I wish my cat was affectionate like this. She just sits there staring at me as though shes plotting to kill me in my sleep. She likes me when shes hungry though so I guess I'll take what I can get. Hopefully her demeanor changes as she gets older.
I've manipulated my cat (a rescue I found in the trash when she was already an adult) into accepting being in my arms. Basically, I would take her. And when she would lose patience and want to go down, I'd give her a treat (she's very food motivated). Now I can sometimes have her in my arms for one minute, petting her and all.
She wasn't cuddly at all at first but now she's kind of obsessed with me :') Like, she sleeps on me all the time. And asks for attention all the time. But the first year she wasn't affectionate at all, if your cat is a rescue it could take time. Try and bribe your cat with treats, it usually works well :)
