One of mine likes to tug my bathrobe rope tie thing (hell even the whole robe lol) as I walk by her perch so now I'll lay at one end of the couch and tug of war the bathrobe rope by itself with her on the opposite side of the couch to mutual delight

One of my cats, despite being an extreme clinger, absolutely will not tolerate being picked up under any circumstance.

Lone exception? If there’s a bug she wants but can’t reach, she will meow until I come lift her up to catch it. One hand under her hind legs, one under her stomach - so she has both front paws free to pin the bug with. Fortunately, she’ll let me summon her too, so whenever there’s a moth or something hanging out on the ceiling, I yell “bug” and the cat comes running to catch it for me.

Right ol’ on-demand vacuum cleaner, that one.
