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!
