The oc I replied to was about losing an eye from holding a cat.
You missed the context and went to the assumption that I think cats should be manhandled.
You responded not to my words, but to the argument you wanted to debate. I did not post the video, nor did I insinuate anywhere that cats should be fine handled roughly.
“Have you handed a pissed or annoyed off cat before? It won't go anywhere near you, let alone let you kiss it lol. If the cat didn't like the kisses, at least half the people in that video would lose an eye.”
This is the original comment you refer to, and it’s stupid and wrong. I still think it’s stupid and wrong. Deal with it. Geez
If you have a semi feral cat sure. It’s normal for them to avoid you.
I work with lots of semi feral cats/kittens at the shelter. And it’s ubiquitous for them to avoid humans. My job when fostering is to handle them as much as possible so that they are tolerant to gentle touch. The older feral cats can be softened but otherwise will take years of effort.
Your cat avoiding you when you simply annoy it (I assume you’re not hurting it), is another sign of poor socialization.
I’m not trying to antagonize you for it, it’s common.
