Magnetic Cat doesn’t care if the attention he gets is positive or negative / as long as you find him attractive

Sometimes when my cats are being bad, I will pick them up and cradle them in my arms like a baby and make them stay there for a while. They don’t like this very much, and I love it. Except one cat I had, Cloud, wanted attention all the time and would misbehave a bit on purpose just so that I would pick him up and hold him. I felt pretty stupid when I finally figured it out, but also it was pretty great to have a cat that I could cuddle with abandon.
