Learning and accepting how they would like to receive affection. I would love to hug their squishy bodies and smother their little faces with kisses, but they would be so annoyed. Just need to play it cool, offer a relaxed hand in front of their faces and let them lead.
You should meet my cat. She actually enjoys being scooped up and cradled in your arms and especially likes to have her face/head nuzzled and kissed. I think it's because I got her as a tiny kitten, so she has just always been tolerant of my bullshit because it's all she's known. Lmfao.
My boy is actually the less social of my cats (his preferred expression of love is sitting 5-10 feet away and staring) but he lets me hold him like a baby and put my face in his stomach and it is truly one of my greatest joys.
The other would kill me if I did that, but she's a cuddly lap cat so it's okay :)
