Do your cats favor you or your spouse over each other? For instance.. I am convinced Saki likes my fiancee more than me *sob* lol. He gives him way more head bonks and licks and kisses than he does me. In the morning he comes to lay on Jim's chest and frantically licks his face, eyes, chin, nipples (
) and then he'll come give me a bonk or two, and eye lick frantically, but then back he goes over to Jim.

Even last nite we were sitting on the couch and he came up and went "MEOWWWWW!!!" really loud then attacked Jim with love while I sat there like this
lol.

Maybe he just likes males better?? Maybe its his goatee that he likes to rub his face on?? Maybe I should grow a beard..



Zoey loves me better though...

Yup, Ophelia definitely favors Earl.
Which really irritates me at times since I am the one who spent every night in the room with her (and Trent) socializing her when she was a kitten. I'm the one who feeds, waters, cleans the litter, gives the treats.....and yet she adores him.

Trent is definitely Mommy's Boy, though so I guess it works out. But Earl still gets lots of loves from Trent. I mainly get "the look" from Ophelia.

Peedoodle favours Jake more - every morning and every night, he sits on Jake's chest. Rarely, he sits on mine.


But Kahu follows me everywhere, we have this game we play every night when he tries to pull my hair tie out. I win every time.
He even purred today when I picked him up!

Ugh. When we're laying down watching tv, Roxy will sniff me, then walk over and lay on my bf Bryan's lap, or in between his legs, or on his head.. But for me, nope. But he also has a tendency to bite, scratch, and attack Bryan and he doesn't even think about doing it to me except on very rare occasions, so I consider it an even trade.

On the other hand, Bryan's cat LOVES me, as soon as I go to his place Tigger will run full speed and jump on my lap and sit there until I leave, while she just rolls her eyes at Bryan..

omg this is so funny!
I swear I was like, is there something wrong with me??
It MUST be a male bonding thing! Just like Val, I am the one that feeds him, cleans his litterbox, picks him up and hugs and kisses him and what does he do? Go straight to Jim to get love! Little stinker!!!


Well at least Zoey loves me.. *sniff*

Simba seems to prefer me - he's always on my lap if it's available, and at night he snuggles with me and sleeps there all night. He will snuggle with my husband if I'm not around, but mostly he just walks across his face to get to me in the bed.


Our first cat, Lucie, was supposed to be my cat. I wanted a cat, husband wanted a dog, so we got one of each. Lucie adored my husband and didn't have the time of day for me (unless I was holding a can of Pounce).

Elwood is a total mommas boy. So bad that I can't leave a room for two seconds and come back. He's always following me and head bonking me and asking for love! Jake was more stand off-ish when he was younger but recently he's been getting quite lovey. However, he's still Bruce's boy. In the end though, their both mine.

Movin' on up!
Rowdy is Daddy's girl. She never sits on my lap.

Opie divides his time, fairly evenly. Bill gets him, in the afternoons and I get Opie, at bedtime.

Buddy spreads it around, too. He isn't much of a lap-sitter but, he starts out the night, next to Bill and moves over by me, when Opie vacates.

Yup! Now it makes sense with my older cats from when I was single, but with younger cats from after we married, there was a clear choice made...Roo adores me (though he'll gladly take backskritches from my DH) and Dee lives just for my DH (though he'll trot alongside me as he escorts me from room to room and gives me lovely nose kisses).

I think My cats both favor my husband. I am just an annoyance to them, I think! I'm always grabbing them and kissing them and smothering them with affection (it's hard to keep my hands off of them!) Hubby plays fetch with Jake every night when he gets home from work and he just LOVES to play fetch. Bunnie lets him pick her up and snuggle her more than she lets me. It does hurt a little, I must admit. Sometimes it does bug me, but not too much. I still get my snuggles in, even if I have to sneak up on them!!!

both boy boy and meow meow likes my mom..
for the most obvious reasons... my mom spends more time with them compared to me.. no doubt i feed them, bathe them, change their cat litter and all... they just like my mom... however, boy boy likes me slightly more than meow meow does...

Yep.Most of my kitties like me better,but one of the last 2 kittens we got Ruby loves Mike better.I am the one that does everything for them,too,so I don't know what it is.


She will come and lay with me sometimes when he's not here,but if he is here she lays on him,head bonks,licks him etc..She will even take her paw and pat him on the hand if he's not paying any attention to her.LOL.It's like she is saying "Hello??I'm right here.PET ME!!!LOL.
On the other hand her brother,Max,is totally MY baby.He is such a sweetie.
