and warm laps feel and don't want to give that up to chase an old string! I love my velcro kitty. We have our nightly snuggle sessions on the couch and if he doesn't get his fix, he sure lets me know about it.
although I spoil that cat...too much the hubby says
I don't understand this comment, can you please explain? I think it's the spoiling the cat too much part. I didn't think that was possible? At least that's what T & P have been whispering to me for years now.
