Well, cats are odd, their behavior varies wildly from one cat to the next.
I've met and known two bobcat domestic mixes.
One was mine, the other was a neighbor's.
The difference was night and day.
So it's hard to predict cat behavior.
But some breeds are predisposed -not sure if that is the correct word- to affectionate behavior.
I've heard that Ragdolls and Wiry Rex cats are affectionate.

My bobcat mix loved to be combed and brushed, she enjoyed being fussed over, and most long haired/ medium haired cats do as well.
According to the website Ragamuffins have a sweet disposition.
(read as attention and lap hogs, a good trait actually)
And heavy boned, pretty tough, and long lived.

CC is a "Daddy's Cat"?
Unfortunately, that happens at times where a cat sees the spouse as an interloper.
Usually if the cat was there before the spouse, but also in a few cases where the cat 'switched alliances'.
Experienced that once, not pleasant.
The missus was pretty ticked that her cat 'hung out' with me more than her when we were dating.

Our (his) cat became his because I disiplined him and the DH did not. I feed him and the DH gives him the special treats. LOL

Anyway, this cat does not like anyone but us. He will not hiss or spit, but just run away from anyone but us. So, the grandkids first words were CC (simple to say) but he will have nothing to do with them.

So, I want a cat of my own without a paranoid attitude.And one who likes the grandkids, too.

I have heard that to know a kitten's nature...is to turn him over and rub his belly...and if he purrs...that is the cat you want.
