1 is when I have had to pee for the past 2 hours but have had a warm happy kitty on my lap that I didn't want to disturb but now the situation is dire.

2 is every other time.

(Continuing 1) And I start shifting my weight around trying to get him to move, while he closes his eyes and pretends he doesn’t notice my lap earthquakes.

Meanwhile the void has one half on my lap and the other half on the arm of the sofa. He demands pettings and if he doesnt get them RIGHT NOW hes going to run his mouth along your hand so you can feel all of his teeth scrape by. And no you arent allowed to leave. You are the big fat's property until further notice.

I consider myself very lucky to have a cat that's #1 like 80% of the time. I don't get very much done... but I'm lucky.

Setting 3: lap too small, will only remain to thrash in hope of increasing surface area

My cat at night when she's decided she's sleeping on my bed vs my cat during the day when she's just snuggling to get me to feed her.

My cat also has two lap settings. Morning brush? OK, I sit. Any other time? "Hell no I'm not sitting on you! You come down to the floor and pet me where you belong!"

Mine just would just hop into my lap when she was cold. I miss playing red alert 2 with her in my lap.
