So I have a pet cat named "boops". Yes, the cat is called boops i just liked that name. So he's a male and he's about 2 years old (human years). This cat is the strangest cat we've ever had. The last was snowball who 7 years (human years) and he was the most well behaved cat. Unfortunately one summer i went on vacation and when we came back he just never came back.My grandpa said he looked for him but no luck :(.. Anyway back to Boops. Omg this cat is WEIRD. HE doesnt like anyone touching him.Since he was a little kitten. He tries to nip you or he snarls when u touch or accidentally graze him when you're walking but he always tries and rub up on you or uses my foot as his pillow. Sometimes he puts his whole body on my foot and just goes to sleep. Sometimess he goes around just meowing and its so annoying because its not the regular meow. Its different somehow. He sleeps in the weirdest positions. I swear he's doing cat yoga Like if a vehicle was to park outside our house he would go under the vehicle and rub up his body all over the underneath of the vehicle. Which you know cause a mess cause he always comes out dirty. Cats already dont like baths!Oh yeah. Not to forget there were times when he would go our beds and literally grasps our clothes or sheets with his teeth and starts humping em.. What is going on with this cat or is it natural? What other weird pet behaviours that pet owners experience Please do share! Im interested Below is an image of his many sleep positions. I tried to upload it but it just would do

hi there! I got lots of cats but there is this one cat who I think is weird. My cay named puspus does not want to eat together with the other cats. she just let them eat and after them, she'll have her share. She'll just sit and wait for all the other cat to stop eating. I thinks boops is just normal. Try to pat him from time to time until he'll get used to it. Is he neutered?

I've been doing that for 2 years now and he's still not used to it. No he's not neutered

Has he been neutered? If he hasn't then you should get it done. It would probably change his behavior for the better. And it's much healthier for him to be fixed. I also have had several strange cats. I had one who didn't like being touched. When he wanted to get petted he would let you know. But you had to wait for an invitation or else he would bite. I think he had very sensitive skin. Sometimes I would see his back start twitching like crazy and then he'd run off somewhere away from everybody. All my cats have been indoor cats but they had access to the (fenced in) back yard only when we were out there with them. As long as you respect Boops' feelings everything should be okay. There is a condition called Feline Hyperesthesia or overly sensitive skin. But my vet said my cat didn't have it because he wasn't that bad and it was only about 3/4 of the time he was sensitive, not all the time. He also didn't chew himself. Here's an interesting link about that: www.cathealth.com/skin-and-fur/feline-hyperesthesia Give Boops a pat on the head for me (if he'll let you!)

I would dare try ..I prefer my hand without scratches on them. I read the link and he doesnt exhibit none of the above symptoms. I unbelievable how sensitive he is! I cant imagine if he was a female cat.. Wow that would be something else. Btw no he's not fixed

Your cat is cute because she sleeps on your foot. haha. Oh about rubbing then all cats rub like that i guess because I cat used to rub on who ever is sitting and it was car also. yes as far as i know many cats don't like to be touched. So be careful.. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.
