My cat insists I hold his paw while he sleeps on my lap. Never once has scratched me. It's a very trusting relationship kind of thing.

My cat does that a lot. She also lays her head on my hand sometimes while she sleeps like it’s a pillow and it feels like the most pure thing in the world.

How many hours can you sit still so that you don’t disturb him?

A little backstory on this guy: 2 years ago my girlfriend and I had another cat that wasn't getting along with our roommate (so to say) so we gave her away to my grandma who had just lost her cat as we felt she would appreciate the new company and it was a good compromise for us to continue our living situation, still be able to see the cat and make an old gal happy.

Flash forward a few weeks later my girlfriend was still fairly sad however having to give up her furry friend and we were driving through Philadelphia sitting in traffic to get on rt 76 to head out of the city for dinner and who do we see walking up the side of the highway on ramp limping and all dirty and by himself but this new guy here?

Immediately put the car in park, stepped out and grabbed him, and took him home and got him cleaned up and a warm meal. As the say the rest is history.

He ended up losing a part of his tail (which just fell off one day) as the vet could best guess at some point he had been run over by a car and it must have just caught the end of his tail and broke the bones and killed off the nerves and there was nothing we could do except let it heal naturally as it would and keep it wrapped and sterilized properly.

Today he is happy and healthy with 2/3rds of a normal tail and gets along great with me and my girlfriend and our dogs.

Edit: here's some more pics of him since a lot of people have asked. The first 3 are fairly current (if he's not on me or my gfs lap as he currently is while we watch Parks and Rec, then he's either with the dogs or on the dogs beds being the boss of the house.) The last 3 are him the first week we had him. The one pic of him on the chair you can see his broken tail as he waits to see the vet.
