Me in evening in front of TV... usually have 1 or 2 or 4 cats on me and I often sleep through the movie.
Looks like this doesn't work anymore. Someone wake me up if they ever fix it.

I can see it great and how cute this is! I usually just have one kitty in my lap. Other one is not a lap kitty at all. Sleeps with me though on the bed.
Around here, given that there are 12 cats who live in the house (11 - one just got run over on the highway, but a tiny feral kitten wants to move in and take his place) and there's approximately 10-15 ferals who live in our tree rows and/or in the garage, the likelohood of me (Crazy Cataholic) having only one in his lap (or half a dozen on the bed) is very low. They know a sucker when they see one and take full advantage.

That's awesome. Recently a feral male showed up in my backyard. I have gotten to the point where he will now take food out of my hand and he starts talking to me when I come up slowly. I can pet his head ever so gently as long as he is eating. But only for a short time and then he shies away. I'm working on it. He's all black and I want to try and have him trust me enough to at least hopefully get him in the garage as it gets closer to Halloween. People do dumb shit out here to black cats that time of year and I don't want him falling prey to any idiots. I still have a few months to work with him.
Keep working on him Deb. I have found that almost all cats WANT to be domesticated and will respond to any human who treats them nicely, eventually becoming your friend.
I assume you live in or near a city... Reno? Lost Wages? We are so far out in the country that the word "neighbor" here means a mile or more away (ranches are rarely in sight of each other on the Prairie). We're kinda one of those places where people drop off what they don't want and I can refuse no little person who asks for shelter.

North of Vegas and honestly, the area we are in is pretty decent and we have good neighbors so even if I didn't get him in, as long as he stays in the neighborhood, I think he will be fine. I am the same way. I'm already thinking of how to make a little house for him for the winter. It doesn't get all that cold here, but still. The heat of the day, he has plenty of shade here at least and there is lots of water. He likes spreading out in the grass. But I'm still going to work on it and hopefully at some point he will come inside and we can take him to our vet etc etc. He's quite sweet, takes the treats from me very gently. I believe he may have belonged to someone at some point and they dumped him. We get that a lot here. People know we are old softies in this neighborhood
I have built cat houses in the past and the funny thing is that cats will climb into a cardboard box quicker than they will bother with a $100 custom built mansion.

$80 cat house
$1 box
HA HA I hear you............Actually though, Danny kitty ( Orange Tabby ) loves the cat house and he will not let my little Meko anywhere near it. I have a smaller one on the way for her that I will put in the back bedroom/vape room.
Hopefully he does not try and "claim" that one.
Your pix show exactly the results I found. The only thing I found that was superior to the cardboard box in cat attraction factor was a miniature version of the great pyramid. I used the real pyramid specs, but made it out of plywood, set it on the deck and oriented it north-south and the cats loved to go in there and stay for hours.

And now a note to the weather weary... (yo, @inspects !)
We've been having thunderstorms off and on all week now. Started last Sunday with a forecast of "10% chance of scattered thunderstorms." 10% usually means it ain't gonna happen. What we got was a super cell, violent severe thunderstorms with continuous lightning, power went out for about three hours, rain so heavy you couldn't see 10 feet, golfball-sized hail (broke windows, removed paint from two sides of our house, dented the metal roofing) and severe downdrafts and microbursts (100 mph wind), one only 50 feet from the house that ripped several big trees right out of the ground (if that had hit the house, it would be gone with us in it), ripped the top off a pine tree and threw it 30 feet. We lost about a dozen full trees and literally a thousand limbs are lying on the ground all over our property (we'll be cleaning up this mess for months).
This was followed the next day by another one, but this time the winds were only about 50 mph. More limbs down. Two more days and another one. Getting a bit gunshy here because this kind of weather is just not normal on the west side of the state.
This one smashed the fence it landed on...

Oh that's awful. I hope no one was hurt. Sorry that you're going to have to deal with all that mess now.
Thanks, Deb, but the damage is still in process. There is another severe storm going on outside right this minute. (el;ectricity just came back on 5 minutes ago) I won't know until after sunrise tomorrow what all this one did to us.

Well damn. I will keep good thoughts going here on my end for you.
Oh and tonight the kitty let me scratch under his chin and got all lovey about it and started to purr Ya, he will be a house kitty soon enough! I am going to name him William after my gaming buddy of 9 years. Danny kitty is named after my other gaming buddy and I could always tell that Will was a little "put out" by that.
I didn't even name my kitty that name because of my gaming buddy either, I just liked the name lol. ahhh well they are "my boys" and I love em both. I think of them as my kids, soooooo had a little sibling rivalry going on there
Stay safe my friend............

How's the storms now. Have they all passed?
Went all night long last night. So far tonight, they are south of us and north of us and I am projecting a shield wall (mental image) to divert them around us. This shit is just way too stressful (if I owned a cigarette, I'd probably smoke it - somehow sucking on this vape binkie just don't cut it for high stress situations... Sigh...).
