I've lived with cats my entire life. It depends on the cat.
They all have different personalities. my first was terrified of everything and everyone. I think I rough handled her when I was little. When I got older I had to corner her just to pet her.
she was sweet but scared shitless of me.
My other was finicky, she'd give attention but only for as long as she wanted to.
We recently adopted 2. One won't let me pet her at all and the other is the chillest cat I've ever had. He wandered into our home. He just pushed past the door.
He's moms cat because she feeds him but he doesn't care even if you pick him up and move him
I've heard boy cats are generally like that-more affectionate.
so if I were you i'd get a boy.

@BetweenKittensandRiots You’re the second person to suggest getting a male cat. Interesting, I’m surprised to hear they’re more affectionate than the females. I would have thought the opposite. I’ll keep that in mind even though I kind of wanted a female because all my animals even since a child have been males.
