Cats are just very autistic :)

My cat will knead and then perch herself on my stomach. But don’t I dare lay a finger on her or she’ll move to the chair. 🤷‍♂️

This applies to my dog as well.

My husky is like this most of the time. Follows me everywhere but just to be in the same room. If she wants cuddles, she will demand them by scratching me and grabbing my hand with her mouth.

Neither of my cats are like this. One is an absolute attention whore. If I’m sitting here always wants to be on my lap. At dinner he watches until I lean back (indicating I’m done) and then will try to jump on my. He’s sweet but very smothering.

That’s one of my cats.

The other wants to be cuddled 25h/day.

“I like cuddles, but there’s really no chance that I’ll trip you during cuddles, so I don’t want to do that right now.”

This is 100% my cat. She’s an adorable gremlin who I can tell absolutely loves me, but she’s also figured out exactly how long my reach is and will always settle down on a nearby piece of furniture JUST out of touch. Little rascal.

They’re pack animals. You’re their pride… And their shame!
