It's funny how they have their own personalities. I travel for work and when I return I usually get the aloof treatment from some of them, even though they all suddenly appear when they hear my voice. The mama's boy, a siamese mix, will do the sit nearby and stare thing and not come up for probably a good 24 hours, at which point he needs immediate and plentiful affection. We recently adopted another siamese cat that is small and stubbular, I spent a lot of time coaxing her out and feeding her which turned her into "my" cat. When I come home from traveling, it's like she sat under the bed the entire time (she probably DID ), she needs to be close and follows me everywhere I go.

We have 2 more that are also siamese mixes, less so than the others. They are much more direct about their affection, especially after being gone. "Hey, where were you? Did you know I like ham? And cheezburgers? Pet me now. Keep going. Not done yet. Okay, done with the petting, but now I just want to sit on your chest while you sleep, is that alright?"

I suppose there's no question about who owns who...
