They so ARE! My friend has this skinny slim cat and I'm like, there's nowhere near the amount of comic entertainment in that compared to the flab jiggling on my Georgey. xD
He minces and tries to run after me if I have food. Anything else is just a half hearted step forwards that ends in a "Meh. Can't be bothered" face and a collapse on the beanbag.
My cat wants attention off Joe, my little brother, because he always feeds him at the drop of a hat. But with me, I know when he's supposed to be fed and then I feed him then. He pays attention to me when I have food and toys xD
My cat is EXACTLY the same. He's all cute and curled up asleep in the photo in my Mibba photos but if I want him as a display pic with me OH NO. He goes off on one like a sulky teenager xD
