I find this categorization very odd for Spike. He's very playful... he wants attention to play, not to be pet, not to give affection, but to run and jump around. Anyway...
Your cat's a Hugger
That's right, your cat's the type to stay near you 24/7 (or at least know where you are at any given moment). They might even be closer to you than your own shadow! It's not that they're needier than others, it's just that they're driven by so much affection to spread, they can't wait to share it with you — whether you're on the sofa, or making the bed, or running a bath...
