As a self-confessed Crazy Cat Lady (I have 6 cats at the moment!) it definitely depends on the individual cat. I have 2 boys and 4 girls. The oldest is nearly 2, and the youngest 3 (siblings) are nearly 1. They are all rescued cats from SAFE (Saving Animals from Euthanasia), and all have been desexed soon as they were old enough, and they are all inside cats with an enclosed run off the side of the house. 1 of the boys will only come to you when he wants attention, doesn't really like being picked up otherwise. The other boy is a total suck, a gorgeous little lap cat, purrs and snuggles. 2 of the girls seem to be loners, they prefer their own company. The other 2 girls are besties, they are never far apart, they sleep together most of the day.
