HOW CAN i GET MY CATS TO SNUGGLE?!
Reading all the sad posts makes me want to hold my cats tight... but they
are not the snuggly type! They don't like being held, and only come to snuggle when they feel like it, rarely! Is there some way to encourage them to be more snuggly? They are 7, one male and one female. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

It's up to the cats, not us! Cats rule us, not the other way around. |

I sure wish there was a way - but no. Some cats just don't like being
held or hugged at all. My Maine Coon especially. He likes to be near me, but not held. He is very lovey though and enjoys being petted - especially if it is done softly. Cats like to be the ones in charge! The Cat Whisperer wrote: Reading all the sad posts makes me want to hold my cats tight... but they are not the snuggly type!

I took a break from Usenet, and the other day, I looked at my calendar. September, I said to myself. And sure enough. Congratulations on being saved BTW. I'm still headed for damnation. Charlie |

Cats just vary widely. I used to have a cat named Albert, and I loved him dearly. He didn't mind being picked up, but he didn't want to be on my lap or snuggle. I didn't care. He had his own comfort zone, and he was a very good companion. Sadly he died of cancer, many years ago. Now, my present cat, Tweaker, is very affectionate. At night he curls up next to me in bed, and he snuggles right up to my head. A lot of people tend to think their cats view them as servants, but I don't think that is accurate. Cats think of people as friendly cohabitants who have control over the food supply and other items of comfort or necessity. By nature, however, they vary in how they express their feelings. If a cat doesn't want close physical contact, how can it possibly be expected to know that its owner does? Charlie |
