They pick who they pick. My first two Maxis picked me, Dobby has chosen my sister and flies after her every time she leaves his sight. He used to try to feed me and get scritches but then he discovered she does all the cool things with food and reminds him of Momazon. I'm in charge of walnuts and protection now. Sometimes when I pick him up to move him or bed time he'll fluff a bit and allow a quick scritch so we're working on it and he loves everyone he meets.
Yeah it’s looking like I’m not the one. That’s okay though! Hubby can have.... just one.
It's crucial to work out who gives the best scritches in a household! You don't want to choose your person then realise that the other one gives better scritches!
