Chris is a very touchy-feely cat and loves to lie against, or on top of, any cat or human that will tolerate it. This time it is Floki but now he is on my lap as I write this.
Does anyone else have a touchy-feely cat like Chris?
Teddy is not at ALL a touchy-feely kitty (unfortunately!)……he doesn’t like to be picked up, he DOES like to be petted (a bit) and follows me around like a puppy would, but touchy-feely he’s not. I’m hoping maybe as he ages he’ll get to appreciate laps more!
Some minutes my cat is kind of cuddly, rubs herself at my thigh next to me on the couch – and then again, she is not coming anywhere close … And I certainly cannot hold her. But when the vet got her out last year for a checkup after a teeth-removing surgery, she wrapped herself around the vet’s hand.
African Wild Cats, the domestic cat’s ancestor, are basically loners, especially the males, so it doesn’t surprise me that many cats are only affectionate occasionally. Chris has always been an outlier.
But today’s house cats are organising themselves in little groups – in villages they gather, sometimes two get along like two peas in a pod, sometimes not, but all in all – look at the cats at the Colosseum in Rome – they are more of a social animal these days.
that is too cute! Cody is our “touchy feelie” one………….but only with me. When I watch TV he has to rest his ample behind on my arm which makes my arm go numb lol

I hope so too.
I wanna borrow Chris. My cats aren’t cuddly enough. Trying to use that as an excuse to get cat #3 but I keep getting a firm, “No.”
If you do get #3, make sure she, or he, gets along good with other cats. That might help.
In the winter, the cats are extremely cuddly with us and with each other. But I think it’s a warmth thing.
I noticed that too. https://badcatchris.com/2017/12/15/photo-friday-cold-cats-warm-bed/
They’re so cute! I really like the one with Chris on top of Puck (I think)
I’m very sad Puck is gone because Chris loved him.
Yeah. That’s the only problem with getting attached. Sometimes you hurt more for the other person than for yourself.
Yes, and it’s tough for Chris because he loves everyone.
dee pendz on me mood…sum timez eye like ta chillax with de food servizz gurl other timez eye want nothin ta due with her ! 🙂
tuna of moon ~~ ♥♥
You are like our Floki.
My human is wondering where the touchy-feely cats are around here – she’s currently catless in her office chair!
I am too right now because everyone is on the catio. 🙂

You are right. They have become much more social than their wild ancestors.
Yes, Wally is just like Chris….but we think you knew that.
I think they are brothers seperated at birth. 🙂

That sounds familiar. 🙂
You’re both so cute together! I can’t wait for Beau & Kalista to always be this close ❤
That would be nice.
That is sweet. None of mine like to cuddle near another kitty.
I would think with 13 cats, someone would be a cuddler.
nice photos . i just find your blog . love cats
Thank you.
