Thread: Not very affectionate

Hello all,
I've finally got my mainecoon baby after years if persuading the hubby. Other than being a beautiful looking cat the other reason why I've wanted one for so long is because of their personality . My baby is 4 month old, very playful and very social (constantly chirping for attention and to be played with) but he is not very affectionate. He doesn't particularly like being picked up or stroked. He will only have a good stroke and sit on me for about ten minutes at bedtime before he will jump down. Nearly everything I read about this breed talks about their affectionate character. Now, I do know his hormones have already kicked in because he keeps trying his luck with my old (spayed) moggy. Do you think he might become more loving once he has been neutered and less raging hormones?
