I was surprised my cats weren’t sitting on my lap, so when they were close to two years old I started holding them captive for very short periods while petting them how they like, and now I can’t keep them off me. It seemed like the only reason they weren’t sitting on humans before is that they didn’t think it was safe.
Aww, yeah, cats are like that. It speaks volumes of people who can earn their complete trust.
That’s not my case here, as we treat them with utmost respect. I actually have all of them on my bed right now, but they just don’t tolerate being cuddled that close. One of them does like kneading and sleeping on us, but It has to be on his terms or he doesn’t want it.
Yeah, that’s what I figured they were like and why I was content to let them be if they didn’t want to sit on me. We just kept having these moments where they clearly wanted to snuggle, but seemed to be afraid I would crumble beneath them and shatter their tiny paws to dust. We’re getting to a point now where I can even adjust my position underneath them, but only sometimes.
