I am sure its going to be one of those "that's just your cat's personality, accept it" thing, but one never know until asked!
When I first got Monet as a kitten, he was very snuggly. As he grew older, he became less and less snuggly, and now, he no longer snugs against me in the bed (he'd sleep on the bed with me, but no longer pressed against me). He'd no longer climb on my chest in the middle of the night, demanding a petting session. I'd used to be able to put my arms around him and snuggle him like a teddy bear. No more
He'd no longer sit on my lap while I watch TV either. I'd use to be able to pet him from his spot on the couch and he'd crawl on me for more snuggles.. but no more
The only sign of affection he'd show is when I wake up in the morning, he'd be close to me (most likely being impatient for his breakfast), or when I come home from work, he'd meow and beg for a butt-scratch.. but no head butting or snuggles.
I play with him whenever he asks for it (before work, during my lunch break and when I come home from lunch especially). I brush him when he asks for it. He's an active kitty. He's always in the same room as me, and never tries to run and hide from me.
I miss those snuggle moments! Any suggestions to coax him to snuggle once again? I don't want to force him, and he doesn't sit on my lap when I pick him up. Would those feliway plugins make him more affectionate?
I want my snugglepuss back!
