My late cat Perry used to lay in our arms like a baby he loved cuddles and he used to lay around my son's neck like a scarf and he was so relaxed ,he was very affectionate.
I have had many cats over the years and i have to say i have been very lucky with mine. We had a male Manx cat who did not like to be cuddled at all infact he did not like to be picked up ever.

My kittens are friendly but the male is far more likely to want a fuss and cuddle than the female ,she is a bit shy.
