    This is 100% my cat. She’s an adorable gremlin who I can tell absolutely loves me, but she’s also figured out exactly how long my reach is and will always settle down on a nearby piece of furniture JUST out of touch. Little rascal.

      Long time ago i had a cat like this. He would come to the door, visibly happy to see me, but no touchy.

      Never … When picking him up, he melted away. When trying to touch him, he was like when you try to bring two magnets together using the same poles.

      But he was always right next to me.

    My cat will knead and then perch herself on my stomach. But don’t I dare lay a finger on her or she’ll move to the chair. 🤷‍♂️

    Neither of my cats are like this. One is an absolute attention whore. If I’m sitting here always wants to be on my lap. At dinner he watches until I lean back (indicating I’m done) and then will try to jump on my. He’s sweet but very smothering.

    “I like cuddles, but there’s really no chance that I’ll trip you during cuddles, so I don’t want to do that right now.”
