I find similar types of behavior with my two cats (brothers from same mother and father, different litters).
One of them loves to crawl on my lap when I meditate and he usually does not do that at other times.
With one qigong teacher (not SFQ), she had a very mean, territorial and xenophobic cat (especially with males). But she would often come and sit on our laps when we meditated.
I take this kind of phenomena as very good sign.
