My DH was very attached to the first cat we had together as a married couple and he's never quite warmed up to any of our others cats in quite the same way. Our last cat, before our new cat Buddy, was one neither of us ever warmed up to and I don't think we were her faves either, but she stuck around and lived to be 18, even said goodbye to us in her own way before passing.
