Some pet owners are confused as to why their cat likes to follow them, but when they want to hold it, it will avoid it. In fact, cats don’t let you hold them, but they like to follow you. They want to tell you these things!
The cat refuses to be hugged, but likes to follow you. It may be that it has begun to try to accept you, but because you have not passed the "trial period", it does not trust you very much and wants to observe you again, so it refuses to have such intimate contact with you as a hug.
A cat likes to follow you but won't let you hold it. It may also be because you hold the cat incorrectly, making it feel uncomfortable. Maybe it has a shadow on your hug, so when you hug it, it will struggle. But the cat likes you and wants to be with you, so it will always follow you and look at you.
Cat is an animal that likes freedom. When it is held by its owner, especially when it is hugged tightly, it will give the cat a sense of restraint and make the cat feel uncomfortable. Then it doesn't like the feeling of being controlled, so once it is held, it will struggle in various ways to let you let it go.
But when you put it down, it will follow you like a follower. Maybe the cat just wants to follow you freely.
Although cats like their owners very much and want to follow them all the time, their emotions are actually relatively reserved. They don't like to have too close contact with people. Even the people they love in their hearts want to have a certain sense of distance. The cat will have contact with you, but this contact is voluntary, not forced.
Therefore, if you don’t want your cat to lose interest in you, you should never force your cat to hold or interact with it. This will only make the cat annoying.
If you don’t hold the cat very often, but every time you hold the cat, you bathe it, cut nails, etc., which are things that scare the cat, then the cat will not let you hold it. After all, in the cat’s heart, the owner may hold it to take it to “execution”, then of course it will struggle and refuse.
If your cat is usually resistant to nail cutting and other things, the pet owner can comfort it or give it some delicious snacks to divert its attention, and the cat will cooperate with you more.
Conclusion: Will your cat let you hold it?
