Ditto...but ONLY me. Could care less about my wife or anyone else. My wife is home on maternity leave, and says the cat goes upstairs to the bedroom and sleeps all day until I come home. Once I get home, she comes down and sits next to me all night until we go to bed. I can pick her up, flip her over, rub her belly, pretty much do whatever to her. She'll lay on me, etc. Someone else tries to just pet her, and she'll hiss and flip #### at them.

Yeah my cats are pretty attached to me. When I sit down to watch TV I end up with with cats laying on me.I have one cat that when I try to leave the house gets on the couch then stretches out to get two paws on the door knob as if to stop me from going. But my wife? They are not interested at all. Now if I am there they will tolerate her but otherwise they don't care and are just waiting for me to show up.

Wasn't intentional. She loves cats. But over the last few years has become very allergic. With the exception of a minor dustup early on she has been great to me so having cats isn't about keeping her away at all.

Is this the thread where every last cat owner says "I know MOST cat's do _________, but MY Mr's Fluffflestuff is DIFFERENT. He doesn't think realize he's a cat!"
The next cat owner that I meet that isn't convinced their cat is a unique snowflake that's not subject to cat stereotypes will be the first.

No this is the thread where someone did a study that doesn't seem to match most peoples experience with their pets. I don't know what other cats do I can only tell you what mine do. They beg to be picked up and petted. They sleep on me any time I sit down to watch TV or play games. They follow me around the house. They don't fit the profile given at all.Is this the thread where every last cat owner says "I know MOST cat's do _________, but MY Mr's Fluffflestuff is DIFFERENT.

It is a silly and obviously biased article, but I was reading it anyway out of curiosity. But I stopped after their solutions for the environmental impact were to bring your cat in at night and/or put a bell on it, never even considering the best and most obvious solution to keep your cat indoors.
- Owner of three cats and a dog. I'm really a dog person (my wife a cat person), but cats are downright cool. Different than dogs, of course, but great in their own ways.

2 Cats. The older one only likes me and my kids. Will run and hide from anyone else. If the kids and I are both home, he will always come sit by me though. Sleeps next to me every night.
The younger one is a little whore and loves everyone.

I've seen other articles that suggest the bell. It seems to me that if you let your cat go out at night with a bell attached it just as likely that you'll make him/her an easy target for other predators like coyotes, fisher cats, owls etc.jhib said:

My previous cat was great. Best pet I've ever had. My current cat is fun and weird and athletic, but she's also kind of a dummy.

at the title.Knew which study this was referencing from the Foster tweets where he trolled cat lovers on Twitter this past off season.

And we're getting the same responses here, as I'd predict. Take the hooks out, cat lovers. Mr. Cross wins this round.

Some of the research results correspond to what I understand about my cats. Cats generally are different than dogs. They don't particularly want attention all the time. They want attention on their terms. I like that about cats. It makes them less needy than dogs (and children). I do think some of the conclusions are over-simplifications. My cats don't enjoy being petted out of the blue, but they will come over and seek a scratch on the chin or the head when it suits them. Often at specific times (one of my cats does a circuit between me and my wife around 9PM every night).
Even among cats, some are snugglers and some are more independent.
