    Oooo, I'm jealous now. Not being overly endowed in the top half area, I thought it was just the boys I wasn't attracting. Now I know I have the bitter disappointment of lack of feline bum rests to cope with too !

    Our Maisie is currently out gallavanting around the local gardens! She'll probably wander in soon (hopefully) to bask in the adoration to which she's become accustomed :)

  • Nature ...... both my current 2 were hand reared by me (one from 4 weeks and one from 4.5 weeks - bit of a story with both of them!).

    Wee cat is a total lap cat & lies on my knee whenever the chance arises..... bit cat never sits on my knee but does sleep on the pillow next to me - they're all different I guess!

    Killer Cat will lie on me in bed, bum hole to my face of course but just isn't a lap cat in any other sense. She doesn't like to be picked up and cuddled and she never sits on lap. I fact when she is home she's normally upstairs sleeping on one of the beds or out killing something. She does love me......am sure of it :rotfl:

    just had to post. i rehomed my Gia last oct, and he's never slept on my lap or in my arms....... til today.

    of his own accord he came to me and climbed up, head bumped my face then lay on me and fell asleep!! he's been there for over 30 mins!!!!

    so, take hope that one day yours will too.
