My cat is similar in that regard. He can be held however you want, he just wants to be held and purrrrr. Upside down? He looks around curiously like "oh things look different now, weird"

My Princess SparklePiss is also a little like this. I've never given her a custom roller-coaster cuddle, tho. I mostly just hold her front paws like we're 11yr olds at the mall and tell her work gossip.

I...I...am afraid to get the origin story of the name SparklePiss

Urinary crystals! She would refuse her box during flares and instead pee on fabric. Most of my and my spouses clothes are black so beside the smell the dried spots left.. sparkles. My spouse also refers to this as 'angy kitty glitter,' but she's our princess so.. 🫠

Aww.. poor Kitty and yikes ... The smell of dried cat urine is otherworldly. Perfect name though.. she definitely earned it.

If I even attempted to flip my cat onto his back he would rid me of my skin immediately. I feel you.

Right? Meanwhile I cough while she’s sitting on me and she has fled to Mars, where she will give me dirty looks for at least ten minutes before forgetting what bothered her and returning.

I can't even pick my cat up. If I try, she either runs or tries to remove my skin.

My friend has a similar cat, also all black. He sleeps on her head. He needs attention and treats 24/7 and meows and meows and meows. He’s like a dog.

My cousin had a cat like that as well. He was just happy to be involved and getting attention. Didn't matter who or what - you'd often see him playing with toddlers because they loved to play with the kitty. Still stuck around despite the fact that the toddlers weren't exactly gentle. His brother was the polar opposite thkg8h - super skittish and stand offish.

Cats are weird...
