Our female cat I had no worries except maybe she would be jealous because she is my cat. She wants my attention a lot. Like as I type she is here cuddled up to me. She gets jealous of my ipad lol she will walk on it or in front of it when she wants me to give her attention, but she is the sweetest cat in the world and just adores my nieces and like I said she was rubbing my nephews legs. She has never bit or scratched anyone, we've had her since she about 7 or 8 months and she is close to 2 now. Our male cat, the way I like to describe him is we should've named him Sheldon after Sheldon from the Big Bang theory. He doesn't liked to be touched, maybe if you scratch his chin, but that time is limited. He has a certain spot on the couch and if there is something in his way he will sit there and look at you look at it look back at you over and over til you pick it up. If you pet him down his back, most cats stick there butts up, he bends his back legs in an effort to get you to stop. He is very picky about his food. We tried switching one time and he picked all of the food he liked out and left the other. So we ended up going from iams premium protection, which is expensive but krogers had it on clearance so we got like 6 bags of it, iams proactive. And he went on a hunger strike but then realized it wasn't that much different. I can get different flavored and he'll still eat it but if i tried to switch brands he would be angry. He is also very particular about the litter box. If he deems it too full he will hold it and when dh cleans it at night he sits in there and watches him clean (we ave a running joke that he's sitting there saying that's right clean my shit out lol) and as soon as he's done he jumps in. He will never not use the litter box, we actually had to get a bigger taller litter box than the standard because he had an incident where he had gotten too long for the box and accidently pooped over the side then freaked out and hid under the bed. He is a very good cat if you live on his terms lol. If you do something he doesn't like he will give you a warning bite but its not hard or anything. My nieces think he is mean because he won't play like the other and I try to tell them he is just different. He's a Bengal cat and I don't know if that has anything to do with it or what. I think the petting thing is a sensory issue. The funny part though is that he loves to cuddle. He sleeps with me every night almost since weve had him. I think we gave him one night to get used to the litter box cause he was 6 weeks old and he is over 2 now.
