Some cats are more skiddish maybe because of being scared or chased by people. It takes patience and time to form a relationship with a cat. It not automatic like with dogs. If you feed them and cuddle them and show them you mean them no harm, they cant get enough of ya and then youll want your space! I have one spayed female and 3 small kittens that are on me at all times lol they all try to sleep with me at night , the little buggers ;)

You gotta remember that a cat is not a dog. Your cat's going to do whatever the hell it feels like doing. If it wants to sleep on the couch, it's sleeping on the couch and there's no way you can do anything about it.

Some cats like to sleep with their owner and some don't. Give it time. Give the cat a blanket that is her own. After she gets used to sleeping on it, put it on your bed. Pick her up and put her on the blanket. Pet her and talk to her nicely. Hope this works.

you don't. cats have minds of their own. they will do what they want to do when they want to do it. my own observation- cats are often more affectionate with neurering and/or age. not all, but some. however, i have a 7 year old cat who is very rarely affectionate, and she was spayed at 6 months. oh well ! people own dogs, cats own people. its just the way it is. btw- i have 4 cats presently.

That's a hard one to answer...cats are so independent...they like to do their own thing...You could go to the library, and check out some books on cats and their habits. GOOD LUCK!

Unfortunately, some cats just aren't lap cats. You could sit with a blanket he likes on your knees or put it on your bed.

If your cat is young, he may grow out of it.
My oldest, now 9, never cuddled with me until he was about 3 years old, and I had him since he was 3 months old. Now, I'd like to know how to keep him off me... ;)

you have to respect your cat as you want to be respected. That may sound corny to you, but think about it. Kindness goes a long way, when you practice it. Cats always love to be petted, and you have to figure out how to encourage him to do what you want him to do.

rub cat nip on the furniture and on the bed, it'll work.
