Are Abyssinian cats good lap-cats?

No, Abyssinian cats are not good lap-cats in the traditional sense. They are known for their active and playful nature, so they might not always enjoy sitting still for long periods. However, they are loving and enjoy spending time with their human companions in their own way. Many Abyssinians show affection by sitting near you, leaning against you, or occasionally sitting on your lap for short periods, especially when they are tired or seeking warmth.
