I have two with distinct personalities.
My boy is a mush! Always on my lap, purring non-stop, always wants to be petted, always plops himself down around me. Just incredible, the most amazing, relaxed, mushy cat I ever owned. Just the same with visitors.
My girl, and his blood sister from same litter, is more reserved. She will purr and cuddle, but only when I lie down in bed under covers, then she jumps on me and will headbutt me, purr and absolutely go nuts. But during the day and around the house, she's a little nerveuos, takes sleeping spots in same room, but away from me.
A lot I think depends on the rank of cats in a household. Here, my boy is king. He's the ruler. He's also 18lb and huge, where she's only 10, and very slender for those 10.
I like to think of the boy as my pet, and the girl as his pet. They are inseparable. Sleep together, snuggle together, always looking for each other.
... interesting, as one other poster mentioned, my girl has a favorite toy, it's just a bow-tie made of blanket material, that she carries around and cries LOUDLY when at it. I wonder why they do it?
