Hair, we got one like that, too. She has a pretty fixed routine, minimal touching prefered, our old neighbors' daughter has her brother, exactly the same size and temperment, but she's ours and I think (I hope) in her own way she is happy or at least content.

When he first showed up, as a stray, he was quite standoffish... liked to be pet but not picked up.

He has warmed up quite a bit now, and always sleeps on or near me at night. I think cats find exactly the kind of contentment they want to have.

My brother's cat likes to watch (and get in the way of) any project we are working on (especially in the shop)... but doesn't want to be touched. just wants to be nearby.
