This cat will never freeze
I weighed this cat last night and was surprised to find she
only weighs 7 pounds. She lays on top of me every chance she gets and feels like at least 15 pounds. Every time I lay down or sit down she's on top of me quick. In the middle of the night I wake to find her on top of me, stretched out with her legs over my sides soaking up my warmth. She makes quite a bit of heat of her own and I find myself sweating a lot. I don't want to be mean to her but I'm getting tired of being a cat warmer. My old body's about wore out and can't take much more of this. That's my rant for today. Poppa M |

Personally, I love a purring cat on top of me. You can feel the love eminating from the little creature. At night, I just close the bedroom door on her, so she can prowl through the house. |

I got a small low "Parson's table and placed it on the side of my bed. I bought a heated kitty pillow to put on it. Then when she tried to sleep on me I moved her to the heated pillow. It only took a couple of lessons and she soon preferred the pillow. Good luck. MLB |

It's bitterly cold where I am. I would be glad to have a cat to help me stay warm. Sadly, my senior citizen kitty has never been much of a 'lap cat'. She spends most of the winter on her electrically heated bed. I'm sure it's much warmer than I am --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

At least not for the most part. Cats want to be close. Mine really does. I can't keep her away from me. She just wants to snooze on my lap. She is only 5 months old. Maybe you should try one that age. Mark |

Very rarely will Espy sit on my lap but it is a great honor when he does. Marlo, Nipsy, and new boy Scooter love lap sitting. |

Amber loves her heated window seat but refuses to sit on my lap. Tiger
likes to sit on my lap (all 24 pounds of him) but doesn't care about his heated window seat. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Some like to stay by themselves altogether. |

Tiger is 24 pounds? I thought my cat was big at 5 pounds! What do you have, a mountain lion? No just a Maine Coon. Luckily when he gets on my lap he does it very slowly and carefully. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |
