though even the paws on your leg showed her affection for you. I get it - back in December I adopted two big gray brothers, 4-1/2 years old at the time. Chet warmed up immediately and got in my lap almost as soon as I took them home, but Dave was much more shy. He spent the first couple of days mostly under the bed. After a couple of months he was following me around and talking to me, but never got in my lap (even when Chet wasn't occupying it) - until just a few weeks ago. To my great surprise and without fanfare, he got up from where he had been napping on the couch, strolled over to me, hopped into my lap, curled up, purred, and went to sleep. I was just thrilled! He still doesn't get in my lap as often as Chet, but he still does now and then and it delights me. Both of them sleep on their backs on warm days, which also tells me they feel safe and at home now.
There's nothing like having a cat who loves you.
