Potato isn't a snuggly boy. He'll beg for pets but isn't kissy and likes his space. His way of showing love is to stretch out and lay parallel to me around a foot away.
I had a medical procedure yesterday and ended up stretched across the couch. That left no room for the Potato to sit near me.
At some point, I looked over and saw him sitting in my chair, just watching me. Looking like a distinguished little protector. Every so often he would hop down to get food or use his litter box, and then he'd go right back to my chair and keep watching. It was a nice reminder that even though he isn't affectionate he still really cares in his own ways.
