Why your cat sits in your lap

I’m Joel the Brave and I always have a lap appointment with my momma hooman, sometimes with my daddy … mostly with my momma. Yes, I am a momma’s boy. So I wanted to write this blog post on lap kitties.

Here are some reasons why your cat might do this:

• Trust and affection: Cats often choose their favorite humans to cuddle with. This is a sign that they feel safe and loved around you.

• Warmth and comfort: Your lap can be a cozy and warm spot for your cat to relax.
• Attention: Some cats enjoy the attention they receive when they’re in your lap, such as petting or scratching.
• Safety: Cats often feel safest when they’re up high, and your lap can provide a sense of security.

If your cat is suddenly spending more time in your lap, it could be a sign that they’re feeling stressed or anxious. However, it’s also possible that they’re simply seeking more attention or affection. In my case, it’s the attention and I love my momma hooman.
