14 Signs Your Cat Hates You

[@Smirtley]

My cat: sleeps with me, purrs when I pet him, plays with me Me: omg what if my cat does not like me Edit: I’m famous 🥳

[@abfmkarin]

I hope its not a free roaming cat.If it is have yourself checked for toxoplasmosis gondii

[@abfmkarin]

Only saying because you say you sleep with your cat. Cats lick their anus than lick their fur. Their saliva is so toxic that as soon as a wild animal as so much as a tiny scratch they will die in 48 hours due the bacteria a cat harvests. So unless you have a 100% indoor or catio cat- you run a high risk to be infected.

If you ever experience this, you can just sit near them and wait. May take several times to several weeks. But this worked for me with 2 cats saved from death stations. If you add talking with them and repeatably hold your hand towards them, so they can smell your hand if they want, it will speed the process up.

Thank you so much i need this so much 😭😭😭

[@cherrybutterflyproductions6795]

Point to add; most cats understand these behaviors by instinct and can recognize them in humans as well as other cats, so you can flip some of these around to communicate with your cat to a limited degree. A good way to tell your cat that you trust them (and let them know that it's ok for them to trust you) is to look at them while they look at you and then slowly blink, and possibly even turn your attention away from them. This tells them that you don't consider them to be a threat and don't have hostile intent.

[@lethe.archive]

i feel like a lot of this is situational. some cats have play aggression and might not have been around their littermates long enough to learn bite inhibition. the main sign a cat is uncomfortable around you is aggressive vocalization or hiding.

[@Pythonaria]

One of my cats was dumped in the snow. He was about 9 weeks old. I fostered him then adopted him. When I go to bed, he will sit and groom me. While grooming he will nibble at me - the same way he does when he grooms himself or one of our other cats. He seems to get a bit carried away and the nibbles become bites. Not painful bites but I do feel them. We don't know how long he was out in the snow for but given he was about 9 weeks old, it was obvious he'd been taken away from his mother and siblings far too young. We got him just before Christmas 3 years ago. The following summer, one of our local rescues got a female, very pregnant cat in. She was identical to my cat and it was obvious they were siblings so some callous person dumped the two kittens to fend for themselves. The cat gave birth to 5 healthy kittens while she was in rescue and I'm happy to say all found good homes - and all were neutered and spayed. She was found close to where my cat was found so I think they were bred by someone who lives in the neighbourhood then dumped because they didn't sell to make money for Christmas. My boy is a much loved member of my family and shame on whoever dumped him and his sister.

[@metalklown]

Exactly. Like the ears down thing is honestly not always accurate. Mine does it constantly and seriously will follow me to stores for ten blocks and wait for me then follow me home. She also won't stop cuddling and sleeping on my chest. Like constantly. She's weirdly in love lol.

[@retrogamer2503]

Mine does hide from me a lot, and tries to avoid getting picked up, but at the same time, will start purring if you pet her for a minute or two.

@@metalklown Otto, the one who was found in the snow, I'll be bringing his favourite toy out this week - our 7ft Christmas tree. He's a big cat but somehow manages to climb to the top, knock the star off but has only once knocked the tree over. He'll knock the star off nearly every day until I take the tree down again. His partner in crime, Kira (also a rescue) knocks the baubles off and runs away with them. Last year I managed to take a quick photo of the tree before the cats set about wrecking it (again). Less than 2 minutes 🤣

@@retrogamer2503 We have one like that. She lived rough for at least 4 years and it took her a long time to trust us. She's quite elderly, maybe about 15/16 now and she will come and sit on my lap or my son's lap but it's on her terms only.

[@r.j.powers381]

My cat was 8 when I got her from the SPCA. I know at that age several things come into play: they have a defined personality, will have defined habits, will assess the situation and pretty much make the best of this new life. My responsibility is good food, clean water, clean litter box, clean home, and providing a safe environment. While my cat is not a cuddler she likes to rub her head on my belly. First day she came home she showed me her belly after a couple of hours. It will be 1 year on January 23, 2024. We are doing fine.

If you mean dressing them up and doing little cat weddings and whatnot, then yes I agree with you. On the other hand, if you mean trying to understand them emotionally and respect their boundaries, then you should definitely treat them like they are people.

Lil tip if y’all want a cat when you already have a dog: Don’t unless your dog is calm around other pets, search for cats who were fostered when they were very small by people with dogs, since it’s way harder to get an adult cat used to dogs.

[@summerbummerr678]

I would usually agree but I have two cats and my mom recently moved in with me & brought her puppy. Neither cat has been around dogs in their life. It’s not even been a few months and their relationships are decent. One plays with him constantly and the other tolerates him. He’s a puppy so he’s high energy and very in their face. It definitely differs on the animal though, I don’t think you specifically need a cat that’s been around dogs, or a dog that’s been around cats. If the dog has history of cat aggression it’s already a no no, but other than that I feel like if you give it time and patience and the right introduction you’ll be all good? No animal cozies up to a new atmosphere/addition immediately, regardless.

[@callous_cloud4780]

@@summerbummerr678 that’s true! It’s pretty common that cats who haven’t been around dogs yet will tolerate or play with them (take my first foster cat for example) but if you want the highest chances of getting them to get along I’d definetely search for a cat who you know tolerates dogs

I am dissapointed in myself for not being around much in her last few years, when she needed someone the most.. However, I could never understand why my cat hated my dad so much, he didn't have to do anything to make her that way but from first eyesight she was scared for life.. I can't wrap my head around it to this day... I feared my dad back in the day too but could she have sensed that meeting us both basically on the same day as a kitten?

I had a cat that always knew if I was upset about anything, he would immediately be by my side if I came into the house feeling angry or upset about something, and if I was swearing, he would swat me a few times...really, it was the coolist thing.

What if your cat “hates”you? If you adopt a cat who has not been well socialized and they exhibit these behaviors, you just need to exhibit a lot of patience & kindness. Talk to the cat in a calm voice regularly. Sit near them with out invading their space place a super delicious treat in between you & cat, be chill when/if kitty takes the food. If cat doesn’t come take the treat move treat closer to kitty and yourself further away. Sometimes just sit there doing your work, read, whatever, so kitty can observe you and get used to your natural behaviors. Using a toy that keeps a safe distance between you and the cat can help build trust with younger cats & kittens (from the cats pov). Listening to a cats signals & respecting their boundaries goes a long way when building a relationship with your cat (and humans too lol). Often older cats who have had bad experiences with humans or other animals may only be able to trust you to a certain point. Please don’t take that personally, be happy that they trust you enough to come as far as they have.

[@StarSong936]

IDK, I've had mixed signals from cats laying on their back. What usually happens to me, if I reach out, it they will grab my hand in their claws, and start licking me to death. I also had one cat that would sit on the floor in front of me, then here pupils would get really big (attack mode anyone?) Then she would launch herself off the floor onto my chest. After that, she would scramble over the back of the couch and race into the kitchen. She expected me to follow her, and if I didn't she would come back and bite my wrist. There was only one time I got injured, and that was by accident. She slipped going over the back of the couch and caught my arm with her back claws trying to keep from falling. We still played tag over the back of a chair with blood dripping down my arm. Yes, she was using me for hunting practice. And no, her bites never were hard enough to break my skin. Her most usual position was sleeping on my scanner, on my face, or on the couch next to me while I played video games. Also, she would go out in the morning when I went to work, and meet me at my front door when I came home from work. One of her favorite things to do was to steel the eggs from the sandwiches my room mate was making. He complained about how she always stole his food, but never mine. I told him, that's because I feed her the same thing I'm eating, so she knows what it is. Also, I kept watch for her antics, while he turned his back on her. Her name was StarFire. Another cat I had got pregnant. A couple weeks before she was due, we went on a tour of my entire house with her exploring every nook and cranny looking for a spot to have her kittens. She eventually chose a box in my bedroom closet. I cleared out all the junk I had there, lined it with 2 hand towels, and she took another look and decided that was her spot. I told my room mate to never shut my door. He didn't listen. When I came home from work about 2 weeks after this she was frantic. I looked at my door, and saw it was closed. I yelled at my room mate saying the cat was due right now, and you shut my door. Her nesting box is there. He looked at me and said "You can't possibly know that!" I said "Watch!" and opened my door. She went racing for the box and started having her kittens. I opened up a can of cat food and put it in the box with her so she would not have to move. About 2 hours later, I was petting the new born kittens. My room mate still could not believe that the cat told me what was going on, even though he had seen it. Her name was Sparkles. Hope you enjoyed this.

I have thin one cat who gets spooked incredibly easily, but she is always happy to see us (unless you move too quick, then she runs) and loves snacks from the breakfast table and demands her pets regularly. But she is super nervous, has been the last 12 years. Than again, sometimes just the noise of heavyer rain on the roof (no storm, mind you) will send her hiding and crying, so I guess it ist just how she is. When she is not scared though, she is a lovely, cuddly, sweet girl.

[@murder8689]

Ever since moving into my room (my cat stayed in the master bathroom when she was a kitten) she refuses to sleep anywhere but my bed at night, on my chest, draped over my side, by my feet, curled up in the bend of my legs, or on top of my extra blankets next to my back, she also rubs her face on me to wake me up, it’s adorable

My brother's family had a male cat who lived to be over 20 years old. The cat was great by his 'nature' and he formed a mutual trust with me; I let him approach me whenever he felt to and he usually rubbed his head against mine, we even touched each others' noses. He never ever scratched me or bit me in the face. I was once visiting my parents and the cat was also there that day; my father came into the room laughing at some joke and I literally saw the cat's eyes turning completely blood red, it looked like he was ready to kill. I let him have his own space to cool down then and there.

She was never neglected, teased or abused.....at least by me. She hated my ex much more. But, when she met my husband, she made it a point to show me that she preferred him. Oh well, one of my two cats now is definitely my kitty. She picked me by climbing up my arm and perching on my shoulder when I was choosing a kitten from the litter. She's been my baby ever since. My other cat prefers my husband, but he likes all of us.

[@talesfromthetrip]

My cat doesn't do any of this stuff, but when I got him at the shelter he was super anxious and still is. He didn't play with the other cats and always wanted to go hide in the corner. They even told me I can't take him out because he wasn't going to come up to me. It took him about 2-3 months to actually come out of hiding for him to trust me. I would go to wherever he was hiding and pet him so softly for hours. He would get up and start walking around in circles almost investigating me and the situation. After a while, he finally came out of hiding. 2 years later he meows like crazy when I get home and just in general. (He never meowed at the beginning) The only thing he does on this list is bite me, but it only happens when he's laying on me when I'm sleeping and I decide to pet him. I looked it up and it said sometimes cats just don't want to be pet, so whenever I pet him and he starts biting, I stop petting. You have to respect these little creatures, they're so adorable and you want them to love you as much as you love them.

you can tell a lot about a person whether cats like them or not :) they like gentle souls and can read people very easily. my cat is obsessed with me & follows me everywhere I go. my boyfriend and I got her together when she was a kitten, but for some reason she just chose me as her favorite and became attached. she doesn’t like being picked up, she’s very sassy and everything has to be on her own time. she likes sitting on my chest when i’m laying down, but she will only do it if SHE walks up to me and decided to do it. if I pick her up & try to put her on my chest she will run off, and then come back 5 mins later and sit on my chest, because it was on “her own time” lmfao. she’s such a dork & I love her so much. her name is KeKe & she’s a long haired siberian cat

He never bit me or anything, but he made sure to never let me touch him and always ran away when I came around him. I kid you not, it took him a whole 2 flipping years before he got comfortable with me. One day he jumped up on the back of my couch and just started playing with my head and started licking me. I didn't know what to do as he never did anything "touching" to me. So I let him do what he wanted and ever since, he loves to lay on my lap and play with me. I never known any pet to be so distant for so long, when you always treated him nicely. Just glad he came around.

The rolling on their back to be more defensive is like a black belt pulling guard to attack you 😂😂 reminds me of Charles Do Bronx Oliveira

[@ItsJustRyansChannel]

I like how most of these come with the caveat "it could mean." 🤣 Does your cat roll on it's back? It COULD MEAN he loves you so, so much. Or it COULD MEAN he's getting ready to cut you like you owe him money. I'd say most signs a cat would make to express fear, distrust, etc. would be easy to spot and don't need a warning label attached to them. Would you walk up to a snarling dog that you've backed in to a corner and try to pet it as it's bearing it's teeth and give you a death stare? Probably not. So why would you try to grab/pet a cat that's in a defensive posture and hissing at you with it's hair raised and ears down? I think if you're a person that can't spot these signs in animals naturally then (a) you probably shouldn't have pets because you probably torture them, and (b) if you do get hurt by them you deserve it. As for the cats themselves, some of the cooky shit they do that can be interpreted multiple ways is on them, not us, the humans. Convey what you mean properly. Geez. I've seen my cats have their tails down and flat all the time when they're in "stalking" mode and playing or "hunting." They'll still let me walk up to them and pet them. So to suggest that a horizontal tail COULD BE some negative sign just seems absurd. You'll learn your pet's personality and behavior over time. It'll come naturally. They aren't all the same and are as unique as humans are. Some are just mean pricks and some wouldn't know how to hate you even if they wanted to. Just raise your pets properly and don't take guides like this video to heart, because a lot of this behavior you may never even see in your cat, assuming you're a good human to them.
