One nice thing about having raised my cat from a 10-week-old kitten is that he's well and truly imprinted on me and picked up on my ways of showing affection. He'll jump right up into my lap when I'm at my computer and nuzzle up to me. And when I let him down, it won't be five minutes before he's right next to my chair again meowing his little head off until I pick him up and snuggle him some more.
The shelter said Rocky was around 3 when I got him. I'd already had Chloe for several years then. She'd gotten along okay with Buzz, who had died a year earlier, she she wanted nothing to do with Rocky, hissing and spitting if he got near her. Two years later, there is less hissing and spitting, but they mostly avoid each other. Anyway, while I know Rocky has affection for me, not only will he not cuddle, he won't let me be on the same vertical level as he. If I sit on the floor, he moves away. If he's on my bed at bedtime, and I get in bed, he will leave if I stretch out to touch him. The only time he'll sit on the couch near me is if I'm giving him a Squeeze-Up. And if he wants food, or a brushing , or go into the garage, he sits by the door to the garage and *WAILS* until I go insane. I must be standing to pet or brush him. I figure he must have been abused, but how the hell long does it have to be before he trusts me? I admit I sometimes don't react well to his wailing, but after two years there is absolutely no change. I'm 74 and can't play with him very well because he gets bored quickly with toys that move on their own and I can't stand for long periods of time. Also because I'm 74 I don't feel I should get a 3rd cat, but Rocky's behavior hurts and/or infuriates me. I WILL NOT take him back to the shelter. I hoped this video would give me some tips, but... no.
Ever since we got her @8 weeks she is a shorthair tuxedo, does not enjoy being held or sleep under a blankets when it’s cold, she will be 2 in April, (we don’t know the exact date) she likes being in the same room when she is in for the night
My two cats want to be in any room I’m in. They constantly offer me their bellies for belly rubs. I awaken and always find one sleeping next to my face. I know they love me, but they do not enjoy being held and would never cuddle. It drives me nuts. They’re sisters, so maybe it in their family genes. Their mom was feral
Nice video, but i believe some Scottish Fold cats are shown. Since the health problems of that breed do not show them much in the video's please. they are beautiful but beauty hurts them.
