Yep that’s a thing 😂 I’m so tired of everyone lumping cats into the same box - so what works for one may not work for others Just cause it works for your cats - or cats youve encountered doesn’t mean it will work the same for all cats 🐱 I’ve been called the cat whisperer in my life ..

[@francesheinig6420]

​@@user-bj5nw6rw9i My cat does the same thing. I can pet his head and scratch under his chin but, if I try to pet down his back he automatically tries to bite me, but it's not an I'm mad at you bite it's an I want to play bite, every time you touch his back, tail or belly. Mine will lay on the floor or wherever and roll on his back like he wants to be pet, and you might get just the one pet bc, he'll try to hold your arm and rabbit kick and bite at the same time. I've had him since he was 6-8 wks old, the owner at the time didn't remember when he was born but, we knew just by looking at him what his age was. Since day one that I got him he only likes his head pet and everything else means play. I'm hoping he grows out of that but if not, it is what it is. Some cats are just like that, hypersensitive, they want play time. According to Jackson Galaxy, from My Cat From Hell, it's normal and some cats are just hypersensitive like him. You can train cats but, it's a lot of hard work, consistency and clicker training is best, IMO. Make the training a few times a day but make it at the same times every day, make it part of their daily routine. Have a great day and God bless.

My littlest one is 2 years old and still have never heard her hiss... she used to growl and get all puffed up when someone would ring our doorbell so we decided to mute it so she would not be startled but I've yet to see one single bit of tortitude coming from either one of them!

always let a kitty sniff your hand first, don't put your hand above their head and try to touch head first. Always offer hand, then stroke cheek and scratch under ear. See how it works when he does that?! She's a cool cat, glad you all showed her patience and allowed her to make her own rules.

Yep, cats are sensitive to touch and especially some more than others. She is perfect with him when he isn't rushing or forcing contact on her. It's not that she doesn't like him, she is needing to reach shouting point because he is not hearing her more subtle cues.

[@peppermintmoon7354]

Let the cat come to you. You can't force a relationship they don't want. This is how I won over my roommate's cat. No one but his mom could touch him. It took a few months, but friends were amazed when I posted pics of me holding him snuggled against my face.

Same situation with my boyfriend's cat. The cat always reacts aggressively to strangers. Or he doesn't show interest, but he keeps an eye on you and attacks you if he thinks you're suspicious. He and I went from freezing in the hallway and screaming heart-rendingly, to meeting after work, lying on my chest before bed, and I’m the only one he listens to now. and yes, it took me 4-5 years. More time has passed, but I don’t regret it.)

[@user-fu9vj9ix3g]

Attaca is probably shy of eye contact. She might interpret that as a threat until she gets used to it. Most animals have that insticnt to look away from something that is portentially aggressive in order to avert conflict. I have the theory that NOTHING on earth is more frightening to an animal than a human face. High praise for the patience and tactics of not forcing her attention by capture. Better to let her come you on her terms, then just a couple seconds of pet time. Scratching her over the hips is something that cats reserve for trusted people - and other cats💘

[@dellamcgowan7502]

We had a small black cat called Button who became the Cat From Hell. She didn’t want contact, would rip you to shreds, but she never missed watching whatever was going on or going on dog walks. My husband renamed her Nasty. The poor old girl finally got dementia & didn’t have a clue who we were or who she was. It was thought she had a reasonable dose of “wild” in her genes. She lived with our other 6 cats for 15 years, moved 4 times including acres in the country, & created her own place in our hearts. She had a good life & I’m glad we could provide it. Even at personal peril!!

Some cats bond to one person only and that's it. I had a foster cat and I was her person. Then my mom adopted her and now my mom is her person. The cat had a rough start in life and is clearly afraid of most things. She loves my mom but also gets overstimulated easily. Too much petting can quickly result in a swat.
