do they curl up, or lie straight out between your thighs? How tall are you? LOL. All my life, all my cats have curled up on my lap. Recently it occurred to me that when Daisy lies in some other people's laps, she stretches out straight. I finally figured out that it's because I'm so short! (5'). My thighs are too short for her to stretch out. But on taller people, she can. How about yours?

My cats lay however they want. In fact, if some part of me is in the way, they start pushing. I am like a gigantic hot water bottle.

My two miscreants don't sit on my lap.

LOL. I know that feeling of being a big automatic warmer who serves at the pleasure of the cats.

Moxie walks on me, too. Instead of jumping off the end table, she'll step into my lap & walk across me & jump down. And when I'm in bed, she walks on me. Sometimes I wake up to find her sleeping right on me. I don't know how she gets up there w/o waking me.

Most of the cats I've had haven't really liked having their bellies rubbed.

Kind of jumping in on an old post, but...

I'm 4'9" and my cat will lay on my lap. She also likes to lay between my thighs/legs, on my legs, on my feet, and on my butt. When she gets into her super-snuggly mood and I'm laying on the couch, she'll lay in my arms and stretch out. If I'm lying on the couch on my side, she'll sometimes lay on top of that side, but then she has to move cause it hurts. LOL My cat just loves being with me, so she kind of lays all over me at different times.
