  • Thanks for your post! I've been doing basically what you suggested but it's like they're not caving in yet! I don't try to push it because I can see they're resistant.

    My cats are healthy, I know for sure because they go to the vets so that's not the issue. I got them when they were only 8 weeks old, they're brother and sister, and the lady I got them from had no kids or anything and I'm sure they weren't handled roughly so I guess it's just instinct or whatever. I was hoping I could make them cuddly! It's weird how cats just don't give a fuck!

    • They have their individual preferences too lol. I also have a brother & sister pair. The male really doesn't tolerate being held but the female occasionally will purr when I hold her.

      Like a lot of other people said here, cats do tend to become more cuddly as they get older like over 6 years old.
