My first cat, Misty, does the same thing Ritz does. Sits on her hunches and waves her front paws at me, crying...asking to be picked up. When I do pick her up, she wraps her front paws around my neck and rests her head on my cheek, purring the whole time. Needless to say, this is so endearing she doesn't have to walk much--she gets carried instead

When I pick Terra up, she insists on being held like a baby (on her back) and often puts her paws on my mouth. Personally, I just think she's telling me to "shut up and enjoy the moment"

What would we do without them?
