i have two cats that are the polar opposites of each other. one is so mellow and loves to be pat and picked up.the other is a spaz .we call him the hooligan. he is crazy and keeps me laughing but hates to be picked up .he will tolerate it but don't like it. he will sleep on our laps when he wants .they are both very sweet and don't have a mean bone in them but pickle has a foot fetish
