This is Possum. I'm glad she lets me rub her belly because she's so soft.

My boy Teal'c loves him some chest scratches!

No way. That’s the “do it and you die” zone.

I think that is ragdoll thing. My ragdoll always begs for belly rubs when I leave the room. But does not sit on a lap. She likes being around people but not on people :D

Hahahaha my cat does exactly the same. Never sits on lap but puts his head over my lower leg when I lay.

All ragdolls are the same :D

Yes! My big boy cat flops down and demands them.

My sister's cat that's become the family's cat does the exact same thing. He'll do the side flop, and if he isn't getting adequate attention he'll begin to wriggle really adorably.

I had a calico who would do the same! It took years but eventually she went from being stand-offish to demanding them.

Beautiful kitty, love her coat! Is she a mix of Siamese and something?

I'm not sure of her breed. My sister found her on the side of the road when she was only a few weeks old.

I always guessed she was a snowshoe, which is a Siamese mix breed. Her pattern is near identical to what comes up googling "snowshoe cat". But I can't be certain.
