Touchy Cats: Which Cat Breeds Don't Like Being Handled or Cuddled

Almost every person who decides to take a cat into their home thinks about how nice it will be to hug and pet the purring creature.

But not every animal will agree to such conditions.

The thing is that a lot depends on the breed. Some simply cannot stand being squeezed and petted too often.

British cat

Such pets seem "plush". You really want to hug them and pick them up. The cat will be a devoted companion, but you won't be able to pet it often.

Persian cat

She does not like it when her personal boundaries are violated. In response, she can scratch or bite.

Russian Blue

Her grey-blue fur coat, refined manners and calm nature will conquer anyone. But such a kind animal can release its claws if you pester it.

Maine Coon

A representative of this breed would prefer to lie down next to the owner's feet rather than on his lap.

Bengal cat

An independent and slightly flighty pet will choose games and other activities, but it will be difficult to make him sit quietly in your arms.
