We call Chris Mr. Needy because he always needs to be touching someone. Some cats need to be an only cat but Chris could never survive without company.

like Nelly… he always wants to be close to Phenny…too close LOL
Sounds like you have a Mr. Needy too.
My two prefer to pass in the night, spo to speak, though they are brothers. I think ginger tabbies tend to be more social and “needy”, making them lovely kitties to have around! (I hadf a ginger tabby I called Louie. Louie was a huge kitty boy – almost 24 pounds of solid muscle! He thought of himself as a kitten, I think, because he had a habit of hopping onto my lap, a painful poroposition until I learned to always have a pillow on my lap, just in case Louie came by! Once, when I was in my comp-uter chair, he hopped in my lap and we both fell backwards in the chair. He was a great kitty, and is much missed even 7-1/2 years after he died.)
Chris is 18 pounds and he hops on my lap without notice, too. If I am lying in bed, he sometimes will lie across my neck almost choking me.
Oh dear! I know the feeling, though. Louie was one of those cats that walked up and down my body whern he thought it was time to feed the kitty. When that didn’t work, he’d put his butt in my face and wag his tail on my head. That usually did it! Ugh! His successor kitties, Andy and Dougy, have similar strategies, but they are half the size. Until Dougy puts his fuzzy Persian butt in my face and wags his feather duster tail on my head, I generally can ignore him at kitty feeding time!
I had a Doberman who would drool after all her other begging strategies failed. That always worked.
lol! That would work on me. I had a pooch that worked the table that way, too!
Wally is the same way. Maybe an orange thing??
It does seem that way.
Gorgeous photo.
Thanks.
I’m not sure how Teddy would be with another cat as far as needing to be close……he’s not needing to be close to me or David – Sammy loved to be on my lap or legs. My two ginger boys like night and day. It does make for some sweet photos when you have a “needy” cat though!
Hugs, Pam
You could get another cat and see what happens. 🙂
None of us are quite that “needy.” Binga and I have our moments, but I think Binga actually prefers snuggling with the humans. Boodie kind of does her own thing.
Chris will snuggle with anyone with a heartbeat. If we had a pet porcupine i’m sure Chris would try to snuggle with it.
being subtle isn’t his strong suit, but being ADORABLE is!
He may be naughty, but he sure is sweet.
The sweetest.
Awwww… what a sweet picture ! Purrs
