'just' stay as you are!

Maybe some scritches are next.

I’ve got a couple cats who never get in my lap. They will get up next to me or stand there wanting attention. But every so often it’s not enough.

Pet her, brush her, feed her treats, and tell her she's good girl.

Not only did she sit in my lap yesterday, she just woke me up! The shelter told me she can't meow,

Guess who's talking now?
I thought a stray was outside,
LilGlad speaks!

When they start talking to you, they are saying "We are family" (or "feed me, now).
