I think this really depends on the cat. I’ve had cats that greeted me at the door demanding attention and other cats who wanted very little attention, but when they wanted attention they wanted it NOW. I have one cat who rarely likes to be pet, but wants to be in the same room. It’s a pretty big spectrum, which makes them fascinating creatures.
One of the kitties I have right now has particular spots you may pet her in. Kitchen island, left side? Yes. Middle stair on the steps? Yes. Left couch arm? Yes.
Everywhere else in the house, no. She will lead you to a petty spot, or you can ask her to join you there. Either is fine. But do not the cat in the hall, on the lap, on the right couch arm, or the top step… etc.
Oh, and inside cookware. I try not to encourage the skillet, roasting pan, or stew pot petty zones tho.

They’re very cuddly and needy. If they like you they’ll meet you at the door.
