Awww, he's adorable. Zoey tolerates everyone, but really loves snuggling with me in my computer chair.

Yeah, this one's a lap cat too. I've loved all our cats, but it's great when they're snugglers. Tissot has a thing, though, that we say for him: "Both hands! No devices!" When he's on you, he wants your full attention. It can make getting things done difficult, but it's probably healthy that he forces us to take breaks from our computers.

Does Zoey shed much? We adopted Tissot when he was 5, and I expected him to create a nightmare for the vacuums, but strangely he doesn't really shed much, for all the long hair he has. Loves to be brushed, but we never get anything off him! Is Zoey the same way?

Honestly similar. We have two others with short hair who shed a whole lot more.

I've read it's the undercoat. Short hairs have an undercoat, and it sheds a lot. Longhairs don't (or don't have as much a one?) and so don't shed as much.

I don't care; I'd take a bullet for any of them.
