Anyone else cat do this?

[Toddlerteaplease]

Only sit on my knee if I'm in a specific place on the sofa. She's not say on me for weeks. But now in the corner of the sofa and she's on my lap again! 🙄🤔

Your cats are chonky. I like them.

One of mine won't sit on my lap at all, but he'll snuggle next to me. My girl prefers Daddy's lap but will perch on mine occasionally.

I see Cheddar is occupying the teepee in the background there!

My cat won't sit on laps. I adore him but he is just not that kind of cat.

@TheLightSideOfTheMoon Magic is no longer Chonky, she's skin and bone now. But still healthy, fortunately! Apparently she was obese before.

Mine won't even get on the sofa unless very specific conditions are met, DH moved from his usual corner seat to the opposite end (so still close enough to stroke her), dog banished to his bed, blanket straightened (she would prefer an entirely fresh blanket but will settle for smoothed and straightened) and everyone sitting back so she has optimum space to jump up. The most ridiculous thing is how well trained we are, as soon as she approaches DH and I jump to our respective duties like the minions we are

I have ...
fervent lapcat who won't share a bed
fervent bedsharing cat who won't sit on lap on sofa
One who is very balanced, cuddles anywhere, any time !

@Delilahonabike that made me laugh out loud.

Most of our cats will only sit on my husband much to my annoyance!! They time share his lap which makes us laugh - they pretty much do 15 minute shifts, and if one overruns their time the incoming lap sitter will stand and glare at them until they move.

Rosie will sit on me no matter what. Launches herself with a loud MIAOWW I'M HERE! Doesn't matter if it's 32 bloody degrees, she wants her cuddles and nothing gets in her way. She also insists on bombing my Zoom language class every Tuesday 🙀

One fervent lap cat - who also likes to be picked up, held like a baby, rocked & sung to.

One fervent couch / bed cat who likes to walk up & down us shouting loudly to wake us up . If that doesn't work he tries shaking my arm. If that doesn't work he does a sneeze / spit thing into my face.

Ours are never lapcats though Female cat with sit next to DH and harasshim while he WFH . The look. The pawing . Then the claws . He;s learned to give her attention between the Paw-Claw stage .

Male cat leaps up on the sofa when DH vacates it .
He used to jump on our bed at 5am but stopped when we decorated , he doesn't like change .
Past week he's started again. He sat on my chest , being unreasonably heavy for a little cat . Purring at me . It did not feel reassuring . More like Yes , I;m here . Pick the bones out of that

I've currently got both of them sitting on me. They've never done that before. I'm completely incapussitated!🥰🥰
