Kohl is a very outgoing cat and loves to be around other people. He loves to play with a fish on the end of a stick with anyone visiting my house. He loves to eat string cheese out of a cat snack dispenser. Kohl ensures people are watching him get his string cheese out of the cat snack dispenser.
Garfunkel and Conrad are my cats only. They love to be held and petted by me and me alone. Conrad’s Mother was very shy and very cautious of all human beings. I do not know about Conrad’s father, as he was a feral cat that came to my farm.
Maggie is an amiable, outgoing cat and the opposite of her sister. She loves to be held and petted by people she has gotten to know for some time.
Cali and Russ are very outgoing and can hardly wait for someone to come to the house to hold and pet them. They both purr and purr away while they are being held and petted. Peter is shy beyond shy and likes to hide behind a board most of the day. Addi, the Mother of Peter’s kittens, is semi-shy. Addi’s children, Hilford, Mr. Gray, and Sherlock, do not want to be held or petted. Peter and Nicole are Conrad’s brother and sister. Conrad likes to be held and petted by me only.
I think it is part genetics in the fact that some cats like to be held and make a fuss over where other cats instead be left alone. In most cases, the kittens act as their parents do around people. Some cats can come around and become utterly tame with their human caregiver. Cat snacks and tuna canned in water can change your cat’s personality for the better. Good food and extra love can sometimes make the feral cat extra tame over time and with lots of patience.

You forgot to add that Kohl is the party animal at your house. One never knows where you will find him. From on top of your fridge to under the bed, he’s never bored.
