Question:
My cat is awesome and she loves people, she will jump up on everyone and just purr. I am used to my animals following me around and being really connected with them. I don't feel like this with my cat, is it because i'm used to how dogs are, or is it possible to have the similar type of relationship with a cat as a dog. She doesn't run from me, but I just wanted some ideas of how to connect better and become closer to her. Oh by the way, thanx everyone for all the advice you have all given!

Answer:
Cats are different from dogs and they themselves would tell you I'm sure. And some cat breeds - like my Siamese and Sphynx are more people oriented and need to be their people. I am sure she likes you - but she would not think of it that way. Have you played some typical kitty games with her - mouse catching, feather chasing, that kind of thing. Cats love the chase and hide.

My YY will hide somewhere and meow for me and the sphynx to play with her - she has invented her own version of hide and seek, lol

You might try that with your kitty. Hide from her and call her and let her find you.

Answer:
From my experience..........male cats are much more affectionate than females! Females only want attention when they want it - not when you want to give it to them!!

Try spoiling her with canned cat food once in a while?? Play time?

Do you try to hard with your cat?? When I was a little girl, i mauled my animals because i loved them sooooooo much. They didn't like me in return! So i did learn to give them their space! LOL
