Affectionate Cats

Haiku likes to sit with me, especially on the sofa.  There was a long period of time when I was not using the sofa, and I was mostly sitting in the computer room, on a folding chair, on the business chair, or on the lounge chair.  Haiku would not be happy, but would eventually settle down.

So, a few weeks ago, I started moving to the sofa to read at the end of my day, and Haiku likes that. She climbs on the sofa and curls up, not on me, but near me.  Sometimes she will sit on my lap, too.

Taki has taken to jumping on my lap when I sit at the computer.  She starts off with snuggling against me, including snuggling against my face and neck.  Sometimes she licks my face, my hair, my shirt.  But almost always, she advances to trying to bite.  I have been trying to teach her since she was a baby that biting is not okay.  Now, at least, when she starts to bite, she knows she has to get down.  Maybe, some day, she will learn not to bite

Taki also likes to climb on my lap when I am on the sofa.  She snuggles at first, but often starts to bite. And, has to get down.  She is heavy, too, and sometimes it bothers my back when she sits on my legs, as the pressure pulls at my back.  So, I have to move her. She does not relocate well.  She just leaves.
