The reasons why cats don’t like to be held:
1. If the posture of holding the cat is incorrect, the cat will feel uncomfortable and restrained, and the cat will want to break free.

2. If the cat is not familiar enough with its owner and remains vigilant, it will not let the owner get close to it. The owner usually needs to interact with the cat more to enhance the relationship.

3. If the owner has a smell that the cat doesn’t like, it will also resist the owner’s hugs and touches.

4. If the owner has hugged other pets and the cat smells the smell of other pets on the owner and becomes jealous, it will refuse to let the owner hold it.

5. When a cat feels scared or nervous, it will run away if you hold it forcibly. When the cat's mood stabilizes, it will no longer resist.
