When your cat demands to be petted and loved

Do you give in? I'm talking about when they get ALL sorts of cute, doing upside-down kitty faces and stretchy arms and wiggling back and forth, and even if you're busy it's impossible to resist the force of their cuteness?

im lucky if he gives me a chance to refuse lol! if he wants to be petted he usually jumps up and stands between me and what ever i am doing and doesnt back down until i give him the attention he wants lol! most of the time tho he just comes over and plonks himself on my knee and refuses to move lol!

Hi There, I would say I usually give in. You are right, they are hard to resist most times. The problem with my cat though is once you start, he will never leave you alone. He will start meowing very loud and scratching and jumping up and down on me. It taks about an hour for him to finally go away! cheers,

Yeah, cats have a tendency to dance on you if they want something...

How can I resist? Waffles cat does that to me when I'm trying to sleep, even after I pet her and give her a good-night kiss.

If Rygel wants loving you'd better expect to give it. He JUMPS into your arms from the floor! "Dish out the lovings MOM!"

We just added an adult neutered male cat (Yossarian) to our household. He thinks he's the "Great White Hunter". He's so goofy, he's irresistable. Petting him is as addictive as heroin...I think I get higher off it than he does. As independent and aloof as he tries to be...one scritch behind his ears and he turns into a purring tub of goo. God...I LOVE cats!

Neutered male cats are just about the friendliest creatures ever. I know what you mean, too -- cats have hidden "purr buttons" on them, once you find it, it's all over!

Oh, I absolutely have to give in. My cat is made of sweetness and love, and deserves all that attention ;) Even when I'm busy, I still find myself putting aside whatever it is and picking her up and cuddling her. It seems to satisfy her for a little while... but never for long!

Heehee. :) My cat just appreciated the extra attention so much she stole my seat when I got up to pee.
