11 year old cat comes to cuddle, but quickly leaves. Why?

One of my cats, S, has become more and more affectionate with age. But one thing that hasn't really changed is that when he's got enough he doesn't just get up and leave, he almost makes a break for it. He'll get all close and purry but - regardless of whether I pet him or not - after only a few minutes he'll make a break for it as if something's after him--especially if he's lying on me or right next to me in bed. Any suggestions as to why?
Both he and his brother T are 11 years old and I've had them for 7 years. Both indoor cats. They tolerate eachother with sporadic expressions of affection, usually begun by T and grudgingly accepted by S. S has always come for cuddles but has also been very independent. Lately, however, he's begun to follow me around and talk much more and louder, I think as a result of age. Seeing this change in him makes me want to make our cuddle time more relaxing for him but I don't know exactly what the problem is. They are my first pets.
