Tucker likes to snuggle in my lap when I'm at the computer or doing cross stitch early in the morning. Today, Thom was here to take some pictures. Tucker is a big baby, and I can't get photos when he's draped across me . :)

Oh, love him. He's beautiful.
What a gorgeous cat! In my experience, male cats are the biggest love bugs.
He IS CUTE!!! And very relaxed laying in his mom's arm.
Love.
I have my Ivan wrapped around my leg right now and purring (he likes to lie lengthways against my calf and wrap his paws around to sleep). Cats are great!

Next to orange tiger cats, I like tuxedo cats. Wish I could have one, but my niece is highly allergic.
I have a cat named Ivan too!Quote:

What a cute cat! My new young one loves to get in the bathtub after someone takes a shower and watch the water droplets intently for about 15 minutes - that's where he is now!
Awwwww i love it when they are lap cats! He looks like such a sweet boy. All my boy cats have been huge love bugs as well. It is hard though when I am knitting or on my lap top and he wants to snuggle.
I love being on vacation. I just had him in my lap for about an hour. I think I did 5 stitches on my project before he came down out of the condo and settled in on me.

My boy Ivan.
Agreed! At one time, we had both a medium-haired tuxedo and an orange tiger! Now we have two orange tigers (three if you count the feral that we feed). I'm partial to them. Our female orange tiger is quite the rarity as I understand it. Most of them are male.Quote:

Although our heart was in the right place, we made a big mistake with our orange feral cat. When we learned on Christmas night that a blizzard was forecast (the first in Indiana in a long time), we decided to lure the feral into our basement. He otherwise hangs out under our deck and we were afraid he might get trapped from blowing and drifting snow. The luring part went okay. But once he was in the basement, he managed to get from one room to another adjoining room during the middle of the night Our basement is subdivided into three rooms, only one of which our indoor cats are allowed to access. The other two rooms are separated, but there is a small hole in the adjoining wall for some ductwork. Well, the feral cat managed to climb a cinderblock wall and squeeze through that hole, presumably in an effort to escape. From there, he hid himself so thoroughly that when we tried to find him the following morning, it took a long while and, in the meantime, we both went into full panic mode. It was nuts.
We finally located him and managed to get him out from his hiding place and out the basement door. Not without some drama, but we got him out. Poor guy. He quickly disappeared for a couple of days, which totally defeated the purpose of, in the very least, making sure he had food through the storm. But he's back now under our deck and getting his daily meals and water.
We've had other reason to put our strays into the basement for periods of time--generally after they've been spayed or neutered. We've not tried to get him fixed for whatever reason. Now I know that he'll be pretty tricky to handle if we do. He's the only one of our strays that I would label as truly feral. Anyway, we learned a big lesson from this. Sometimes, there's only so much you can do to help an animal survive. I'm just glad that he's otherwise okay and that he didn't manage to escape into our house.
Is there a "like" button?!
Looks like my Pepper, but he is not much a lap cat, but he sure is a back-of-the-couch-cushion-smusher!
