We have a mix of friends, timid, and aloof.
Fennimore is our friendliest. If he thinks someone is even thinking about petting one of the other cats, he comes running and interjects himself. He loves attention.
Astrid (Right) is also an attention hog. She loves attention from us and anyone who visits. Her sister Estella (Left) likes attention some of the time. Mostly, she just loves my son.
Simon only likes to be pet occasionally, but he likes when people talk to him and let him sit on their laps. He lets us know when he wants pet. Now, if you have his brush, he is your best friend.
Tara and Evangeline are timid and tend to hide when people come over, but once they are used to the new person, they are very affectionate, especially Tara. She flips around and grabs hands to make the person pet her. Evangeline does not like everyone. She is also partially deaf, so she startles easily.

Silas is skittish around strangers still, but he wants attention.

Willow is the exact opposite of her brother, Fennimore. She is friendly, but she is only friendly with family members and certain visitors. Not everyone can pet her, either.
Willow
Freya does not like attention most of the time, except when that attention is from my daughter. My daughter found her about three years ago. It was only this past year that she has warmed up to anyone other than my daughter. She lets us pet her sometimes and actually seeks out my husband every once in a while. She was a feral baby. (Fennimore and Willow were as well.)
