My family said it's because I'm male and the cat is male, but I think it's just because I fed the cat growing up (not their fault, wife and kid got busier so I took over handling pets for a while)

Part of it is also that cats tend to prefer people who don't pursue them. I'm not much of a cat person, but because of that almost every cat I've ever met has liked me, lmao.

not cat but dog:
My friends mother got a dog and booth the friend and the mother picket her up to let the dog sit on their lap.

I am not a dog person so i even highten my knees a bit but the dog still jumped.
It would have likely never come back if i pushed her off me but it was very funny for me to hear the other two complain that the dog never jumps on their laps.
