My cat wont let anybody pat or pick it up. It hates everybody. It only lets me pat it because I feed it the most I tried renaming it and it only sometimes comes to its new name. It comes in my bed but at my feet when nobody else is home. Any tips on how i can get it to like me more or any other family.
Some cats just don't care much for people.
First cat I had liked being picked up, petted, held on my shoulder like a baby, it would walk up to complete strangers for affection.
I got two cats that seem to have Maine Coon parentage and they do like being pet (at their own discretion), but don't like being picked up at all, and run and hide in their cat tree if the UPS man drops off a package at the front door and run for their lives if someone other than me is in the house.
I think some cats just be that way.
If there's any chance to change it, it's probably when they're kittens.
