My Persephone is a bit like that, but she is only clingy with me; she
more-or-less ignores Dave and Mum.  Ted (aged calico) is extremely
clingy with Dave and completely ignores me and Mum.  Spock is his own
lad and ain't gonna cling to no-one (unless Dave is wearing his winter
bathrobe and it's a cold morning, in which case Spock will deign to
smurgle in Dave's lap for as long as no-one is watching).

I think, therefore, that it's just a personality thing and nothing to
worry about - some cats are just like that!  For what it's worth, it
seems to be an inborn thing - Spock and Persephone have both been with
us since they were 3-4 weeks old - just little sausages, and their
personalities and degrees-of-clinginess are poles apart!

I wish I knew.... Every night I have to toss Beatrice to the foot of the bed
about 4093 times before she gives up on trying to suck my earlobe. And every
time there is a thunderstorm, Baby Eyes - who ordinarily does not like to be
held - becomes a velcro cat. I am her safety blanket I guess.

Not to alarm you, but whenever Nikki hadn't taken her hyperthyroidism
meds, she became very clingy and needy. Of course, in my experience,
boycats often are more needy than girls (one exception being the little
grey-blue girlcat nestling on my arm right now and making it difficult
to type).
