My Ruby is the biggest cuddle bug! She too will use her paw to keep to touching her, or failing that will jump and start licking your face like there's no tomorrow! Hahaha
Mine large and small will break their necks to get petted and are usually jealous if one of the others are getting petted. Yoshi can be a bit funny at times and although he loves to be up against me and under covers I think he could probably care less if he is being petted as long as he is near mommy or being paid some kind of attention =)
