very strange cat behaviour  |
|
 The office my boyfriend works in has a cat that visits every day partly to get fed and partly for affection. He actually lives a few houses down.
He has the strangest behaviour I've ever known. You can grab him and tickle him under the chin and he'll struggle and appear not be happy about it but he has a full body purr, which as far as I know is a sign of kitty pleasure.
I've never known a cat to be so contradictory, every cat I've known has either purred or let you know in no uncertain way that they are not happy about it.
I know there are a lot of cat experts here so I wondered if this was completely unusual or maybe there are other contrary cats.

1.  Wolfechu (824) | 4 weeks ago |  One of my cats is like that. She'll sit happily next to me (and is doing so right now), even on me while I'm sat at the desk, but if you pick her up, she'll push away from you, ending up 'standing' on you at right angles to gravity. Still happily purring away while you pet her.
I think some of them just don't like being picked up, but put up with it for the benefits.

2.  nancyrowina (1694) | 4 weeks ago |  cat's do knead you when you pick them up sometimes using their claws too which could be seen as hostile but they are actually showing affection, I wonder if this cats struggling is just an over the top version of this behaviour? I have a cat who doesn't like being picked up at all and she certainly doesn't purr if you do, you have to wait for her to come to you for affection. I've never known a cat to purr and try to get away at the same time it is unusual.

| 3. Tasche (102) | 4 weeks ago |  Sometimes they behave like: "Okay I know you`re friendly but I don`t like to be touched. Please take care but don`t touch me!" That is why my cat even purr when I feat him.

| 4. markvv1 (25) | 4 weeks ago |  I have looked up on a web site before about cats purring. Supposedly when they purr, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are happy. All that purring is is that they are having an intense emotion at the moment. So the emotion that this cat could be having is that it doesn't like being tickled. It is hard to say though because generally cats like their chins to be touched.
