But if I don't pet she will jump up on my chair and bother me

I love her but I wish she'd understand it's easier for me if she'd just sit in my fucking lap but she acts like doing so is torture

    buy a bag of frozen shrimp and let it thaw. rub the warm juices all over your naked body in the bathtub, let it dry into a sticky film.

    your cat will go be insane for your.touch and chase you around the house with fully dilated attack eyes.

    Have you tried scooping her and carrying her around for a minute or two whenever she demands pets

      She hates being held even more than she hates being in my lap, she gets VERY squirmy. She's sweet though and doesn't claw me, i just hold her and let her turn herself around as she "stands" against my chest complaining, lol

      Actually she will tolerate sitting in my lap but ONLY if i'm sitting on the floor by the bathtub

        Bathroom might be the most ambiently cool place in ur place, if we keep going with my theory that ur cat doesnt like to be hot

    My cat used to do that as well. Never did understand it. Like if you want me to pet you just come over here :screm3:

    Lol my dog used to do this. She’d lay literally at the length of my arm away from me and then hike her leg up and look at me like “I’m ready for belly rubs now”

      With a dog it's so much easier to just grab them though, they will let you move them around even roughly and take it as fun and games or affectionate. Many cats are just not having that at all.

        Mine was a rescue and she didn’t like to be manhandled. She never bit me but she’d bare her teeth and throw a fit if I did stuff she didn’t like. It was more just that she always positioned herself just out of reach lol. She was spoiled so I always accommodated her

          Aww. Yeah they're completely different depending on how they were brought up. I've seen some cats that let you just throw them around whereas others you can barely touch but will appreciate you even still.

        All cats I've had were fine with fucking anything. Current one sits on my shoulder sometimes, walking around the house.

      My other cat will do this but will like, apparently enjoy the attention, only to walk 3 feet away to rub her head on something while acting confused that I stopped :angery:

    My dog does this, I'll start petting her, and then she'll walk away a little bit so I'm just scratching her butt right above her tail, and then she'll take like one more step and look back at me like "why'd you stop"
