Am I just lucky or are all MC's like this?

My little huni Leo is a total lover. He is so amazingly affectionate. You pick him up for a cuddle and he just flops in your arms. He loves any way you hold him but perfers being held like a baby. He loves to touch your face with his paws and put his face against yours. He loves having lots of kisses all over his face. He doesn't wriggle or try to get away.

My other two cats are affectionate but nothing like him, even as kittens.

Leo is also always 'trilling'. It's so cute. It's the first thing I hear in the morning when he is playing with his older brother.

Also, I swear to you Leo smells like chocolate!!! His body odour or kitten smell (I guess) smells like cocoa/chocolate. It's beautiful. Haha that sounds weird hey but I swear thats what his smell reminds me of.

Does anyone else have a totally affectionate kitty/cat? Is this normal across the MC breed?

P.S. I was lucky enough to witness Leo taking a big wee on my beanbag today. Not sure if the feeling of the beans under his feet confused him. Needless to say the beanbag is going in the bin. Leo also got wee all over him so today he had his first bath. He didn't care he was getting wet at all. Silly piddle pot!!!

This is pretty normal for a Coony

That's why we all love them so much!

Sweet thing! MCs are known for being playful and affectionate but they do vary. I have the three and they couldn't be more different in how they express themselves and how clingy they are. But they are all wonderful and everyone who visits comments on how they are the "best" cats they've ever met. :P

Awesome

I feel so lucky to have Leo. It's a lucky dip when you buy from a breeder I guess in terms of personalities of the kittens, etc. Especially when you pick a kitten from a photo and don't have the luxury of being able to spend time with the kitten before you pick it up.

I remember the first MC I ever saw (which is when I fell in love with the breed) actually touched me on the face after I gave him a tickle on his neck. It was the sweetest thing ever. I'm so glad I've got me a baby who loves to show his affection like that.

Haha I haven't had him for even a week yet and I'm already picking out the colour for my next MC!!!
(4 cats... Hmmm... Can you be a crazy cat lady at 26?)
