Is your cat a lap cat?

[Kirsten]

A while ago, I would have responded with "no", but now it looks like things have changed here.

As soon as the cold season has started, Luna comes into my lap when I'm at the computer, lying on my left arm like a baby.

And since Lily had surgery, she also loves to cuddle. It looks like she has finally realized there's somebody else but Luna living in her family. Anyway, today, she has suddenly curled up in my lap while I was working at the comp.

Awww...turns out to be a good thing that Luna rejected Lily for a bit so she could learn to snuggle with you.

Tubby is most definitely a lap cat and Peanut is most definitely NOT a lap cat.

No and No.

Nakita is sooo picky. She will only be a lap cat with me, when the cold weather arrives and ONLY when I have her soft blanket on my lap!

I guess my lap alone, isn't good enough for Nakita.

Yet, she will go on Rob's lap every winter night if he is sitting watching tv in the evenings, even without the soft blanket! But Nakita will only sleep with me at nights, under the covers all year round, so I guess she uses us equally!

You could call us time-share parents!

Lovable never comes on my lap when I am sitting. But he WILL come and lie on my legs when I am stretched out on my loveseat.

Edwina is my lap sitter. I have made Eddie sit on my lap a couple of times but always under protest!

I had to answer "Occasionally!", partly because that's just a word you don't get to use with an exclamation point very often and partly because I wasn't sure how else to answer! I think Rizzo's more of a "would be if he could be." He's cuddly, but if he tries to sit on a lap, those long legs and huge tail dangle in all directions and it just can't be comfortable. So he mostly just sits right next to us with his back butted up as close to our legs as he can get. Or he curls himself around one of our feet. Or he drapes himself over the couch arm one of us is leaning on. That sort of thing.

He does love to sit on us if we're lying down!

*sighs* I wish
Blueberry has only been a lap cat once or twice.

I voted that all of them are - although Shiloh is on her own terms only (has to be her idea, hehe). The other 7 are cuddle bugs and would never get off my lap if they had it their way!

[Amber]

Yup! Maggie is now ---->Very<---- attached to me so now she likes to lay on my lap when ever she gets the chance!

Bob and Joey are both 50/50 kitties.

Bob will come sit with me, but will sit half on and half off me, about half the time.

Joey will sit with me about half the time, she will cuddle up on my lap however.

We are a multicat household and none of them are lap cats. Scout sleeps with me but she won't sit with me. Jazz and Ripley run as soon as I sit down with them in my arms.

[Felicia's Mom]

Felicia is a lap cat. Beau can be a lap cat, but would rather lay on my shoulder.
