Wow, lots of threads on kitten affection!! 
I guess i won't go there and expect it a little later 
Petey does come to me and will take a couple pets but he doesn't let us hold him. I can carry him over to something but no longer than 5-10sec. He'll bunny kick us and squirm until he's free!! I also think its interesting that he sleeps in the kitty beds all by himself. Neko never used them and prefered to lay on me. At night he sleeps at the foot of the bed but a few times now I've woken up at 4am with him sleeping on my stomach/chest. ( I must not move much in my sleep 
)
When i pet him he arches his back... is this normal? I wondered if he was hurting in this area but when he's laying down or napping, petting his back is no problem. He goes to Neko for some affection though, he loves when she grooms him
We've only had him for 2 weeks!! I guess Neko took the mommy roll or something... but then here's my second concern/curiosity:
He's only 4 months, is it common for him to already take the alpha cat roll? A couple of times during some rough playing, Petey will get on his tip toes and Neko will lower herself to the ground!! She's 12lbs!! He plays with all her toys and she just watches. She doesn't even play with her own toys anymore. I also purchased a window perch and Petey already took it as his own! Neko won't even sit on it. She walks around it and sits on the narrow window sill. They play with eachother alot though, mostly chasing eachother and a little rough play. They nap together alot and as i've mentioned, she loves grooming him. She also lets him eat her leftovers as she never finishes her wet food. I've had to hold him back a couple times so she can finish eating as much as she wants.
I'm thinking that I want to seperate them for a little 15min break a day so I can play with Neko. When I try to bring out her favorite games, she shys away when Petey runs in for all the fun.
Sorry the post is so long!! Any thoughts? Normal behavior?
Thank you!
