He was probably up to his ear tufts with people petting him all day and just wanted to get some sleep.

He sounds like a ragdoll. He might be a lot friendlier when it's quiet, but ragdolls do have definite prefferences in the people they want to go home with.

Funny, my Maine coon old lady cat was a hissing, spitting ball of angry fur when they took her out of the cage. As soon as they put her into my lap, she just melted into a furry, purring puddle. First impressions can be misleading.
