I marked YES but with a stipulation.
Most of us kind of get a feel for the person asking (they better ask!), if I can tell they are accustomed to being around animals then I'm ok with it. I just show the person know the way my Jazzie likes to be held. I prefer to have her straddle the person's forearm with the palm on her chest. Any other way and she is uncomfortable and that can lead to a fall.
With younger children, I ask them to sit and place Jazzie in her lap.
If I get a bad vibe I just let the person know politely that they can pet her but I prefer to hold her. |
