Hi I'm Mickey and I am having behavior problems with my kitten Nickey. I'm open to any suggestions, he won't cuddle with me yet he will meow and attack the doors when I'm not there. He is only 1 year old, will it go away as time does or Wil it just be his personality

Some cats are more independent, and no matter how domestic they become they are not cuddlers.
, though many cats become cuddlier once they're adults and manage to sit still!
My two cats are not cuddlers
Our old cat was never a cuddler until she was like five or six years old and then only rarely. By the end of her life at 17 years she was far more willing to cuddle than she ever was in her first ten years of life. Her personality changed multiple times during the course of her life.
At 7 mine has started standing in my lap and sits next to me for head and neck rubs, sleeps with me sometimes

She doesn't take as many showers as I do. But she does use this perfume.... maybe I don't know....he hates my 5 year old son
He may not like the smell of the soap. My cat will only lay on me after I've been to the gym.

He may just have bonded a little better with her. Try wearing a sweatshirt she has worn, and see if that helps.

Ok thank you
My daughter tried this with my chair and blanket to get her kitten to sit with her. So funny.
I've had this happen with my daughters cats. When I got them new cats/kittens, I wouldn't mess with them so they would bond with my daughters. I only put out their dry food which they had available all day. It don't matter what I did, the cats/kittens ended up bonding with me. I would put them on my daughters laps, in their rooms with them and anything else to keep from giving them attention. In the mean time, my daughters would lavish them with attention, playing, cuddles, brushing them and nothing would work.
I come to the conclusion that the cats choose who they want to be with and we just have to deal with it.
They would accept my daughters attention but when it came time to lay down and sleep or cuddle it was always with me, unless I locked them out of my room.
