Thumper is asleep at this very moment on his back in my lap. i can't understand how any kitty can be comfortable that way,but he loves it. And my Winnie still sleeps under the covers with me at night. i don't know how she can do that. i'd suffocate under the covers all night. hang in there.Mia will mellow. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108383 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 12:10:33 +0000 GreatDane 108383@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awwwww, she missed her mama!

I was gone 11 days and when I got back she wouldn't leave me alone. Now she and Sheba fight over my lap. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108370 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 11:55:08 +0000 GreatDane 108370@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Bobsky flops over on his side too, when I hit the butt-button, and then onto his back. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108354 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 11:44:35 +0000 Ouize in Central FL (6/19) 108354@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>None of my cats are lap cats. Squint sits on my lap for about a minute as soon as I sit down, then he goes by the window and lies down. The others are around, but usually out of reach. None of my kitties purr loudly either. I miss the loud purrs and chest massages I used to get from my beloved kitty who passed over the bridge four years ago at age 15. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108345 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 11:38:07 +0000 2 Popoki 108345@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh... and Chloe does the fall over sideways thing too, when I rub at the base of her tail. Then she stretches out long and lean (I call her my silver bullet) and the belly rub and 'armpit' scritch </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108330 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 11:24:31 +0000 GreatDane 108330@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>What - no belly rubs! My Bobsky loves belly rubs, but doesn't purr unless he's sucking his blankie and won't ever sit on my lap.</p> <p>Karin, it's just a personality thing with Sylvester. As for Mia, she's too young and full of energy. When I got Milo, he liked sitting in my lap and cuddling but as he's gotten better, he's now so full of energy, he can't sit still for long enough. Hopefully once he grows older he'll be a cuddly lap kitty, but if not, I'll love him anyway. I am starting him on the belly rubs, though, and he seems to like them. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108327 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 11:19:50 +0000 2 Popoki 108327@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Karin - my Chloe is not much a cuddler either. She'll sit in my lap, if she chooses. At night, she'll lay near the pillow on the other side of the bed, usually just out of my reach. She doesn't like to be picked up either. Last night was strange... other than her usual facial, she actually laid her front legs on my chest and just stared at me. Hard to sleep that way LOL</p> <p>You are not a bad momma.... I feel that way too sometimes when I'm not home enough. Chloe will let me know by basically flying at my shoulders when I'm sitting at the computer. My que to "play with me now and pay attention to me NOW" .... they are all different. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108302 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:59:12 +0000 anncetera2 108302@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Mia will probably settle right down once she's a bit older. I'm amazed at the difference in Violet and Mili, from about 4 or 5 months ago. When Mia was very small, it's not surprising she would have had a greater amount of cuddliness; she was making up for the contact with her mum and littermates that she no longer had available.</p> <p>Sylvester sounds like his has a malfunctioning "butt button." (That's what I refer to as the area on the back, near the base of the tail.) Sounds wonderfully affectionate, though, and he's at least sitting in your lap from time to time. Most cats won't let you rub their bellies, either; he sounds like such a sweetie! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108299 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:53:54 +0000 SylvesterMiasMomma 108299@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I guess since my first cat Whiskers liked to cuddle so much, I really miss her and her cuddling with me. Sylvester has been a love bug in a way that he comes over rubs up against my leg, I reach down and rub his back near the base of his tail which then causes him to "tip over" and flop down. I then rub his belly and scratch his head as he purrs with happiness. He will come and sit in my lap if Mia isn't being too crazy. He didn't do it last night but was sitting in my lap on Monday night. </p> <p>When I first read about Mia, they claimed she was a cuddily kitten who like to cuddle under the covers and would come when called. They fostered Mia from age 4 weeks to age 12 weeks so I guess she was recovering from living on the street for four weeks and therefore that may have caused her to appear cuddily to the foster people. Who knows, I know that she is going through the "terrible twos" currently and am looking forward to when she calms down. She is seven months so I am guessing that will occur in another 8-10 months. We will see. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108282 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:35:35 +0000 anncetera2 108282@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Karin, you're not a bad Mom. Some kitties just don't feel the need to cuddle. For instance, my Violet will probably never be a cuddly kitty; neither will Dom. They each want attention, but they aren't lap cats by any stretch of the imagination. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108281 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:34:03 +0000 SylvesterMiasMomma 108281@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, Anncetera, if you were nearby I would want to take Sweet Pea home. I really miss a cuddly kitty. Sometimes I wonder if I am a bad Mom since my cats don't like to cuddle much except when I am asleep. Oh now that is making me feel very sad. Tears are forming. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108280 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:33:18 +0000 anncetera2 108280@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OP, I'm pretty sure Mili will adjust just fine. If anything, I think she's going to like having fewer playmates and more attention from her person. She's wearing the harness just fine, meeping every once in a while for attention, and showing curiosity about Sweet Pea (not hostility). She's doing everything she can to get Sweet Pea to play with her. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108273 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:29:22 +0000 2 Popoki 108273@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh no ! Poor Sweet Pea... :( On the upside, Mili has been with other cats so this will just be 'another cat' to her.. I hope. Chloe has only seen them through the glass the past 3 years. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108272 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:28:57 +0000 GreatDane 108272@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Calling Catwoman!!!

At least as tragic as any puppy I've ever met! I swear, she'd quiver her lower lip and have her eyes well up, too, if she thought that would help her get her way.</p> <p>The kitty that Sweet Pea seems to be becoming close to, unfortunately, is Mili - who will soon be with OP. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108264 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:21:32 +0000 Karenopa 108264@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Anncetera..I'm very happy for Jellybean's placement in such a great home..I wish her many years of furrful fun. My heart goes out to little SweetPea who must be missing JellyBean terribly....sniff...What a sweet mom you are to accomodate her so completely. There's no way I can manipulate my keyboard to type when the my furrfans decide to lap lounge! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108257 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:16:51 +0000 anncetera2 108257@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Karin, Sweet Pea will not only sit on my chest and purr, she will fall asleep there. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108256 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:14:42 +0000 anncetera2 108256@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Poor Sweet Pea this morning was so insistent about sitting on my chest that, when I made that unavailable, she walked over to my shoulder and sat there for a couple of minutes (before losing balance from my movements, and grabbing to keep from falling off). </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108252 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:13:20 +0000 anncetera2 108252@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GD, who ever might that be? (She looks around innocently.) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108251 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 10:12:03 +0000 SylvesterMiasMomma 108251@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I would love to have a "chest kitty" again. My first kitty, Whiskers loved to sit on my chest and purr. It was the only place she would sit. I loved it as it was very comforting. So far only Sylvester will sit on my lap. Mia is too crazy still to sit anywhere. She barely allows me to pet her at times. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3824/page/2#post-108237 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 09:57:33 +0000 GreatDane 108237@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Or she could send a representative.....hmmmmm.....
