What should I do if my cat does not like to be held?
If a cat resists being held, do not force it. Win its favor with toys and food, spend time together, and build trust patiently so it grows dependent and comes to you. Never scold or hit the cat or force unwanted contact, or it will only grow more distant.
Does a hamster hold a grudge after being hit?

Where do cats like to be petted most?
Cats generally enjoy being stroked on the chin, cheeks, head and back, and many also like a gentle pat on the rear (just above the tail).

How to make up with a cat you’ve hit?

Does a Cat’s Purring Always Mean It’s Happy?
Most purring does mean a relaxed, content cat, produced by vocal-cord vibration at 20–140 Hz. But cats also purr to self-soothe when stressed, anxious, or in pain (arthritis, illness, labor), and a fast, tense purr with flattened ears signals distress. If purring comes with appetite loss, odd litter-box habits, or lethargy, see a vet.
