Kuhio did the same thing to us.

We were planning a Christmas party and my friends all wanted to meet her. I warned them ahead of time that she was so shy that they probably wouldn't catch a glimpse of her the whole night.

Well, she strolled out and rolled around the middle of the living room floor for hours soaking up all the love and attention.

Kitties just need to prove us wrong! I think they derive great pleasure from it.
