I'm slowly turning Spot into a lap cat. It's been a process. She'd tolerate me picking her up for brief periods, but didn't love it. We then graduated to me holding her tight in my lap, then gently releasing my hold, and she'd hang out for a bit.
Tonight she finally checked out the benefit of a 99° heater I've been telling her about for years, and she was on my lap for ~0.5hr til it was time for me to get up. Pic is from last month, but it's representative.
