Am I just lucky or are all MC's like this?

Buddy can be cuddly and lovable when he wants to he, loves getting his face right into mine. Unfortunately this is normally at silly o'clock in the morning. He does like laying in my arms like a baby having a belly rub but unfortunately he is a bit big for this to me comfy for either of us now :(

When he's not in loving mode hes ............ **********CENSORED**********

Enjoy your kitty, when's the next one arriving hee hee. I can't wait til January when my little Princess arrives.

With my two Roxy is the snuggler and Hector likes to curl up by you on the sofa when the mood takes him! Both of them will let you pick them up for a cuddle and will churp to you and expect you to churp back........bless its so sweet when Roxy does it to Freddie!!!

When did you say the next one is joining the family & what colour...? I really need to have a smoke to help complete my colour spectrum...x

Haha next one will be joining when I buy a house. Landlords aren't keen on cats. Mine doesn't know about my 3rd. Seems I forgot to tell them... Oops!!!

Colour-wise, I'm with you. A black smoke! I like the ones with the black faces and really light ruffs. So cute.

I'm very lucky with my non-MC's too. Both cats love to lay next to you but will also claim the lap whenever they can.

Can I just say again how precious Leo is. 2 secs ago he jumped up next to me with a big (special kitty milk) milk moustache. Purring his little head off he was! Happy bellies in this house!!!

Yeah my non Maine Coons are all over me LOL, but Roxy just isn't especially into the snuggling...

Our last kitty Storm was half MC. He was very demanding of our attention. If hubby and I were sitting close on the sofa, Storm would meow at us until we made space for him to sit between us. Storm didn't want to pick just one of us to lean on. He was very lovable and had to be in the same room with us all the time. He did not like to be held. He only wanted to lay or lean on us and not be held. He did sleep in bed with us. Our new 4 month old kitty Whiskey is lovable too. He sleeps on our pillows at night. Whiskey will start on my pillow then move to my husband's pillow and wind up in the middle of the bed between us the rest of the night. Whiskey also has to be in the same room with us. He loves to nuzzle our faces and knead our heads. The first few days we had him he would knead our heads while we were trying to sleep at night. His little needle nails hurt. To think most people spend a lot of money for scalp massages with acupuncture thrown in.

**Abbey** · 1st September 2011, 03:54 AM

Haha that's so cute. You could send Whiskey out to work to earn his keep. Massages and acupuncture. Could also clone him, sell his clones and make some money from a kitty with those talents

I will clone Leo and sell his clones as professional eaters, mess makers and singers. That boy wolfs down his food, enjoys moving everything everywhere (because apparently a clean house isn't fun for a kitten) and is as vocal as anything.

But I still love him!!! He is perfect!!!

Oh as far as being a crazy cat lady... At 26 I started with one cat Sneakers our senior kitty...then we got Roxy and when we were waiting for her to be old enough to come home from the breeder I found a feral kitten (Church) who happened to be just a few weeks older than Roxy so they grew up together. Then when Roxy and Church were about a year old I found a litter of seven three week old feral kittens in my backyard. So I had a grand total of 10! I found homes for 3 of the litter eventually...

I do have to say that I found with my girls that they do not want the cuddles to begin with,I always think of them as being the more independant & busy nature of the two sexes but in her later years you couldn't have wished for a more loving snuggle bug than China RIP,Pansy P will come a lay beside you on the chair but doesn't want a lap,the only time she comes in close for snuggles at the moment is when she joins you in bed but has only done that on a regular basis since we have lost China but I am hoping settee cuddles are getting closer,if you stand with her & cradle her like a baby she purrs & goes into raptures,sit down with her & its oopps got things to get on with....
