If your cat doesn't like you petting her, it doesn't mean she doesn't like you.
We explain why some cats categorically refuse to let themselves be petted.
Why the cat does not let itself be petted
There may be several reasons for this behavior.
Most likely, the cat is poorly socialized or has had an extremely negative experience with humans.
Breed also plays a big role. If you have a Siamese or British cat, don't be surprised that it doesn't always allow you to pet it.
The cause may also be illness. If your pet suddenly starts avoiding you, it is most likely sick, you should contact a veterinarian.
