She slowly settles on your lap, kneads the dough (a.k.a. the blanket) for a split second, and purrs the night away. She&rsquo;s a gem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She makes you wonder. Why does she choose that spot? Why does she choose to snuggle with you when you&rsquo;re working rather than when you&rsquo;re begging her to give you a smooch? She&rsquo;s a force to be reckoned with, that&rsquo;s for sure. She&rsquo;s no different from other fluffers, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats are rumored to be detached, standoffish, and even aggressive at times because they aren&rsquo;t fans of anyone bossing them around. Cats aren&rsquo;t going to do something simply because you ask them to, they&rsquo;re going to do that once you present them with treats or some other form of bribery &ndash; or, when they want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to the popular belief, cats have standards. When a cat chooses to sit on you, snuggle with you, or give you the time of the day, chances are she approves of you. We&rsquo;re bringing you other surprising reasons why your feline friend might choose to sit on you or snuggle with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
