Cats aren't responsive to much during the day. Usually they spend most of the day sleeping. At night is when a cat really comes into it's being. My cat does the same thing. She doesn't want to be held, or petted, but at night she is curled up against me while I am sleeping and purrs all the time. Cats just are nightime critters.

Usually, cats will do this, and might just growl or hiss to show that they do not lie this. So mad cats will not purr and happy ones will.
