Taki - The Lap Kitty

So Taki was not raised as a lap kitty.  From an early age, she has enjoyed sitting at my feet when I am on the computer.  Most recently, though, she has started sitting with me when I am sitting on the sofa.  When she was little, she used to like to get on the back of the sofa and eat my hair!  What was that?  I don't know.

But recently, Taki has started sitting on the arm of the sofa.  Sometimes, she will climb on the back, and even sometimes she will eat my hair again.  I discourage this practice.  In the last few weeks, she has started sitting on my lap while I am reading. But she extends her claws and digs into my abdomen or legs.

Tonight, she did something that I find amazing. Taki has not learned to keep her claws in.  But tonight, as I was sitting at the computer, Taki crawled up onto my lap without the use of her claws.  She sat on my lap for more than 40 minutes.  A couple of times she would grab or nibble my hands, but she only scratched me once.  That was truly amazing.  How neat!
