My husky is like this most of the time. Follows me everywhere but just to be in the same room. If she wants cuddles, she will demand them by scratching me and grabbing my hand with her mouth.
This is 100% my cat. She's an adorable gremlin who I can tell absolutely loves me, but she's also figured out exactly how long my reach is and will always settle down on a nearby piece of furniture JUST out of touch. Little rascal.
Neither of my cats are like this. One is an absolute attention whore. If I’m sitting here always wants to be on my lap. At dinner he watches until I lean back (indicating I’m done) and then will try to jump on my. He’s sweet but very smothering.
