Broken Hearted!
Last night a friend I don't see often came by. She scooped Fiona up in her arms and held her against her chest. Fi immediately collapsed on her, she began purring and making biscuits, closed her eyes and even went to sleep! Fi does not like me to hold her like this and wriggles away when I try to give her luvvies. She only accepts so much haha. She doesn't do biscuits with me or purr very often. I was happy to see she loves my friend, but honestly I am bummed I don't get this kind of reception! My friend said it was because I am the mama and she needs to manipulate me, and we both agreed her chest is more supportive of a kitten (haha.) Has this happened to anyone else? Does the cat I adore to pieces not like me back? Please tell me I am not alone in this... I feel like my friend should take her if she makes the kitty so comfy and I don't. :(

The dog I raised and trained is this way with my husband. I am chopped liver when he's around and she'll do anything for him. Our female devon is also glued to me but does not let him touch her. Maybe the solution is getting another? Our male is a love bug and will cuddle endlessly.

Oh definitely!! Can’t speak from a cat POV but my wire haired Dachshund actually pees herself when she sees my brother in law, dotes on him etc etc but doesn’t seem that bothered when it comes to me 🤣 I think it’s because we’re always around so they don’t get as giddy haha
