What is Leonardo Up To?

Now that's a point! My parents had a cat named Annie. (Lost her last year to a nasty sarcoma.) She was an inside/outside cat who lived to an old age (they live in the country.)

Anyway...I never was able to touch Annie or even see her really. "Skittish" would be a vast understatement. Once upon a time she was like that with everyone but my mother. As she got older she became a lap cat but only with either my mother or father. In fact, she would meow at my father and lead him to his chair so she could get in his lap and be loved on. Perhaps she too had realized a good deal!

How sweet! Your little sweeties are in love....

Noel and I have that problem....she has to be on my lap while I'm on the computer and she rubs her head on me and wants me to pet her....then she starts to kneed my legs with her machete claws...I have to put her on the floor....she back up many times and I feel so bad doing it. What a mean mommy.

Should we start a 'mean mommy' club?

OK I am no expert and have only done Counselling on a basic level with HUMANS... but I would suggest that if your cat is 12 and HE is more affectionate than usual - change of behavior -
then maybe something is wrong with him physically and maybe its time to take him to the vet to see.

Hoping all is fine!

Thanks for the concern but I think he's fine physically. I think it may be because he hasn't needed his allergy medicine for a while and is not 'under its infulence'. I know anithistimines make me sleepy and maybe they did him. He eats fine, no temperature, still stalks Chester, everything is normal except he started wanting to spend more time with me. He may be jealous because with shedding season, I spend more time brushing all four of them and he doesn't think he's getting his share of attention. Thanks again.
