That's wonderful. Give her time, and she may come to like cuddles and petting more. But remember all cats are different.Look who joined me in bed this morning!
My Ruby is a lap cat, and will sleep in bed with me, but she hates being restrained in any way. Petting her is fine, but if I so much as wrap my arms around her, she squeezes through them and scurries away. And picking her up to snuggle is totally out of the question.
