And some are happy to anchor you down as long as you don't give them the idea that you are in any way in control of the situation. Perhaps by petting them a slightly too possessive manner.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

They do both seek me out for petting, it's true, and Jackson is fine with sprawling across my legs when I'm in bed as long as the decision is his rather than mine.
Camo is so much smaller than either (like barely more than half their weight) that it may be more physically comfortable for her to be picked up. I can easily support her with one arm, and both her hind feet fit in the palm of my hand.

Camp sounds Pumpkin sized. Loki requires both arms. And is being an asshole. Broke some pottery, luckily epoxiable, but now my house stinks of epoxy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Matt, I assume that Sammie seeking me out for pettings is a result of a similar depth of affection as Harvey leaping into my arms to be held, just that she is a non-hugger and he is a prodigiously huggable cat.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Finn has gradually started to enjoy being held, which is lovely because he is so very, very soft. Eddie is a snugglebug to the point of being a pest.

While Loki is definitely the 'making you my bed' cat, Pumpkin regularly ambushes me by climbing me. And not talking about the post shower shoulder ride; full on climbing up my clothes to plead in my face. She was super needy tonight; no idea why.
