Why cats don’t like being held
1 , The posture of holding the cat is wrong
In fact, many owners in real life do not master the real posture of holding the cat. Every time they hold the cat, the cat feels uncomfortable, so the cat is naturally unwilling to be held, and kept breaking free. The correct cat posture should be: one hand supports the cat’s front legs, and the other hand supports the cat’s hind legs, just like holding a baby. Such a hug can give the cat enough security and make it comfortable, and the cat will naturally not break free.
2. Differences in cat personality
There are certain personality differences among cats, and the personality of breed cats is relatively better, such as Ragdoll, Maine Coon, Garfield , Jinjila and other cat breeds have relatively good personalities, belonging to the type of personality that is less active and quiet. The pastoral cat, Siamese cat and other cat breeds are more active and lively. It is usually difficult to stay quiet for a long time, and naturally they are not willing to stay in the arms of their owners.

For the cat that has just been brought home, the owner should first let him familiarize himself with the environment, do not force close to the cat, and gradually increase the relationship with the cat every day, wait for the cat to gradually After adapting to the environment and recognizing the Lord, try to hold it again.
2. You can pet the cat more when you are free. Of course, if the cat is more active at the time, don’t force it to get close to you, otherwise you will only get hurt, so choose the right time Petting the cat is key, and you can strengthen your bond with your cat by petting him while he’s in a daze or lying down. When the cat is used to your petting, it will naturally not reject being close to you.
