If you put your hand out, they'll either sniff you and go in for a head rub or turn their head away or hiss.
That's a great indication of what kind of cat you're dealing with... sometimes. Other times, they'll run up to your leg and try to bowl you over with a cuddle. Then when you lean down for a scritch, they'll try and bit your arm off.
