I've mentioned that Buster is staying inside more often.
Buster is also a very clingy cat. Very insecure, and likes to be in
close contact with a person. For a long time that person was me.
Buster would join me at the computer and sit in my lap (actually, he
still does). When I pick him up, he cuddles close to my neck, and hold
on tight to my shoulder (oh yes, have I mentioned he has sharp and
pointy claws?). If I try to let him down, he digs those sharp claws in
deeper (!!!).
Well, Buster has been snuggling up to Senyah, who isn't used to a
clingy cat - Presto (RB) didn't really like Senyah, and Little Feet
doesn't demand much attention from her.
Yesterday, he laid up against Senyah all day. So close, that when she
got up, Buster fell over (grin).Today, he has been lying across one
leg, with his head in her lap.
When we go to bed, Buster has been taking naps on Senyah's tummy or
legs.
Senyah *says* it is somewhat irritating, but I keep telling her that
it means Buster loves her, and likes to be with her.
He's still clingy and insecure, but hey, we love him.
Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

Yes, my dad used to complain about the cats being a nuisance. I sure that is
why he built them a cat tree and carpeted a wall and fed them cheese in the
evenings........

Aw, that's sweet, Mark -- our former feral, Tucker, still shows some similar
signs of insecurity, too. He'll climb in my or my daughter's lap and burrow
his head into our chest or elbow for reassurance. He still sometimes gets a
short time out when he acts aggressive to some of the other kitties but I
always go in and reassure him that he is forgiven and loved.
