It's pretty much a toss-up. We have two cats. The one in this picture is Spock, who is pretty nervous around anyone except my wife. She will grudgingly accept food from me when my wife is away, but rarely lets me pet her. the other one is McCoy, who is large and often aggressive. I'm pretty much the only person he won't try to bite and claw all the time (just some of the time). He will accept food from my wife, but doesn't seem to heed the advice not to bite the hand that feeds. :) I think we both love both cats equally, but they don't love us equally.
