We (me and wife) have a beautiful Brittish Shorthair 3 years old queen. She’s a lovely cat but she dodges away from my caresses and keeps herself aloof and distant most of the time she does not accepts our lapping and or even fauteuil proximity when we are in the living room.
None of us have ever mistreated her, and each time she indulges appearing near us
we salute, cuddling voicing, and invite her repeatedly to approach and join us — and
she immediately turns her back on us and leave the room.
We fail to understand what can trigger this behaviour — on the contrary, we feel this a complete undeserved attitude, which leads us to daily disappointments.
