Holding like a baby

My cat rarely lets me hold him like a baby. However, the past few months, he will wake in my arms on most mornings. I absolutely love it...I think it reassures me that does love and trust his momma!!! Two summers ago, after I had been hospitalized for a break down, ever since I came home after that, he insists on laying between my arms when I at the computer when he gets the chance. If I'm especially doing homework, though, I can't let him do that. It is the sweetest thing in the world to me. He has become more of lap cat over the past year too. Too bad he won't let my family and friends get close to him, but that's usually the case with a cat...a cat is typically a one person cat. Strange, isn't it?

Nope, not really. Our babycat doesnt want to be carried like a baby. However, I can carry him like his paws would be on my shoulder. She likes it a lot. She's not a lap cat either. But she's getting there.

I hold my cat like that, too. I'm the only one he will allow to do it, though. He's not generally a really affectionate cat, but he does like to sit on my lap when I am on the computer. Everywhere else though, he would rather sit beside me or just in the same room and not cuddle.

Our bottle baby, Oliver, will crawl into our arms and then flip over. He just TRUSTS we won't let him fall! Generally we won't, if we realize that he's going to do it before he rolls and falls! After he's over, he'll lay there so long as we don't touch his tummy. We can scratch his chest, but no lower. He's clam happy that way so long as we stay away from the tummy.

My cat likes to sit in my lap, be petted, and she sleeps on my bed every night but she doesn't let me hold her like that. She's a little skittish so maybe she gets uncomfortable not being able to see what's going on? or i think maybe she just doesn't like lying that way...not really sure but she can't stand it, just jumps right out of my arms. Otherwise she's very affectionate though!
