I had a cat years ago that was the most cuddly thing from the day we got her til the day she died...She hated other cats, but people she loved. When she died, we decided to get 2 kittens so they could keep each other company. One of them will follow us around like a dog. It doesn't matter where we are or what we are doing, she has to be there - but don't try to touch her or pick her up! She'll rub against our legs, but all contact has to be on her terms. She's sitting on the chair next to me now, purring!
The other cat is extremely cuddly. She'll wake me up at night by licking and then gently chomping on my hands or feet, because she wants to be petted.... she'll lay on my pillow and purr loudly... she tries to jump in my lap when I'm eating.... but when she gets her fill of petting and loving, she wanders off.
Then we have cat #3, who my daughter brought home as a tiny kitten that someone found on the highway. The first couple of weeks, the kitten was cuddly... then suddenly decided that she didn't like being picked up or petted, and began biting and hissing and growling. She was like that for months, then we had a house guest who fell in love with this cat - picked her up and cuddled with her and wouldn't let her go even when she started biting and growling. After a while, the cat started putting up with it. When our houseguest left, the cat started sleeping in my son's bed.... Go figure....
