My lack of PC aside - they should allot like Siamese, except for the not wanting to be held. The weird little white cat whose photo I posted yesterday is similar in her relationship with people - and her ground speed. She always wants to be around us, and will settle in next to us on the couch, the bed, wherever. But she absolutely refuses to be held for more than about 30 seconds - likes to have her face rubbed with the flat of a hand, but simply will not be held.
