Cat likes me more than husband, why?

So we got a cat like a week or so ago and I don't really like animals but I put up with them. My husband wanted the cat so I got her for him. He has fed her every night cleans her litter box and brushes her. For the most part it seems as though she looks at him as master but lately she has been coming to me for attention rather than him. I don't really pay attention to her I'll pet her every once in a while but that's it I don't want to cuddle with her I don't want her in my lap and when she jumps in my lap I put her down. So why is she suddenly coming to me for attention when I don't give it to her but my husband is trying to love her up?
