I have two, Puddy (a calico) and Yodie. Both have catitudes, Puddy being the Queen, of course. Puddy likes me, that's it, although years ago there was one man that she really liked a lot but no one since. Yodie likes me, too, although over time she's become more sociable and will go to other people. But a lap cat? No way. Puddy, yes. Yodie, no. I just love their independence.
