My Sammie arrived super-duper affectionate at 3 months. Followed me everywhere. As she approached a year, she became less than interested in me and would ignore me or run away if I tried to pick her up for loving.
At a year, she changed and started following me around again and became very vocal - we had a great relationship. Someone told me that her prior behavior was like a teenager trying to show his/her independence.
Here is the deal: I would love to have her avail herself of my lap, but she has not done that since she was tiny and later recovering from spaying and then a few months afterward.
Has she outgrown the lap loving? Or will it return or can I do anything to promote her being a snuggler on my lap?
She regularly snuggles with me in bed at night, so she does like the contact and the love.
