Tiger isn't the most affectionate cat - she will have cuddles when SHE wants them. But I can guarantee that after every shower I have, I will open the door and she will be sitting outside waiting very patiently, or if the door to our laundry is open then she will wait until she hears the shower get turned off and trot into the bathroom (laundry-toilet-bathroom are all connected). When she arrives, she smooches up against my leg, before I've had a chance to dry it (so now her fur is all wet!), tail straight up and she will look up at me with her big beautiful green eyes and give a loud but short meow, as if she doesn't want to seem too demanding. I'll then pick her up and she will face away from me, I'll kiss the back of her head or make kissing noises and her whiskers will stretch forwards and she will sing back to me, her front legs will grip my hand and she will 'playbite' my fingers. I am not sure why she does it, but I think that she might think it's too much like a bird sound. She usually stays with me like that for a long time, until I don't want to hold her anymore. That's really the only time she has cuddles and sings with me!
I won't indulge you with a photo of me just out of the shower! (Not that I have one!)
Masar the Siamese has cuddles in the mornings under the covers every day that he can - he loves sleeping in!
