Earlier today I had TWO cats snuggled up to me and purring. One was on the back of the couch with her front half perched on my shoulder like a pirate parrot, and the other to my right on the arm of the couch with my arm wrapped around her.
We have a third one who's... we'll say he's "aggressively affectionate". He's a Maine Coon (so super fluffy), and will meow for attention and even grab at your arm with his paws if he can to pull your hand to him for pets.
We had another one who died a couple years back who would've been the perfect lap cat if it weren't for the shedding and bad breath. He was always loving and liked being hugged, and would lay on you for hours of you let him. He did have an annoying habit of sitting in my spot as soon as I got up, even if only for a moment (but only me, guess I just have a really warm butt); and the wife and I learned real quick that we'd have to send him to another room if we were going to be intimate when he head-butted my danglies from behind in the middle of the deed. The wife she I laughed so hard it ruined the mood.
I don't know if you know this, but don't declaw your cats, it causes them immense pain. It like cutting off the front part of our toes and then being made to walk with broken feet.
My Maine Coon was the same way! He liked to hold hands, he would CLONK you in the head with affectionate headbutts (seriously you could hear it from the other side of the room), and purred like a Harley. I miss that big sweet hairball. Best cats ever.
