Favortism

Yes...patches sleeps with us,she always sleeps on Keith's side
the little stinker lol and she snuggles with him on the couch.
But when im on the computer she lays by my feet and likes
to play with me

Well Sicy, if you grow a beard, don't forget to keep it trimmed-

With so many cats here, each one has a favorite adult they hang with. Cleo allows me to pick him up, he runs from Mike. Whisp runs from me, and runs toward Mike- Kabota climbs up my leg, and growls at Mike- LOL

Every one of mine have their favorite parent: Scarlett and Stumpy are my husbands and the rest are mine. They love us both, but one more than the other (except Tigger won't have anything to do with Steve).

Interesting that Scarlett and Stumpy are the alpha female/male in the house and they attach to dad. He swears that he controls the pecking order with his favoritisms. One day I'll ask a behaviorist about this.

I think Patches prefers my roomate ... Because she sleeps with her at night and when she comes home from work Patches greets her at the door and meows too. But when I come home... I open up the door and off she runs into the hallway ignoring me . But Tiger, she prefers me . She is always rubbing against me and following me around the apartment. And she meows at me and sleeps with me too.

When we first got Rowdy, I worked crazy hours and Bill was home, more than I was. They bonded and nothing is going to change that. Bill is a big part of why Rowdy is so cussed ornery. He plays and roughhouses with her and she loves it. Buddy and Opie were older, when I adopted them and their personalities were already set.

Ike was an adult dog, but Pearl was just a puppy, when we got her. She is just as rambunctious, as Rowdy. In her case, though, Bill is trying to calm her down.

LOL!


Drew is definitely Craig's baby. He'll let me pick him up and he won't try to get down (just because he's a sweety), but he get this really sour expression on his face. Craig could pick him up and hold him all day long. Drew always chooses to head bonk Craig, and lots of time when I say "Drew Bear.. come here baby" and start walking towards him.. he knows I'm gonna try to pick him up and he runs like the dickens.


Sebastian is my baby. He doesn't let Craig hold him, but I can hold him anytime I want. He likes to sleep on my pillow and wake me up by sticking his nose in my eye and purring as loud as motor boat. He's my angel.


Jake is anyone's baby. What I mean is.. he'll be your baby as long as you give him 1000000000% of your attention, hold him, and love him behind the ears. You could be a complete strange and he'll be your baby as long as you're loving on him.

Amber is my baby! she sleeps on my side of the bed (but then again, hubby made sure she knew what side to sleep on). and she curls up in my lap now, like, after a year! but she will go from me to him and back and forth for rubs and scritches.

Naw, I think all 3 favor me...

Absolutely!! Of the current crew, Cindy is Mummy's girl; Fawn is Daddy's girl; Suzy...? ummmmmm....mostly Daddy's, I think, though she surprises me sometimes.

And all previous kitties have bonded with particular humans -- Gryphon bonded with Dad, who isn't even a cat person -- though Gryph educated him.

Lucky ol me I get them all to myself!!!!!!!!
When my sister and her fiance came over in August my fat Katy loved him though (I think that was because he kept giving her treats that I dont allow)

Simon definitely loves everyone, but he has a bond thing going with the other two males in the house. He sleeps on Jeff's head, and will ignore scritches in favor of mutual head bonks with my son. Sigh. Simon won't sleep with me even when Jeff is gone overnight. He'll wander around the house after I've gone to bed looking for Daddy.

Merlin is a MAJOR momma's boy. He could care less if John is even around. Pepperpot is a daddy's girl, but gives me love when he isn't available. Sugarly and Excalibur are equally snuggly, maybe a bit more with me as I sit down and rest more then hubby does - it is an opportunity thing. Although Excalibur chirps when he sees me coming up the walk from work and meets me at the door according to my hubby. Gweeky hates everyone equally.

LOL!!

Yeah so this morning Saki was just goin to town on Jim.. I could hear him purring and frantically licking. lol. Why is it frantically?? Its so funny, it makes us laugh. I got maybe one head bonk and some frantic eyeball licks but that was it... he spent about 10 minutes all over Jim then proceeded to lay across his chest when he was done. *sigh*.

Yeah the other thing is Jim is not working at the moment. As of a couple weeks ago.. so he's home all day with the cats. bonding.. I hope they dont stop loving me now

Of course they won't stop loving you. Especially Zoey, she is your girl! Maybe Jim is saltier then you are and Saki is wanting the salt? Pepperpot licks John all of the time and I think it is because he sweats more (at work) and the salt from the sweat makes him tasty to her.

Hmm...well I was going to type that Russell favoured my fiancee, but after reading and thinking about it, I think he favours me.

Sure my fiancee can pick Russell up and give him scratches and Russell will love it. But Russell sleeps with me, follows me around the place, and when I'm not well, snuggles up to me purring his little heart out. And when I pick Russell up, he will head bonk me, rub his head on my shoulder, purr away and start meowing away at me starting a conversation.

And Esper, well she loves everyone. Though she favours us over the housemate.

My son prefers to be with my hubby even though I'm the one feeding hin, changing his poopy diapers, bathing him, etc. At first it bothered me but then I started to enjoy the free time. However he can't stand I when I'm cuddly with JellyBelly so I cuddle a lot more with JB Does this suffice under this thread?

what a good way to get loving from everyone!

Felixia likes my husband better, even though I've been taking care of her for years. She just seems to prefer men. Oreo likes him better, too, but that's expected b/c he's my husband's cat. Sylvestra, Mr Underfoot, and Tiger Lily seem to like me better still.

Well, I don't have a spouse at the moment, but my kitten Simba loves Shane my other cat, more than he loves me. Can you believe it? I'm actually jealous of one of my cats!!

lol hope!!
