Playing hard to get is sometimes the best way to get the attention you want. If you are an animal lover and have ever been to someone's house who has an overly affectionate pet you know how tiring that can get in a short period of time.
On the other hand, the slightly shy cat or, in our case cautious chinchilla, usually has people trying to earn the animal's trust the minute they come in the door. Although that cute face and very soft little body helps to intice as well.
Even when it is just my husband or me, if we pay too much attention to Hugo he will go running off and hide or not come out of his little house. However, if we aren't paying any attention to him at all, or if one of us is in another room, then all of a sudden he wants to be near us.
Hugo's not that different from humans. If you have ever had a friend or significant other who is available and needy all the time, you know that after a while it gets smothering. A little time doing your own thing is essential in every relationship. It helps to keep things interesting.
Just make sure not to play too hard to get. No one wants to keep trying to gain someone's affection who never reciprocates.
