Are your cats super affectionate?

[carole]

Lexie by far is the most affectionate, she loves to follow me around, and is my little companion, she also likes time alone, just like me, Ash can be when it suits him, and suprise suprise he has just become a lap cat after five years.

Hello:

We have had eight cats in our house. Some have died or had terminal illnesses and had to go.

Yes, I have had cats push their head under my hand and they usually want to be petted.

I have had Siamese. In the past, we had a blue pt. and a seal pt. Now we have another blue pt. living. The Siamese are great with kids. More tolerant than domestics.

Our newest is a stray and he is gorgeous. And he is very sweet and follows me or walks beside me, walks across the keyboard and jumps in my lap.

Bye for now and hope to hear from you

It's funny. I have 4 cats and they are all four of the choices in the poll. Trinity is my shadow with fur - I swear she's a dog that looks like a cat. Mila wants affection sometimes - she'll climb on me whenever and wherever she wants and then walk off when she's done. NokBin is tricky. She'll run all over my freshly folded laundry because she knows it makes mommy frustrated. KutingStrings is stuck up because she knows she's just gorgeous.

When my husband first brought a kitty home, I just hated her because she's so dark fur. I grew to love her so much and this incident supprised me.
During the weekend, I went to my cousin wedding for 4 days and I left my kitty with my husband. When I called home to check on them, I asked my husband to put me on speaker phone. When she heard me call her name she came to the phone and reply ("meow meow" of course), beside that she also licked the phone and rubbing it.
My husband said after the following days, she came to the phone and meowing searching for my voice and why i'm not home.
When I came home, she heard my key as I open the door and there she was, meowing, licking, running around my feet. I just love her so much.

I am remembering the first day I brought Missy home -- she was 3 months old. I showed her her food, and her water and her litter box, and then I needed to lie down, as I was suffering from a chronic pain condition at the time. So I left her to explore the apt. while I watched from the sofa. She sniffed around the dining room and living room and everything seemed to meet with her approval. And then she spied me lying down, and immediately she leapt up on me and stretched out on top of me looking down into my face with such a look of love. She nestled her face close to my ear and started to purr loudly as if to say "I'm home, mom"! It had taken no time at all for us to bond. It was immediate.
From that moment on, every time she saw me sitting or lying, she took it as an open invitation to stretch herself out on top of me. Some nights she would be forced to move several times while I changed position, but she would climb right back up, or else nestle in beside me so that I could feel her warmth through the blankets. She loved being close to me and was very possessive -- absolutely hated it when I was on the computer or the phone, and would do anything she could think of to distract me, including stretching out on the keyboard, or sitting between me and the screen. Trying to read a newspaper was a challenge with a 12 lb. cat lying on top of it. And while I would be busy doing my Christmas baking, she would perch herself up on the top of the folding kitchen door and peer down at me meowing until I acknowledged her. Anything to distract me and remind me that I belonged to her, and I needed to pay her more attention. She loved for me to hold her like a baby on her back with her body stretched right out full length -- a yard long -- she was a very long cat. She would lie like that in my arms for the longest time, totally content. She had the cutest little habit of looking at me and then bowing her head down and looking at me sideways until she turned herself over and plopped on her back. It was a playful little gesture, which she used to ask forgiveness if she had been naughty, or to just invite play or a tickle to her tummy. And it is one of the most endearing things I remember about her.

Awww....such sweet stories you all have.

[leonsmom]

It makes me so angry that cats have such a bad reputation!! -- for being aloof, tempermental, and agressive.

My cat, Leon, is the most loving, lap-friendly, gregarious little kitty -- he loves to be cradled in my arms and he loves to have his stomach pet. He is the exact opposite of how cats are "supposed" to be . . .

Maybe I shouldn't use "catty" so often to describe the divas in my life !?!?

Glad to see that so many cats out there are as affectionate as mine!

[WistfulPassage]

I have 4 cats and only one of them is aloof and even she will come up and jump in your lap at least 5 times a night.

They follow me into the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and one of them even insists on sitting on the edge of my tub when i take a bath! 2 won't let me out of their site and I often get out of the shower and step on a couple cats before i can reach the bathmat.

I wake up in the morning with a cat under each arm, one under my legs and one either on my head or on my stomache.

Cat hair has become a part of my diet- as i can't eat dinner without a cat jumping on the table.

I have an audience when I pee, a broadway musical would have less attention than i get during those times...LOL

Oh- and there are other inconvenient moments when one would prefer not to have company... Anyway...

Yes- I have 4 furry shadows.

Hello:

Presently I own a domestic female and a Siamese male. The domestic when we got her was always in my lap. She likes to lay down on top of the keyboard when I'm on my computer.

I had a another domestic, which sadly had to be put to sleep.

During his first six months with us, he used to lick me on the face every day. I have also had cats double park on my lap. I thought only dogs licked you, but I was in for a surprise.

Have a nice day.

When I come home from work, very often Juni gets into my mouth - that's how she wants luvin

She does that with my brother, even better!

[rpcathouse]

I must admit I have shadows. I have one who loves kissing. I have one who pats my face while looking in my eyes. I have many who want lap time. Some move room to room with me. Right now there are 7 asleep will I am at the computer and one is in my lap napping. I have kitchen cats, bathroom cats, TV cats, computer cats. Cats how watch to make sure I am using the sewing machine right or wash dishes right. As for cleaning out the litter boxes that duty is always passed to the youngest cat in the house. But one is always there to make sure I do it right. I have cats that sleep beside me, on me, near, or at the foot of the bed. Specail ones who voleenter to test all of my food for poision. Test the water in my glass. Decorate my clothes for work with fur. I know without them I would not be able to make it on my own because they have to test and try out everything. Plus, my heart would break and stop without the love they give.
What an empty life and home I would have.
