If you mean sociable with people, it's best done when they're young by letting them have contact with a range of different gentle people, NOT screaming toddlers or rough kids who'll mistreat them. Older cats can also be gradually introduced to different people, too, by inviting a range of different people to your home and allowing them to build trust.

Cats aren't dogs: they don't want to have people in their face all the time, and they don't put up with treatment that dogs accept because it's from the 'pack leader' - cats don't have packs. Cats can become antisocial when their owners hassle them constantly (poke poke poke), and end up lashing out as their first response to having enough attention. They also need to spend the main part of their day napping and may not appreciate being woken for a sudden hug.

Learn something about cat body language to help you calm your cat. Cats are notorious for being friendly to people who don't like cats, probably because a cat shows that they aren't a threat by being still and looking away/not meeting the other's eyes. Staring or shouting are threats, as are sudden movements or grabbing.
