I mean, hey I get that! I have two cats my self one of them generally wants nothing to do with me but the other will paw at my door in the middle of the night, follow me around to the point of near making me trip, and will squall the moment I walk in the door.
I'm not stupid though, I don't think it has anything to do with affection or love. It's because I'm the one who fills the bowls, cleans the litter box, gives them water. I'm the one who gives them treats, I'm the one who bought them their favorite toy, the laser pointer I was the first to play with them with it and I continue to when the house is empty in the middle of the day. It makes perfect sense that, at least one of them appears to like me more. The other one doesn't care as much because her brother takes advantage of all these things more than she does. Her brother is bigger than her, she doesn't really care for real meat(which I always thought was strange) She prefers the packaged cat snacks. As for the laser pointer she rarely gets a chance with it because her brother LITERALLY goes mental whenever I take it out.
You seem to explain it yourself when you said she latched on to you for the food.
They say that cats choose only one person that they tend to be affectionate towards. Perhaps your other cat is attached to another person maybe? I don't know, cats are weird like that. Some are happy and playful, others are grumpy and lazy. I often wonder what goes on inside their heads.
Sometimes she sits and winks at me. I often wink back in case it means something.
And as for the food, she doesn't eat meat either. Only tuna and chicken. Turns her nose up at anything else we give her. Doesn't eat beef, lamb or rabbit flavour cat food at all. So fussy!
IIN that it bothers me when people impose human emotions onto animals?
