Are American Shorthair cats good lap-cats?

Yes, American Shorthairs can be good lap-cats, but their preference for sitting on laps can vary depending on their individual personality. Many enjoy being near their pet parents and choose to sit on laps for warmth and comfort, especially during quieter moments. However, American Shorthairs also have an independent streak, so they might prefer sitting next to their pet parents rather than on their laps, or they might enjoy brief lap sessions before moving on to other activities.
