>>7527078>>7527741I have a cat that is very possessive and loves me, but she still likes to have a little distance. If I pick her up she'll growl/whine at me until I let her go like she's just tolerating me, but she'll also meet my hand when I pet her while she's doing it so she's not really upset.
Cats also react differently to different sorts of people. For some reason moody bratty female cats love me. Affectionate male cats usually run away from me even if I'm nice to them. It's just how cats are.
