Abyss 🖤🖤🖤 He doesn’t like to cuddle, but within 5 minutes of me laying down on the couch he does this. Every time.
He only ever sleeps on my legs.

Me too, I have some of the same as you! Cephalopods are so rad, and so are back cats!

I do the same thing but with whales 🐋 I have whale slippers. Whale tapestry's. Whale plushies. Whale coffee mugs. Everything whale.
I live in Missouri and have never seen a whale irl :(

My girl void is kind of like this. No cuddles but will plop against my back or legs and then leave after a few minutes.

Yep I have a void boy that would rather die than get cuddled but every night without fail he jumps up and snuggles down between my knees

I really want to know why you have the octopus collection. I see you saying you love them, but I'm wondering if there's a reason. (We have at least 4 ourselves, just curious).

That is an amazing collection of stuffed octopuses. We have the marigold-colored one too, and also a giant red one. (And, also, a black cat!)

“I’m NOT cuddling with you…..it is simply my time to sit….on your legs….that are in my sitting spot….But do not move your legs!!….”

I read somewhere that sleeping by your legs is them being protective of you. I kinda believe it’s true. My orange boi always slept under my arm but when I got a flatmate he started sleeping at my feet. One time her bf came home late at night and he was ready to go at the guy!

I have a couple of voids from the same litter. Personalities are night and day. She will find me, and pluck at the covers until I let her in, and she snuggles up and goes to sleep.
Her brother, is not Mr. Touchy Feely. Unless he wants to be. Then he presents himself by flopping into or beside your lap, and peers at you pointedly.
You are now to pet. No, continue. Keep going, I've got a few more minutes to grace your lap with my glorious personage.... (30 mins later)... 'K, bye.

He likes to make sure he's only giving you affection on his terms, none of this "laying on the human's face" B.S.
I love this round-headed little guy you have. Please give him some of his favorite attentions and/or treats for me <3
