Oh my goodness! Mine is the same way. She loves to be near me, lay on my lap, and she is very very loyal, always beside me or in the same room and she comes to greet me, BUT she does not like it when we pet her unless it is on her terms and she asks for it. If she is laying down and I start to pet her she will lift her head and tense up and eventually move away. Sometimes though, she will come to me and get in my face until I do pet her but it has to be on her terms. I sometimes wonder if they are not ticklish. We have worked with her on it though and have made her sit and take a little at a time. She is a lot better about it but you can still tell she doesn't really like it.
