Do your cats have a time of day when they are the most affectionate?
I have a new routine with Mooch lately. She's my most affectionate cat. She likes to be in my lap whenever I'm sitting on the couch. She is still leary of the kids; even though she plays with DD. So after the kids are in bed at night I settle down on the couch with her and my kindle and that's our time together. I usually doze off that way before going to bed. When I get up in the morning; she's usually on the blanket on the couch. She will sit there and wait for me to come sit next to her for a couple of minutes. She's one who drools when she purrs. This morning she was slobbering all over my hand and just SO into getting her cheek and chin scritched.
I can't spend long with her then and the kids make their way out then too. But boy she took advantage!
Noodles is different with her affection. It's always on her terms. And typically she is most affectionate at 3 am. The girls don't sleep with us because of DH's allergies. But if you happen to visit the bathroom; she may very well climb inside your pants and purr her little heart out.
She also likes to come into the bathroom when I get up in the morning. I think it's mostly food motivated. But it's still funny. Saturday morning she was in there and talking her little head off. I mean really!! Not just chips and purrs. It was all out meows and she had a LOT to say. I was cracking up!! Her meow reminds me of a Siamese cat that belonged to a friends of my mother. It's not quite as loud but you still can't miss it. She can meow sweetly too. But she really had something to say and I was going to hear it! I was surprised DH and the kids didn't try to find out what the racket was.
