She doesn't trust the feeling. With such cats; I move in exaggerated slow motion, telegraphing that I have no bad intent. Relaxing this kind of cat means we don't pet on the head; we don't loom over them; we don't try to pick them up. Just letting a hand hang there, for them to use, can be a useful move.

She's the second youngest and doesn't seem to like a lot of attention; she loves curling up around her fake tree trunk behind my TV, peering out at me on occasion, or digging through my underwear drawer. If i pet her she purrs and grabs with claws, rakes, and bites me-still purring, growls quickly then continues to purr,. tail swishing about in annoyance-even when she comes to me for some sort of attention! And if I leave her alone she gets grumpy and leaves! D: She has me stumped...! Except she really loves being in the bathroom when my Father has a bath; only him though, no one else.

We need to be on the lookout for ways in which our cats communicate with us. They really are tender affectionate little creatures....in between diva moments. You’re absolutely right.
