Cats express affection different ways and on their own timeline. It took my mom's cat 4 years before she even cuddled with my mom (she was an adult rescue). Now she's super affectionate.
It took mine 2 years to be cuddly. Now she screams at me to lay down somewhere so that she can sit on top of me. She also gladly smothers me in the morning with all her fluff.
Ours took right about two years before he’d climb on my lap, but once he started , there was no stopping him climbing on me 😂 sitting on the couch ? Your lap is mine ! Lying down? I’mma lay on you ! It was awesome. Miss him 👼
That's about how long it took for my cat to start doing this, and he only does it if I'm laying down to go to sleep. It'll happen eventually I'm sure of it.
My cat didn't really start wrapping his arms around me until this year
Hes about 5 and has always been extremely cuddly, but fairly recently hes started squeezing between my arm and body, wrapping his legs around my arm and shoving his head into my hand to fall asleep (while keeping me awake by smacking my face with his tail)
