My last cat was kinda like that. Very rarely did I ever see her mad. Except
when she was protecting here territory form other cats and some dogs. Towards
people I never saw here mad. She just had the way of showing affection by
nibbling and hugging (With some claws).

Mine would show her desire for attention while I was on a computer by walking
across the keyboard or sitting right in front of the monitor.

Usually after the second time of me relocating her to the floor she
would get the hint.

Same here with just tad of white on her upper chest. Not a great mouser though.
She would play with them until she was bored. Which usually meant that the
mouse's life energy had ceased.
