Not a lap sitter
I got Tawney from Animal Welfare in 2003. (I don't know her age
because the records are contradictory. My veterinarian said she was probably about 3.) She won't touch people food and she won't sit on my lap. |

Tomtom,
She's a cat. I have one (Cherry) who wouldn't deign to touch any of us-- until about two months ago. Suddenly she started sleeping at the foot of my bed, then lying with two paws on my shoulder-- she's very affectionate and possessive! It only took four years, and she still won't do it when there are other cats in the room! Remember Kipling's "I am the cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me." Cantate |

Some cats are just not lapcats, Bagheera, who will be 3 in July, is very affectionate but has never sat on a lap. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |

Then she'll sit there and purr for hours. Smokey, on the other hand, won't get OFF My damn lap. --Fil |

She won't touch people food and she won't sit on my lap. For a long time, Oscar wouldn't touch my lap. Then she would only maybe, very skittishly, get on my lap if I had a blanket covering my legs. Now she jumps up onto my lap the instant the blanket is in place and stays put, "surfing" me if I am sleeping. And she'll even sit on my bare (well, covered with pants) legs sometimes, if I've just gotten home from work and she needs to tell me about how starved for affection she is. I've had Oscar almost all her life, and she's about 5 now. All of these changes have only happened in the last 2 years. Tawney may change her mind about being a lap cat. Cats move on their own mysterious time scales. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

He does like to eat a bit of lettuce when I prepare it for myself. Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek |

Not a lap sitter
Tomtom, that is an interesting statement. I had never thought of any of our
cats being or not being lap sitters! Aggie Marble, never. She was a feral cat as a kitten and young cat, she doesn't, and may never do laps. Victor and Mr. Pumpkin only do my husband, David's, lap when he is sitting the lounger leaning back. Often they will be in his lap together. No other laps at any other time. Our cats don't eat people food either, they don't want it. Tawney will come around on her own schedule, that's what cats do! -- Charleen Mr. Pumpkin Aggie Marble Victor Velcro "Tomtom" wrote in message oups.com... I got Tawney from Animal Welfare in 2003.
