My persian, Maddie, is very affectionate, and friendly. She demands a lot of attention, sometimes at 3:00am!! I just got her a couple of months ago and she was 5 yrs old. She took to me immediately, but actually she will take to anyone who will brush her.A very sweet cat! She is alone in my house so I am not sure how she would get along with other cats, but I did let her and my outside cat,Jazzie(mother of 5, I am so proud!!) touch noses and they both seemed content.
