    We have two cats; the big orange one generally doesn't come near me, but he sat in my lap for about an hour last night (he's usually a daddy's boy). The little grey one, however, has been even clingier than usual lately. She slept next to my pillow last night and has basically been either in my lap or crying to get up in my lap nonstop for the past three days. She's always sort of been "my" cat, since I protected her from our mean orange boy when we first adopted her. I think it's sort of cute how she'll lean into me if she wants a hug--I've never heard of cats wanting a hug before.

    Do your babies like to snuggle with you?

    Both the cats love my husband the most but when he isn't around they cuddle with me.  I have a cat under my arm right now.

    The older one is a black tuxedo cat and the younger one is a grey tabby with a few cream colored tortoise shell spots.  She's a torby (tortoise shell/tabby).

    Well we have 45 cats here. Some are hard-coire ferals and I can't get within 6 feet of them. Some become tamed and are real snuggle bugs.

    @MissAsB: Oh man, I love tuxedo cats (and torties, of course!). We have two tabbies.

     

    @bluespurrs: 45? Sounds like my kind of place, lol. Our little grey was a feral who was taken in by the Humane Society before we saved her. She was way skittish for a few months, though. She still hides whenever someone comes to visit, though she loves going over to see my grandma.

    He loves to snuggle, but NOT WITH ME. He is constantly in Joe's lap, and never, ever in my lap.

    @ILikePink: Holy crap, that does look a little like Dorian. :D We're trying really hard to get him to lose weight (but not too quickly, of course)--we have him on 1/4 cup of food twice a day, but I think he's stealing from our little cat. Bah.

     

    @MrsE.ToBe : I know, it's so nice to have a cat that loves you. :)

    My kitty only likes to snuggle when he thinks I am unconscious, or if I am bogarting his favourite blankie (even then it really depends on his mood, and if he thinks I might touch him).

    Our puppy LOVES to snuggle, but is not allowed on the furniture, so she tries to climb up your legs as best she can and plops her 60lbs+ on your feet.

    Our pup can't get enough snuggling! Seriously... he'll follow you around until you sit down long enough for him to wedge himself into some crook of your body, ha!

    Only when it's cold, lol!!  Sigh...I sometimes wish our kitty liked cuddling a bit more, but we take what we can get.  For the first few months after we adopted her from the rescue group, she was too scared to have anything to do with us. She's come a long way, though! In winter she'll curl up on our laps (bonus points if we're under a blanket), and she sleeps cuddled up by our legs.  If it's summer, though, nothing doing.

    But she always comes running when we get home, and is constantly licking our fingers and toes. So she shows affection (or something) in her own special way.

    I wish!  I love it when my dog snuggles, but she is like the queen, and she has to be absolutely comfortable or she will go to her room to stretch out.  (Yes, she has her own room, but it is only the laundry room where her bed is :)   )  She used to sleep with me and I taught her not to move (so that she wouldn't wake me up), but then along came DH, so that's why she has her own bed now.

    Yes, my kitties are total snuggle babies. One came from the shelter that way, ready to love every human being she ever met. The other one was really unfriendly and standoffish for the first two years of his life, but he came around as he got older. Once he discovered the joys of cuddling with mommy, he lives for the attention now.

    Our animals liking to snuggle is the understatement of the year.  Our dog follows us everywhere and will sit on us, lean on us, put his head on our neck if we're laying down facing away, everything.  The cat needs a little bit more space but he either lays on our feet or leaning against our heads while we sleep and lays in our laps a lot throughout the day.  They even snuggle with each other.

    @meliss: If our dog wakes up, he moves like he's embarrassed. But my cat absolutely loves our dog.  Sometimes actually our dog will get up and move toward the cat and then sit down and then the cat proceeds to clean the dog's ears, back, face, everything.  I'd never seen that before.

    Two furbabies, both dogs. My bigger dog, Kobe (lab/pit/sharpei mix) is a super snuggler. He likes to get under the covers on the bed, he likes to sit on your lap on the couch. He's about 75 pounds, so it's a tight fit, but he's so cute you can't deny him.

    My smaller dog, Marty (aussie shepherd/cattle dog mix), we think possibly may have been abused and has always been a bit more skittish. but has turned into a snuggle bunny as well. Just not as often as Kobe.

    They also snuggle with each other, which is of course all kinds of adorable.

    My dog is a crazy cuddler. She let's us carry her around like a baby.  She's only 15lbs, so we can.  The cat is affectionate to my SO (she is his, after all), and only snuggles up to me when he isn't home.  And even then, that's rare.

    My cats are weird.  The male will snuggle with FI all day, every day, and he cries when FI leaves.  He is also jealous of me.  When FI talks to me, Loki will start "talking."  The female, Freya, only likes to snuggle with me (FI is too rough) but only on her terms.  They snuggle with each other all the time (they're brother and sister).

    The male will snuggle with me and play "happy feet" on my bladder at 5 am.  He doesn't want me to sleep anymore past 5 am.  He doesn't want anything to do with me once I'm up; he just doesn't want me in bed anymore.

    Only one of them likes to cuddle. Autumn is a total lap dog and she is absolutely beside herself if no one is paying attention to her. All she wants to do is love and be loved. She's always in a lap.

    Kona I think so badly wants to be loved but just isn't quite there with trusting people enough. She likes to lay on the couch w/ us, but on her own section of the couch...same w/ the bed.

    We have two furbabies and they are both massive sooks who love to snuggle.

     

    SO brought my baby Masumi for me a few years ago when I was having a horrible day and fell in love with her through the pet store window, she's a shih tzu x chihuahua who follows me everywhere, tries to sneak up into the bed when no one is around so she can roll around on her back with her head under the blanket sniffing it and cannot focus on anyone else if I am in the room or if she can see me. She's the biggest mumma's girl and will bark at me if I don't pay her the attention she is after.

     

    We even do webcam photo shoots:

    Then there is Rocco, my man's baby who he baby talks to and invites in the bed all the time even though he is a Ridgeback x and is huge! Rocco isn't really too fond of me unless I have food, he will seat with SO on the lounge all cuddled up but if I am there he will seat there like this and just stare at me for stealing his Daddy lol

    My dog is usually attached to my hip but every now and then the shar pei in her makes her want to be independent and she'll just lay on the couch all by herself.
