My cat, who unfortunately died long ago, would like to get on my lap or on the keyboard when I was on my computer. I like friendly cats, but I've heard that most cats act like they could care less if you're there or is that just from memes?
Some care, others seem like they don't care but they actually do. It's just that everything is on their terms.
While I suspect my cats are usually just looking for warmth when they seek my lap, it would be very difficult for me to conclude that my cats do not care about me. I've felt different levels of connection with different cats. I lost my Annie about a year ago and I still miss her. She did not necessarily need to be on my lap, but usually liked to be close by, at least in the same room. She ruined my sleep on a nightly basis though as she at some point would come in and need to sleep by my face. I was always happy to feel her soft fur against my cheek.
They really do very. Some are lap cats some don't want you looking at them.
I've been told that being shy or unapproachable is a genetic trait.
I think it may be, at least to an extent.
All of mine have cuddled or sat on my lap - laid on the keyboard. Come to bed and found a limb that's their favorite to wrap around or be near for warmth.
Some have been more standoffish due to circumstances prior to my getting them home. But that can change with time and care.
That being said there is that occasional one who is standoffish period. Just born that way. Just like a human who doesn't much like other humans. lol
I had a cat a saved from the "humane society". He was shy and I didn't think anyone would adopt him. He was never a cuddler unless he wanted to be warm, but he was comfortable and I was happy to have given him a home. At some point in the future, he served as a uncle to a kitten who preferred to be with cats for the first several years in her life.
Our two always want to be on a lap. On the keyboard, or in one's case, tending the printer/fax/scanner... they always want to be in the room with you.

Posted by LaurenI thought this was an accurate representation of how we feel every time we remember our last cat, which happens often when my daughter and I laugh over our current cat's antics.
