In my opinion, the only thing cats love is......heat. can't sit down for a millisecond without ours jumping on lap. You leave your computer to find it kaput but tell-tale hairs where she has sat on the laptop for heat. Only time I don't see her is when the electric blanket is switched on at bedtime and she gets to bed first.
Oh and I forgot, she also snuggles up to my former cat chasing arthritic westie. He's not quite sure what to make of it!
