Yes, my cat didn't like being picked up or even stroked when she was a young kitten. For a few weeks I still picked her up though and each time she stayed there a bit longer. I gave her a LOT of love and interaction and she soon got used to it.
Now, even if I just catch her eye she starts to purr. She follows me everywhere, sits on my knee all the time, sleeps with me and gives me lots of cat cuddles.
Can a cat learn to like being picked up?
