    Respect their boundaries and stop touching them if they don’t invite the approach.

      Cats are more fickle than that. For example, my cats will literally approach me seeking attention and do this the moment I try to pet them.

        I will be laying down, my cat will walk up, lean against the bed, poke me a few times then just…walk the fuck away.

      Yeah no, cats will do this after they invite the approach regardless. They will plead for pets for minutes and dodge when you try… And then mine circles around, slams her head into my hand and repeats the process

        Love the super aggressive headbutts, mine puts his entire body weight into it like it’s an attack.

      My cat will literally be purring like a tractor, tail up high, rubbing himself against me but become like this the moment I try to pet him
