Callie the Lap Cat

It's been about 8 months since I adopted Callie. (I think anyways, I need to look up the exact date to refresh my memory.) Callie has not been much of a lap cat since she's lived here. That is until last week. I'm not sure why, but all of a sudden she's turned into a big fluffy cuddle muffin. Callie has made the transition to a lap cat! In fact, she's sitting next to me as I write this.

I am sitting in this lady's lap by my own free will. 

One theory I have about her transition is that it's been a little cooler lately and she wants to stay warm. Or maybe she's tired of lounging on her cardboard couch and wants to sit on the real couch now. She likes to change up her hang out spots every few weeks I've noticed.

Anyways, I couldn't be more excited that she's been sitting in my lap over the weekend! Although, it's quite distracting and hard to get work done.

It started last week when she decided she was going to lay next to my oldest daughter on the couch. She did this all night, all weekend long. She does already do this on occasion, but it's been more frequent and for longer periods of time.

Then, she started coming to sit in MY lap to grace me with her warm fluffiness. She will sit there until I have to move her next to me (which I hate doing, by the way). If I move her, she will lay and sleep next to me. Before this, she had only come to sit in my lap twice. Ever.

It's hard to tell where this ball of fluff begins and ends. 

Another reason this excites me is that she'll do it even if Shiner is in the same room. She's still very weary of the dog and moves around cautiously if she's around. Shiner has been pretty good too, sitting on the couch opposite of us in her favorite spot. She does look jealous sometimes though... I told her that if she didn't try to chase the cat, maybe she would have a kitty to cuddle with too. ;)

View from my lap. Those Barbies had a crazy party, so that's why my house looks like a wreck. 

So as you can see, this new lap cat development excites me a lot. If you follow me on Instagram, I hope you enjoy pictures of cuddly calico lap cats because that's what I've been posting lately!

Do you have a lap kitty?
