The only cat I can say ever truly hugged me - arms on shoulders, etc, was a big gray tabby we had at the rescue named Romeo. Yes, he was a big love bug. I was sitting on the floor and he strolled over to me, climbed on my leg, balanced his hind legs on my thigh, put one paw on my left shoulder and the other on my right, wrapped his front legs around my neck and pressed his cheek to mine! Purring like a motor boat the whole time. Mind you, I was stunned and thrilled. I tear up now just writing this. I then scooped up all 16 or 17 lbs of him and cradled him like a baby. I had a very hard time leaving him there. He did get a good home, so I am glad.
