Or maybe top three if you can’t choose (none of us can choose)

    My parents neighbor’s cat Leo likes to come visit them whenever he escapes. First he’ll come to the back door, then the front windows, yelling and pawing at them if he sees anyone around inside. After we let him in, he runs over to the designated petting chair and waits for someone to follow and sit down so he can jump in their laps and receive pets! But, he knows if it’s been raining that my parents towel him off first, and so he runs over to the towel first on those days. He’s a beautiful floofy orange cat with thumbs and really smart but really goofy

    For Oliver, his bedtime routine. Once he thinks I’m getting ready to go to bed, he’ll sit by the stairs. Once I get there, he runs as fast as he can up the stairs and then looks behind him to make sure I’m still coming. Then he runs to the bedroom, again stopping and looking. Then when I go to the bathroom he runs back out of the bedroom to join me while I pee and brush my teeth–I leave the door cracked for him and he pushes in with his head. While I’m getting ready he skitters in and out of the bathroom being annoyed with me. Then finally when I go towards the bedroom he runs and does a flying leap into the bed. (Which means that sometimes when my partner is already in bed he lands right on his dick 😅). He runs over to my side of the bed and lays down and then I slither my way in. I’m a side sleeper, so I turn over and get myself tucked all in and comfy. And then he goes up to sit on my butt like it’s his little kitty cat sofa.

    He doesn’t sleep with us all night but he almost always comes to bed with me and I just love that he has his little routine and that I’m part of it. 🥹

    She chatters at me conversationally. It sounds like one of the chittering sounds the Predator makes. She also does it when watching birds.

    “Good morning Thistle”

    very quiet meow, “Kakakakakaka” slow blink

    Her timing is pretty good so it does sometimes feel like a conversation

      Loling at the Predator sounds, it’s so true. I think she is definitely having a conversation with you!

    When I’m in bed, Percy comes into the bedroom (he can open the door) and on to the bed. Then he proceeds to thump me in the head until I lift the covers for him to snuggle under them with me. Is that cute? I think so.

    Acting like he hates the snuggles but doing nothing to get away, then looking obviously disappointed when I stop.

    Cuddling up against me while I’m distracted so when I look beside me there’s a surprise cat there I can pet.

    Hurrying me up to give him food, but once the food is served he comes up to me to give me a quick petting opportunity before he digs in. It’s my reward for feeding, him I guess. If I don’t take the chance to pet him, he won’t wait for me, so I need to act fast!

    He spends much of the day sleeping upstairs. When I come in the front door, I frequently hear a thud as he leaps down from wherever he was napping, then the sound of him sprinting while meowing, then I see him slide a bit when he gets to the bottom of the stairs & the uncarpeted floor, then he sprints over to me demanding all the pets and scratches and love I can possibly give. Naturally, I’m happy to oblige him

    Looking up at the ceiling and tilting her head when she hears scratching noises on cardboard or similar.

    If they flop down for belly pats on the ground and if we extend the hand they happen to be just out of reach they do this shimmy move on their back to get within patting distance.

    Rosemary’s cutest habit is somehow getting on top of doors in the house and yelling until I come help her down.

    Fafa’s is bum rushing any closet that’s opened and digging down into the deepest spot to sleep. Then waking up at 3am wanting to get out waking our young child.

    Chaplin’s cutest habit is being the scariest cat ever whenever anyone gets near him especially the vet, but being the biggest baby that needs his mama to cuddle him everyday.

    If I’m laying on the couch and Izzy finds out, she jumps up and curls up with her butt in my armpit. I’ve actually used that to get her out of hiding when it was vet time.

    He’ll leave the room just to come back two seconds later with a grand entrance and loud meowing to get our attention: “It is I, Sammy! I have returned!”

    He always wants to sleep in bed with me and my husband. But he always lays down next to my husbands feet, where he will be kicked eventually at night. He never even tried to lay down at my side, even if soo much space is left :,)

    When I am working from home he sometimes lays down on my mouse. While my hand is still on said mouse.

    He acts like he wants nothing to do with us, but silently follows us around in the flat, laying down wherever we spend time.

    I had an electric toothbrush that my cat loved to rub against. Every evening when I got ready for bed, he got up and went to the bathroom with me, only to meow at me loudly until I sit down with him and let him rub his head against the handle of the toothbrush while I was brushing my teeth.

    He disliked the toothpaste smell, but the face massage was always worth it haha.
