this isn't a behaviour problem, i was just wondering how many of you have a kitty who is really easygoing?
ive grown up around cats, and had experience with a lot of different cat purrsonalities, and for the most part, the cats i've known do what THEY want to, and if you try to direct them, they don't like it. they come to your lap when THEY want to, only want to be held when they want to, ect. which is fine of course-that's how most cats are, and part of the reason we love them. Wonton isn't like that tho-he's just the most laid back kitty i've ever had. He can be sitting on thefloor or walking around, and i can pick him up and set him on my lap-most cats would hop down-he just looks at me like "oh-you want me on your lap? ok
" and settles down and goes to sleep. which is nice, cos it means i can get a kitty cuddle whenever i want, instead of having to wait til he's in the mood. he's always in the mood
i also like to pick him up, and sort of hold him out and stretch him out a little bit, and i'll tell my bf "look at this specimen!"
he doesn't struggle, his body stays relaxed in my arms. i can also pick him up and lay him across my chest, and lean backwards a bit so his body weight is resting on my body, and take my hands away.. and he'll just lay there! he doesn't get excited or scared or scramble to get down. i've remarked on this more than once to my bf, who replies "it's because he trusts you". which of course makes me feel wonderful.
i just started thinking about this, cos i was reading this board and suddenly felt the need to cuddle Wonton. i got up and found him in lounging on the bathroom floor. i picked him up and brought him out here and set him on the cushion in my lap, where he promptly settled down..he's been hanging out with me while i write this.
tell me about your laid back kitties
