And here! Sadly Tilly does not agree, so if I want some cat hugging I have to kidnap Tay from next door (never very difficult). I am hoping that as Tilly ages she will be more responsive to hugs, as happened with Honey.

Most of mine don't appreciate hugs either, though one or two will suffer a cuddle for a short while, especially if it comes with an ear scritch. Especially Paddington, who seems to be discovering the joys of family life and is getting more cuddly by the day.

Daz, however, loves a cuddle (though only from his mum) and goes all soppy and shoves his head under my arm. A Dazzy cuddle never fails to make my day better, and I suspect that he feels the same. :)

Aww! Sorry for the dud link, folks. Anyway, you all appreciated the sentiment.
My Dave is big on cuddles.....on his terms. :D I always know when he wants fusses as he sits and meows at my feet. Then we have lots of kisses, cuddles and head bunting. Until he gets bored then he starts gnawing my hand. It doesn't hurt though. ;)

Of mine, Ava and Henry don't like being picked up and cuddled. Ava oddly though is a very vocal cat that's always about when I'm home so it's not as though she doesn't want attention - just not cuddles. And Henry loves cuddling up to me at night.

The other four all love cuddles which is lovely to come home to - never fails to put a big smile on my face
