Its not like the one's I see don't move just they tend to find a comfy spot and relax he does that sometimes as well but likes to move around more. He will curl up in blankets on my bed and it's really adorable. If I ever thought he was stressed I would put him up as soon as possible I never like to see him stressed he makes me feel uncontrollable love for him and I only want the best.
Awesome answer!!!

I actually just had this discussion with my fiance last night. I can't read them to know if they're "happy" or "enjoying themselves". But I can identify stress or discomfort. And all the ways you mentioned are the same I was telling her about last night.


My BPs are both pretty chill. Sometimes I place them down on the couch and they literally don't go anywhere. Other times they'll try to sneak under the cushions or a blanket. One is more inclined to explore than the other, but both will typically explore a little and then plop down next to me or on my lap or chest if I'm lying down.

What you're describing sounds like a more curious example of a BP but nothing uncharacteristic by any means. Just like us, some are more active then others.
