It really can be like night and day. My cat was so incredibly stressed out when we brought her home that she kept "fawning" all over us for the first two weeks. Lots of excessive side rubs and a general clingyness to every interaction. She needed constant touch.
After that she began to settle in and became much more herself: playful, independent, and only sometimes in the mood for a lap or a cuddle.
