To add on to other’s stories- my cat will come and hop into my lap 100% of the times I call him, even on another floor, and I didn’t even train him to do this, he just really likes my lap.

Sometimes he does cute stretches on the way to me, or makes mrrps and other sounds to tell me he’s coming (and I assume ask if there might be treats, because one time he mrrp’d and I somehow remembered that there were treats that exact moment like two years ago) but yeah. Cats can come when you call them.

I’m suspicious of this story because the cat came over. The cats awkwardness gene would have awakened and the cat would have become immediately aware of the awkwardness of the situation and would have known that the correct course of action is to stays put for maximum embarrassment.

Then demand feeding.
