Nikita always makes a noise when I pick her up when she doesn't want to be picked up. If she's happy with being held for a bit she'll be silent but whenever she's not up for it she'll make a rather funny sounding squawking type of complaining meow when I start lifting her off the ground.
It's actually quite nice, means I don't have to worry about picking her up when she doesn't want to be held 'cos she always lets me know and I back off. It's also a type of meow she uses pretty much only for this. She's otherwise a very vocal cat with lots of different meows, chirps, trills and chatters.
I haven't encountered this in other cats but I'm curious how common it is. Do your cats do this?
