Neither one of my cats would sit on my lap when I am watching TV. Then a couple of weeks ago, Blondie started jumping up and doing just that! She will even do this during the day on the weekend if I am sitting in the living room. She has also started licking and nibbling on my finger tips! They were separated from their mother and left at a shelter before they were 8 weeks old, so maybe that has something to do with licking my fingers. Grace wants contact, but sitting on my lap is too confining for her. She keeps coming to me and meowing for me to pet or brush her. They are both hovering around me and becoming so affectionate!

Could it be the cooler weather? Raiden seems to be more loving as the nights get colder! Now he wants to lay on the footrest on my recliner. He only does this in the winter time. Bought him a super soft baby blanket yesterday that he loves. It's always great when a cat suddenly decides to come onto your lap. The only two times Raiden did it was before we actually took possession of him. I think he was trying to win my heart. Enjoy the loving, Jill!

Last night was the first cool weather, mid 70s when I went to work today. Prior it has been hot and steamy. It is pretty special when they sit on me. Yesterday I laid down on the sofa and Grace took a little nap on me and Blondie was on the table behind the sofa within petting distance. They hovered around me all weekend when they were free to go outside on the patio. I keep wondering if it is because they want me to feed them more.

Well, Jill, you have put them on a diet, haven't you? LOL. Maybe their way of making you feel guilty! Enjoy it while it lasts. Cats are weird sometimes when it comes to affection.

There is always a chill in the air in my house -- must have leaky doors or windows or something. But I even feel it. We keep the temp at about 68 degrees. Raiden definitely gets chilled. I plugged his heated bed in but he still prefers laying next to me on the recliner on his soft baby blanket. Before you know it, I'll be complaining about the heat of the summer!
