In reply to: Lij 's message, "Don't pet your pet cat?" on Monday, October 21, 01:09:54am

Of our three cats, one begs to be petted (Kandy), one adores to be cuddled and will begin to purr loudly/fall asleep during pets (Indiana) and one will jump up onto your lap at least once a week to head bunt until you pet him (Cole). Cole we suspect had a certain level of abuse so he's not the most affectionate cat but every morning he asks for a head rub from me at the very least.

Kandy is the only cat we've ever owned who truly hates other cats. She would love to be on her own, like that's ever going to happen!

Once again, going to respectfully beg to disagree.

Which are still "wild" - so to speak. I would say that after "assimilation" - getting used to their human(s) - that the idea doesn't apply.

I know my first cat took to me rather fast. I suspect each cat has their own personality. There is always that schizo-cat that crawls in your lap and craves being stroked then turns on you trying to scratch you. But not all cats are like that.
