Aha. Laura does have a fifth cat! She assured me that she did, but it's taken the better part of a week of cat-sitting to get direct confirmation. And cat #4 finally let me pet him today.
Laura is a neighbor with whom I trade cat-sitting favors. Last time I did this (about a year ago) they had three cats. Then they took in two "temporary" cats who ended up sticking around. They're very pretty from what I've been able to see (they're both Maine Coons), but we're talking about skittishness that can rival that of my cat Embla.
I might have done an unkind thing today, though I didn't realize it at the time. One of the three older cats enjoyed playing with the laser pointer the last time I cat-sat (Laura doesn't own one but I took mine over), so I brought it over today. The aforementioned cat #4, who only let me touch it today, was enthralled by the spot -- and became upset when it went away. He was digging under rugs and reaching under doors looking for it. Poor guy; that's the first cat I've ever seen who didn't lose interest within a minute or so of my turning the thing off.
I think Laura is going to have to buy a laser pointer now.

You're sleeping in her bed. :-)
Actually, I presume that she's gotten to know you, as you've visited several times. I didn't recall her sleeping with you the first time, but maybe I'm mistaken.
Whenever I crash at their place, I get a cute and cuddly female in my bed with me.
However, because we are equal-opportunity hosts, you might also get a cute and cuddly male in bed with you. Specific arrangements after that are your problem. :-) (At least I think Erik has sometimes gone to sleep with guests.)
