Wally is shown here in an empty wicker wastebasket, but he also loves any kind of box.
Our past cats loved to sit in our laps, but not so with Wally and Ollie! Ollie lets himself be held and loves to play, and Wally LOVES being petted, but for whatever reason does not like being held and is not a lap cat.
So, one day, I thought about the fact that Wally loves boxes so much, and put a box top lid on my lap. Wally was delighted to sit on my lap as long as he had a box there!
So, we keep a box lid near our loveseat, and Wally will come and sit on the floor near the loveseat to let us know he’s ready to sit on a lap—as long as there’s a box. I guess boxes are just his safe place, and I’m delighted Wally is now a lap cat!
