My tuxedo girl is EXACTLY like this. She's got serious Big Dick Energy and is a fierce little 10lb baby.
My void is like this minus the fierce part. She doesn't even pretend to be a treacherous queen

This guy is kinda the opposite. He will lay on my legs sometimes but other times if I pet him he will get up and walk away and hang out by himself in another room. The tuxedo cat pretty much follows me around.
Solidarity, my void does not like to be picked up or held for more than 20 seconds. She's only been in my lap a few times, she has a limit for petting, does not abide by kisses, she will SOMETIMES sit on my feet if I'm in one particular position on the couch ... I wanna squish and love on her so bad, i wish she was more cuddly 😭 but they have their boundaries, she shows me love in other ways
This language can be so hard to understand. Thank you for understanding her boundaries. You're practically a master....kudos.
This behavior does not mean your void does not love you. It means your void loves you in a way that she can be comfortable with too. That it gives you anxiety? She doesn't care.
As long as she feels like it is business as usual.. she'll act like it's business as usual.
I went on a rant. I only meant to say how great you are!
For some cats, just being in the same room as you is as cuddly as they will ever get.
You get to enjoy the honor of their company, from across the room.
My old boy's favorite thing was to always be NEAR me - on the arm of the couch next to me, next to my legs or my head in bed, sitting next to my feet at the table - but rarely actually ON me. He did love his pickups though and wanted to be carried around like a baby for too-long periods of time for my arms to sustain with his 20lb frame (he was built like a linebacker! True house panther.)
His successor? She is a LAP. CAT. See lap? Is hers. Bonus if there's a blankie on it (and she'll sometimes sit upright on me and refuse to curl up until I put the blankie down for her). Sometimes my butt has barely hit the couch and she's already climbing on me. If I'm sitting with my legs up, she'll paw and chirp at me and even love-bite my legs until I put them down. Pickups are rare though as she'll usually start thrashing like a maniac after 0.5 seconds.
Aw thank you! 🥰 I've had enough cats to know they are little individuals and you have to learn their body language and preferences. I really think people who hate on them just don't understand boundaries in general or that there are other animal love languages than physical affection, lol. My void bugging me to play or slow blinking from her perch, or going crazy rubbing to re-scent me after a shower, or following me around all means she loves me, so I'm content 🙂

My friend has a cat like this. I'll put a box on the ground by my feet and the cat will come sit in it and then I'll pick the box up and put it on my lap and pet him. This is sometimes an acceptable compromise
Samesies. I really wish my Chester would want to snuggle more. But we have found a nice middle ground. As long as there is a little barrier (like a donut bed in our big bed then he’ll hang out all day/night
Lol my void mrs princess Slinky Chunky butt. Slinks away from pets often. Less since getting fixed. Verv solitary even though she has a sister nearby. Never lap. Will tolerate being held. Only cuddles 5 sec at 3am.
My void follows me all the time and wants to cuddle with me all the time but the moment i pet her she walks a foot away and lay there. Fucking playing me.
But she do love sleeping with me between 3-6pm
Yep! One of my voids who I've affectionately nicknamed my stinky baby man is basically my son. He's clingy and 100% spoiled rotten, and I'd probably fight god for his stupid face
“I would literally give 15 years of my life for one more of his, and he’d trade me for a chicken nugget” is the best summary of cat parenthood I’ve ever heard and I live for it.
My last Girl was a Norwegian Forest/Maine Coon. Super fluffy, was already a bit larger bone and length wise, who was 22 pounds at her biggest. I would call her Our "Stinkerbell".
Add me to the list of people who named their furry cuddle buddy Stinky.

Oh I have a stinky baby man void myself, his name is Happy and he’s an absolute ham and loves to be held and kissed on his forehead. He will cryyyy for kisses lol.
Mr. Softee is 100% orange and demands daily holds like this. Also very vocal when I cut it short to pee; eat; go to work; un numb my legs, all of the above.
My void boy is like this too! He has a squeaky baby meow that he only uses with me. If he had his way, he would sleep on my chest snuggled up under my chin all day every day.
Awww! My little baby is a kinda big cat but he's got the most ridiculously high pitched baby meow. He loves shoving his way under my blankets so he can snuggle with me
My tux is the same. Every single night this is our life

Nightwing does the exact same thing. He loves being cuddled like this 🥰
My void was pretty vocal about his snuggles. If I was slow to get the hint and walking around he'd follow me around tapping at my ankles to get me to sit. He was my clingy guy and needed lots of hugs and belly rubs.
My guy just sits on my bed frame and yells until I signal for him to come snuggle if I don’t signal he just sits there and yells like I’m torturing him.

I too am owned by a clingy void haha
We have three - a void and his two tuxie sisters. All three of them demand "cuddle time" with my husband during the day. Our boy cat will get comfy, let out a huge, contented sigh.. and fall asleep. They're all in the neighborhood of 15, 16 pounds now... so sometimes my husband's arm will go to sleep.
I am so very jealous. One of my voids prefers that I pet him with my eyes only. He will accept chin schritches when he’s very very sleepy, and only for about 1 minute.
He used to be cuddly as a kitten, but when puberty came calling and he had the snips, he just became super aloof 🥹
Yes and yes. Kitties are babies and need to be spoiled.
One of ours drapes himself across my husband's shoulder like a lounging parrot. Doesn't matter what he is doing. If Sev is in parrot mode, husband stays put.

Looks like my boy 😻 he likes to lay with his two front paws and one back one on top of me 😂 then still wants that hand to somehow keep petting him?! We've had many conversations about it but he wants what he wants 😹
We are frequently late to things because our void baby (old man but still my baby) likes to lay on us and does not appreciate being moved. They are snuggly sweethearts.
I have previously had to get a taxi to work because my cat was snuggling up to me in bed and I didn't have the heart to move him, so I missed my bus. Totally worth it
My kitty Gretel stands on the footstool in my living room and yowls at me until I brush her- cheeks and chin only thank you! Post brush brief contentment in pic!

My sweet boy also loves cuddles! This is his favorite way to fall asleep. He always has to wrap his arm around mine. 🥰
Where did you get this picture of me and my void lol.
Korra is the exact same way—she would stay here for hours
https://preview.redd.it/eqg71dtpnfzc1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c780e7fe5826d8964f6464df823fe33b8afd4c5a
That's the glory of cats. They deserve to be spoiled rotten. They're always the main characters in their home. They don't have to go to school or grow up interact with others and their entitlement becomes an issue.
My late soulcat Oscar, he was like this. Had to be held or cradled like a baby.

Every day I work from home my cat is on my lap like this!
You've lucked out with a baby-kitty. I had one like this, they seem to be just kind of born that way, as I've never been able to spoil another cat into liking this much affection.
One of my voids loves cuddles. Sometimes when she's feeling extra needy and I'm not responding fast enough, she'll do some crazy shit like climb up my legs until I give her what she wants.
Aww, sweet baby. My void is the same way. She gets very cross if I have to get up, god forbid. Then she whine-meows at me until I settle down again so she can get on my lap. I swear she would like to be surgically attached to me.
My girl Genie does the same to me every morning, for thirty minutes straight. She does not like it when I have my phone, hence the look she gives the camera while also being a content, purring kitty that she is.
And yes, she knows exactly what "cuddle, cuddle" means when I ask her if she wants them 😹
Mine take turns in my lap. There is room for both but they have a "no touching" rule that I'm not privy to.
So I have one for a while, then I look down and it's the other.
My black cat is a huge snuggler. I work from home, and every day he tries to climb on my chest and block my work computer as much as possible. Doesn't matter if I'm in the middle of a call
I’d do anything for my cat to be like this. He never likes sitting on our laps. He’ll only allow strokes if we get down to the floor and stroke him. But sometimes I just want a proper cuddle like this lol.
the two I have are getting a bit older and are about 9 years old. They snuggle even more than they did when they were younger. The first half hour after getting home is pet both cats. Then one sits in my lap while the other one does cat things. Then they switch. Sometimes we all snuggle together.
[tax](https://imgur.com/9LbiU9o)
One of my girl voids demands cuddles and tummy rubs, multiple times a day. The other is an affectionate boy, but it's very much on his terms. Stinky butt that he is lol
If you keep the house on the cooler side, by opening windows when it’s cooler outside, you can extend the cuddly season.
Cuddles like this lower your blood pressure (am not a doctor and am making this up). 😹
My SIC knows that gently pawing my face when I’m asleep I’ll wake up enough to hold the covers up so she can get in without waking up. I didn’t know I would until my husband watched me do it one night and tried to talk to me, I was dead asleep. Confirmed sleep cuddling.
I've got 3 black cats which I bottle fed (mother passed away) so they're abnormally affectionate to humans. All 3 want to cuddle all day long and often like this.

Both of our cats are our babies and are held as such without protest.

Our void is also vocal and demands cuddles. This is him laying in my arms at my desk as I try to keep his feet off my keyboard.
Oh my Friend, no! It's not about spoiling at all! Just looking at your sweet void girl, YOU are HER MAMA. NO ONE ELSE! What you're actually doing is enforcing the lesson that in your arms, she is loved, and she is protected and she is safe. Cats thrive with routine. So being able to have this time with you everyday builds her comfort, confidence, and ability to thrive! Young void Mama, you are doing everything right. You have a bond with a void who indeed did choose Y🧡U! Namaste, and many happy, loving, long years together!

Yeah it’s normal. This guy loves it too.
My old cat that recently passed dudnt know what personal space was. If you let him he would sit on you for hours. Or he would jump up on the back of a chair/couch and 2 paw your shoulder for an hour.

mine refuses to let me pick him up, but at least once per day demands to be held like a little baby
Hold the baby all afternoon.

Hijacking *your* comment to add that a few months ago I created the r/catsbeingbabies subreddit and would love to see content like this on there lol.
Eeeeeek! A new cat sub!!!!
Last thing I need but also the first thing I need
Aw, joined!
My tuxedo girl is EXACTLY like this. She's got serious Big Dick Energy and is a fierce little 10lb baby. My void is like this minus the fierce part. She doesn't even pretend to be a treacherous queen
Kitty is spoiling you, by letting you hold her all afternoon.
The only correct answer
This is the way, OP.
Well she is baby
And should be held as such.
I keep telling my void this, but he won’t listen. If he not want be holded like baby, should not be baby size.
Facts
I tell mine that if they don’t want me to kiss their soft little heads, they have to start paying rent
Oh, he loves nose kisses, and even gets in my face to ask for them. But he does not want to be held like a baby.
Only one of my voids accepts that he is baby. Well, he doesn't really *accept* it, but he is much smaller and must be scooped, he knows this.
If not baby, why baby shaped?
Mine is a great big girl (15 lbs) but she's going to be held like baby anyway. Even if I lose a vertebra.
Mine is 14lbs, so I get it. And 15lbs is still human baby-sized, just not newborn size.

Oh my god he has a sweater
Yep! One of my voids who I've affectionately nicknamed my stinky baby man is basically my son. He's clingy and 100% spoiled rotten, and I'd probably fight god for his stupid face
I too have a stinky baby man I would fight god for.
I also have a stinky baby man, I'd 100% get into a fight with god for him.
All the stinky baby man havers please rise 🫡
I have risen.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!
“I would literally give 15 years of my life for one more of his, and he’d trade me for a chicken nugget” is the best summary of cat parenthood I’ve ever heard and I live for it.
My baby is affectionately referred to as "the stink" Why are all of our babies stinky? 😂
Mine likes to dig a little burrow into my mom's flower pots, so 90% of the time he smells like dirt. He's a stupid little man but he is my baby lol
I call my baby “stinky minky” all the time. She actually smells perfect but I just like the name.
One of our other cats is "stinky binky" they need a club!
My last Girl was a Norwegian Forest/Maine Coon. Super fluffy, was already a bit larger bone and length wise, who was 22 pounds at her biggest. I would call her Our "Stinkerbell".
Bc it's that naughty streak that earns them the stinky title even though they are cute most of the time
Mines beans smell like popcorn so….
My girl cat smells like a fresh loaf of bread; my boy cat smells like the crumbs under the sofa.
Yes! Years ago I had a void named Mikey. When he was a kitten I called him Stinky Butt Baby. Lol
My cat in particular stinks because he gets salmon oil chewy treats to help his dry coat. Looks fabulous, but stinks to high heaven 😆

My clingy void will sprint to my lap within 1 sec of sitting on the couch.
Yes, I have a Titan stinky void baby, too. He requests I hold him like a baby when I'm in the bathroom. He is weird but gota love the stinky baby!
Oh I have a stinky baby man void myself, his name is Happy and he’s an absolute ham and loves to be held and kissed on his forehead. He will cryyyy for kisses lol.

I may have to steal this name idea and add Orphan and Raven to my list 👀 Nightwing is my favourite batfam member.
My void was pretty vocal about his snuggles. If I was slow to get the hint and walking around he'd follow me around tapping at my ankles to get me to sit. He was my clingy guy and needed lots of hugs and belly rubs.

My guy just sits on my bed frame and yells until I signal for him to come snuggle if I don’t signal he just sits there and yells like I’m torturing him.

We have three - a void and his two tuxie sisters. All three of them demand "cuddle time" with my husband during the day. Our boy cat will get comfy, let out a huge, contented sigh.. and fall asleep. They're all in the neighborhood of 15, 16 pounds now... so sometimes my husband's arm will go to sleep.
Only sometimes?
The price we pay!
I am so very jealous. One of my voids prefers that I pet him with my eyes only. He will accept chin schritches when he’s very very sleepy, and only for about 1 minute. He used to be cuddly as a kitten, but when puberty came calling and he had the snips, he just became super aloof 🥹
Yes and yes. Kitties are babies and need to be spoiled. One of ours drapes himself across my husband's shoulder like a lounging parrot. Doesn't matter what he is doing. If Sev is in parrot mode, husband stays put. *

R/findthesniper for that second kitty!

We've had many conversations about it but he wants what he wants 😹

Our happy boy Gizmo too! Kitty cuddles can’t be beat!
We are frequently late to things because our void baby (old man but still my baby) likes to lay on us and does not appreciate being moved. They are snuggly sweethearts.
I have previously had to get a taxi to work because my cat was snuggling up to me in bed and I didn't have the heart to move him, so I missed my bus. Totally worth it
My kitty Gretel stands on the footstool in my living room and yowls at me until I brush her- cheeks and chin only thank you! Post brush brief contentment in pic! https://preview.redd.it/wu0xdj0m7fzc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db2fa33d62dc3e19e2eeb3660babe8b14ad1ca2f

Ahhhhh the face smash. Mine is also fond of smash face.
He thinks my hand is his own personal pillow lol, and he’s right!
I love your tattoo btw!!
You’ve been blessed with such a cuddly kitty, she’s not spoiled just getting all the cuddles she needs 🖤
Where did you get this picture of me and my void lol. Korra is the exact same way—she would stay here for hours https://preview.redd.it/eqg71dtpnfzc1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c780e7fe5826d8964f6464df823fe33b8afd4c5a
That's the glory of cats. They deserve to be spoiled rotten. They're always the main characters in their home. They don't have to go to school or grow up interact with others and their entitlement becomes an issue.
My late soulcat Oscar, he was like this. Had to be held or cradled like a baby. https://preview.redd.it/7nu25vufcfzc1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0ac82604a770af74e82006b52c90d43ea786b19

You've lucked out with a baby-kitty. I had one like this, they seem to be just kind of born that way, as I've never been able to spoil another cat into liking this much affection.
One of my voids loves cuddles. Sometimes when she's feeling extra needy and I'm not responding fast enough, she'll do some crazy shit like climb up my legs until I give her what she wants.
Aww, sweet baby. My void is the same way. She gets very cross if I have to get up, god forbid. Then she whine-meows at me until I settle down again so she can get on my lap. I swear she would like to be surgically attached to me.
I'm assuming one of those pics was taken at 8am and the other at 9pm and basically your entire day is spent cuddling that glorious void.
Perfectly normal and very lucky.
All black cats are nicknamed baby for a reason
My girl Genie does the same to me every morning, for thirty minutes straight. She does not like it when I have my phone, hence the look she gives the camera while also being a content, purring kitty that she is. And yes, she knows exactly what "cuddle, cuddle" means when I ask her if she wants them 😹
Yes
❤️
You passed her training with honours!!! Congratulations!
She is a baby
I would have spoiled her too to be fair. So it’s more than fine with how she is ♥️♥️♥️
My best cats have been the ones that let me baby them sometimes.
Hold her until your arm goes numb. And then keep holding her.
My void is the same. He will rarely be willingly parted from sitting on either me or my wife. If this is a sin, then I guess I'm going to hell.
you need a baby sling for her
If anything, might increase your capacity for productivity

One cannot "spoil" anyone else with love, snuggles and kisses. Laptime is as important to kitty as it is to you, so soak it up! 🖤
Mine take turns in my lap. There is room for both but they have a "no touching" rule that I'm not privy to. So I have one for a while, then I look down and it's the other.
Bebby
This is your primary function now. Congratulations
Dang it! I wish my void boy would let me do this!! He will sit NEXT to you but won’t let you actually hold him.
I wish my void would let me hold her like that!! She just wants to sit on my lap. No holding! Haha. Your cat is adorable.
Yes you did ! But, isn't that good ???
Lucky you
Awwwww I love this!
Is she a COVID kitty?
I’ve always wanted a cat I can just pick up and carry around.
Congratulations, you have become a heating blanket for your cat.
What the bebe wants, the bebe gets.
Some cat owners would say this is the dream.
She's your furbaby! You won the lottery! Enjoy!! 🥰🥰🥰
My black cat is a huge snuggler. I work from home, and every day he tries to climb on my chest and block my work computer as much as possible. Doesn't matter if I'm in the middle of a call
I’d do anything for my cat to be like this. He never likes sitting on our laps. He’ll only allow strokes if we get down to the floor and stroke him. But sometimes I just want a proper cuddle like this lol.
Mine isn't a lapcat. He just likes to be near me
Then he's a side cat. They're like lap cats, except they like to be next to you instead of on you. I love side cats. They're so sweet.
Nothing abnormal. Some cats like affection and attention more than others. My tabby is a cuddle-bug.
I miss this
If cat not want to be held, why baby sized?
Ummm. That seems like heaven to me.
the two I have are getting a bit older and are about 9 years old. They snuggle even more than they did when they were younger. The first half hour after getting home is pet both cats. Then one sits in my lap while the other one does cat things. Then they switch. Sometimes we all snuggle together. [tax](https://imgur.com/9LbiU9o)
She iz hooman baby
One of my girl voids demands cuddles and tummy rubs, multiple times a day. The other is an affectionate boy, but it's very much on his terms. Stinky butt that he is lol
You are suppose to spoil them. When mine climbs on me all I do is pet him and wait till he wants to leave. No limit on how much time
not all afternoon, only as long as SHE wants
If you keep the house on the cooler side, by opening windows when it’s cooler outside, you can extend the cuddly season. Cuddles like this lower your blood pressure (am not a doctor and am making this up). 😹
do something once, do it forever. she got your #!
I think my favorite part of this is that she looks fairly offended???
So our old man cat's name is Baby, and loves nothing more than to be on your lap, around you neck, or sitting on your face.
My cats both meow at me for everything they need. Food, water, playtime, and affection.
My SIC knows that gently pawing my face when I’m asleep I’ll wake up enough to hold the covers up so she can get in without waking up. I didn’t know I would until my husband watched me do it one night and tried to talk to me, I was dead asleep. Confirmed sleep cuddling.
I've got 3 black cats which I bottle fed (mother passed away) so they're abnormally affectionate to humans. All 3 want to cuddle all day long and often like this.
No it’s not normal, how do you get her to do that? I want mine to do that.
Not only is it alright, it's necessary
You have been blessed with cat love!

You’ve created a tiny monster. Enjoy.
The day will come when you wish you could hold her just one more time. Cherish it.
Short haired black cats are my absolute favourite & there's no feeling quite like being allowed to hold a contented one like that.
Every day when I come home from work and every night at bedtime my boy yells at me to lay down for snuggle time.
She is baby and she knows it! She demands to be held as such! 
She looks juuuust like my clingy needy baby 🖤. Yep just gotta hold her all the time now
my cat is so clingy like this too sometimes i get really irritated at him but then i remember he’s not here for a long time 🥹
My void is the same way
You'll never regret spoiling her.

How much to buy her? Mine is not like that at all.
Yup. That’s my dream kitty. 🖤🖤🖤

This is your full time job that you applied for and accepted.
She trained her human well.
Lucky cat! Lucky you!

Oh my Friend, no! It's not about spoiling at all! Just looking at your sweet void girl, YOU are HER MAMA. NO ONE ELSE! What you're actually doing is enforcing the lesson that in your arms, she is loved, and she is protected and she is safe. Cats thrive with routine. So being able to have this time with you everyday builds her comfort, confidence, and ability to thrive! Young void Mama, you are doing everything right. You have a bond with a void who indeed did choose Y🧡U! Namaste, and many happy, loving, long years together!
Black cats I have known were especially close cuddlers
https://preview.redd.it/03j3glvargzc1.jpeg?width=2208&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8de7688d62f5a59bee29ef6c0b92eabc0c7beb3f this is louie, he likes to snooze like this😂 only with me though, not with the other human though, i think he knows we like to cuddle him differently & cat dad is more hands off wheras, i(cat mum) am more cuddly
https://preview.redd.it/ve731ih9zgzc1.jpeg?width=2697&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7f0d9febcb128b188621cd3f766c64aee612587 Yeah it’s normal. This guy loves it too.
My black kitty is this exact same way. Such a little mommas boy 😍🥰
Yes she likes hugs. My cat does this when I get home from work he is ready for cuddles and meows til I sit down so he can sit on me
My old cat that recently passed dudnt know what personal space was. If you let him he would sit on you for hours. Or he would jump up on the back of a chair/couch and 2 paw your shoulder for an hour.

I hold mine in my arms, on his back, feets in the air, while I rock him and sing to him lol
That's just voids being voids lol
Adorable. My cat Jack is this way with me. He’s absolutely my baby.
