I'm not sure about this being a trait but we didn't pick ours up as kittens and all but one doesn't want to be carried. One will let you pick her up and turn her over like a baby. The vet told me it was a sign how comfortable they are with you to let you turn them over. I was also told you could tell how much of a people lover they are by picking them up. All I know for sure is my cats are all over us and our stuff but it has to be on their terms :)
