I have to admit, Zuko is my first experience having a cat who actively enjoys being picked up and hugged, and furthermore will sometimes climb my shoulder and perch there. He’s also our only cat who will frequently, voluntarily assume the role of lap cat. As such, you can bet I took pictures!
As a bonus, I have photographic proof of the unexpected instance where June decided to do the same.
As it turns out, working with a cat in your lap, especially when the task of making sure they don’t slide off is left entirely to you, can be rather challenging. It is, however, well worth the complications. Especially when they’re purring. Loudly.
