Our cat, Surrey, won't sit on a lap and be stroked unless the person
doesn't like cats or the person does like cats but is trying to
concentrate on something other than stroking a cat.

It's statements like these last few that cause people who would never
give houseroom to an animal to think those of us who do are completely
insane.

Our rescue kitty comes searching for a lap when he hears the recliner
recline...but won't sit on a lap in any other chair or on the sofa.
Everywhere else, he wants to be *near*, but not *on.* But there's
something magic in the recliner.
We've also noticed that on my lap in the recliner, 97% of the time he
lays with his head on the north end and his tail on the south end. On
DH's lap, he does the opposite absolutely 100% of the time. He's *never*
lain on DH's lap with his head in "my" configuration. Funny how they
have their little habits and train us!

Fichu is definitely a lap cat! She also spends time on the bedspread
in our bedroom or on the windowsill or . . . . . As with others she is
especially fond of jumping into my lap when I'm stitching! :-)

This brought a smile and remembrance of my late Evil Louise, who was not
much of a lap cat, except when I was doing any sort of needlework. She
would curl up contentedly, purr very loudly, and give every impression of a
sleeping cat. Until. Suddenly I would recognize that 1. the knitting wool
was soggy, indicating that she was cheerfully gumming it on its way up from
the ball or 2. the needle had no floss in it, indicating that she had
snatched it with her huge polydactyl paws and was happily gumming that.
Miss that bad cat.
