She used to wanna sit on my lap during TV time and sleep with me (both during winter time of Dec-Jan). It's been a few weeks now since she's done either very often. I now get that about once every 2 weeks. Does anyone know any tips or tricks for restoring that affection that was once there? Or what was your experience with that? Well, you could douse yourself in catnip. Please post results That would work! ;o) I've got some catnip spray that I use to top-up toys and some of it inevitably gets on my hand. Cat does not see hand - cat sees large soft squidgy toy to grab, lick, nuzzle ) |

It is a common problem that domestic bliss with a domestic feline slides into the rut of mundane domesticity. You can put the kit back in your cat with a surprise romantic evening. Take her to dinner at the local sushi restaurant. Then get her lightly buzzed on catnip wine, and let her sit in your lap and watch a "kit flick" (I'd recommend "Winged Migration" or maybe "Microcosmos"). Before the night is over, you'll have her eating out of your hand. |

Cats generally don't like being picked up - he could be telling you he'd unhappy. No matter how much we love to pick up and cuddle our kitties, they prefer having their little paws on the floor, so let him come to you on his terms. If he's nipping you during play he may not realise he's hurting you, so if he does this, immediately stop the play and don't give him attention - he'll soon get the message! I had a cat who used to do this when we played with her - she'd be happily pouncing away at your hand - then thinking she'd 'caught' her prey she'd grip it, sink her front and back claws into it and bite!! I let out an 'ow!!' and walked away from her - she soon realised that bit of play was not on. |

"i have one who rarely shows affection, other than wanting to always
be around when we're there but not wanting to be touched. but every once in a while (maybe once a month) he will jump on my lap and purr his little brains out and push his head into my hand. those moments are worth the wait, to be honest." Mine does that each and every night. I know he loves me but why the heck does he have to always show it when I am sleeping - He wakes me up at least once and sometimes up to 5 times a night. I usually wake up, he sits on my chest and purrs like a diesel engine. If I don't wake up from that he'll headbutt me until I do. In my cats case a little less affection or alternatively daytime affection would be appreciated. |

In my cats case a little less affection or alternatively daytime affection would be appreciated. My current cat is 13, and he somehow knows when I am asleep. If I am awake, if my eyes are open, he will approach my head area and purr. But if I'm asleep, he somehow knows this and will not. (I know this because he _used_ to, and thus wake me up. I don't think this observation is because I'm just unaware of it, as I've been a light sleeper for all the years I can remember). --Tim May |
