Thread: Is Your Maine Coon a Lapcat?

Unfortunately our two Coonies are no lap cats. Nika sometimes jumps onto my legs when I am laying in my bed. But as soon as I move a little bit, she jumps off. I guess it is due to her blindness, she reacts very sensitive to movements.
Diego is a bit more cuddly, but he doesn't come to my lap either. He loves to be caressed on his neck and sometimes (only when HE wants) he jumps onto my chest, lays down and purrs.
But our domestic cat Lauda is a lap cat. He is sleeping on us at night - either on our back, our legs, the chest. He lays down where he finds a place. The main point is, that he lays ON me or my partner. He also likes to "wash" people with his tongue. I am sure, Lauda was a human being in one of his former lives ;-) He is such a special guy! It seems as if he understands every word we say, and he really really loves people :-))
