[B]noah's mommy, all kidding aside, I have noticed that as cats mature their social habits, those associating with people, also change. That these changes are more pronounced with males more so than with females.

Wayne,
Actually I have had better luck with my male kitties, than the females. (if I am understanding you correctly...........?)

and
Noahs Mommy- I have one cat that is very easy going with us and with visitors (Kedi) - he is just an all around easy going cat.

On the other hand, Wylie, is lovey with us, but runs and hides when people come over. It bothers me because he is sooooo pretty and such a clowny personality, but nobody gets to see all that. I mean, how much can they see when they are crouching-down, looking WAY under the bed??!

My RB kitty (Liza) would answer the door with me, and hang-out with our company.............but she did NOT want anyone to touch her.

I think the more you have your kitty around visitors, the more they will learn to relax (don't force them though, because it could make it worse).
What we did was just let the kitties come out when they wanted to, then offered some treats as a bribe- it worked with some, and not with others.
