My cat does not like to cuddle. She does not like being on my lap or handled in any way. She tolerates petting on her head and back. Normally when I try for a belly rub she tries to paw my hand away so I guess that means she does not like that. I think the only physical contact that she enjoys/tolerates from humans is petting. She doesn't like being touched at the feet or paws and will pull away. Any type of cuddling or handling causes her to start walking away. How do I accept the fact that my cat does not like to cuddle? She doesn't like to be on my lap and wants my attention only when she's hungry. It seems that she is perfectly fine with paying no attention to me all day and simply eating, sleeping, and pooping. It feels kind of odd to buy her food, clean her poop, and take care of her only to have her show me no affection. Is this strange behavior?
