You will pet me !

B.C. I know what it is like to have furkids that do not want to be petted nor come and lay in your lap. I have 3 of them that could qualify for that status, but even those 3 do come and sleep at my feet on the bed at night. I really do not have any furkids that do not want some attention at times, it is just that the majority of them only demand atteintion when they want it, and at their time.

What's so funny is that my big Sid, the total non-lap, sleep only at the foot of the bed cat, is the most demanding one when he does want attention.

My RB girl kitty was a tortie, and she LOVED to be on me anytime, anywhere, especially up near my face - she would sleep perched on my head at night (which was not as fun for me ). My boy kitty now, can sense when I am seated, because no matter where in the house he was, he suddenly appears and leaps up into my lap. His favorite way now is to come up behind the tall office chair, make a flying leap to the top of it, and come ker-PLOP onto my lap, or chest first, then lap. He sometimes knocks the wind out of me! I always feel bad when I don't have time to accomodate him, because like Richard said, he will get on my lap and instantly fall into a deep, LONG sleep - then I can't disturb him without feeling guilty. I have to sit hunched over, protecting my lap area so he won't "climb aboard" !

Until shortly neither Filou nor Tigris would come to my lap -which did not mean that they wanted no attention or did not want to cuddle but mostly in the bed. Since a year or so, Tigris has started to come to my side when we watch TV and some months ago, he started to come to the lap of the person who sits in our big blue chair.
We are surprised and happy and hope Filou will learn to appreciate that too.

Rascal seems to like to sit in my lap the most when I am on the computer. That makes posting a tad difficult!

He will drool all over me as I pet him and he gives me love bites the whole time. Sometimes he can be a little rough so you have to watch him. He gets so amorous that he can break the skin.

When he has had enough he will jump down.

My cat Mau (a 7 year old, 15 pound Siamese boycat) also demands petties on his terms. If I get up to leave before he considers he's had his rightful due of petties, he will chase me across the bed or the floor, slapping at me with sheathed paws. Then I have to get right into his face and hiss at him menacingly. With this, he looks very surprised and backs away. Took me a while to catch on to this. He's fine if you pet him until he thinks he's had enough. He'll let you know that by nipping your arm. So I hiss again and tap him on the snoot. Seems a sad way to end a nice pettie session.

Tigris also likes it rough -my husband beats him (not hard and in a friendly way -like boys who are best friends) and he purrs and purrs

That's so good to hear. I've been a little nervous about telling everyone about this because I didn't want anyone to think that I was mistreating my Sid. I would never do anything to hurt him!

I'm so glad to hear that there are other kitties who like this! Chris and Squirt "play rough" all the time and even though Squirt purrs and purrs like a motorboat I'm always worrying about it.. Mothers!!

My cat as soon as I sit down jumps gleefully into my lap and starts purring as if saying u will pet me and if I don' then she digs her claws into me.
