This is a bit strange. A person adopted a beautiful ginger tabby-and-white cat from Michigan Cat Rescue but they returned the boy whose name is Jacque (French for James I believe). The reason: he is a lap cat. Normally people like their cats to be lap cats because it is nice to have your cat on your lap as it creates a closeness in the relationship. Why would a person dislike a lap cat (please leave reasons in comments)? I am not sure such a person is suitable to adopt a cat. Or is that being unkind?
Here is the story from Michigan Cat Rescue.
His new guardians looks nice and happy:
Reasons why a person does not want a lap cat
I speculate why a person does not want a lap cat (can you think of more reasons?):
- She does not like cat fur on their clothes
- She does not like being forced to keep still for a long period
- She likes to read the newspaper on her lap!
- She has to move her legs often because if she does not they ache
- She has another cat who is a lap cat and can’t adopt another lap cat
I am not sure that any of them are good reasons for rejecting a lap cat.

They are idiots! What a mind fuck for the kitty.
People are just nuts. Frog is a lap cat, side cat, stomach cat, neck cat, foot cat , under my arm cat. And yes sometimes I really wish she would not jump on me at 3AM with her full 14lb body weight and coo in my ear I love you mommy. But such is life and I shift her to a good spot and we go to sleep. Mercy must lay on a certain part of my arm which often when already hosting Frog becomes difficult. We are further burdened when Mook joins and wishes to tread on my kidneys before flopping over. Toad will then stand on the floor by the bed running back and forth wanting to be petted. I am surrounded by love how could i dump that at an animal shelter.
