Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, this is very normal, and actually a favorite spot for many cats! That bend in your legs is perfect for cats to snuggle into and feel comforted, so Goldie certainly loves you and feels safe with you! I hope this is helpful :)
