I've been there. My advice is get him a kitten, a little girl. He will love her, and she will love you. I had 12 great years this way!

Right now this cat glares at me from across the room. He makes many meows but gives no cuddles, only very angry eyes.

But it is the job of the cat to provide cuddles for food. This cat only attacks the ankles.

Are you saying I should rehome him?


I am saying give him time and don't expect him to act just the way you want him to. Not all cats are cuddly the way some people want them to be. If you want really cuddly, etc., you may be a dog person rather than a cat person.


Dogs are too much in my personal space.

Yes, he was giving the warmth at the shelter and was showing much affections. Now he only attacks my ankles and would like to eat my skin.

Thank you! I'll give him more time to warm up with me.

I do hug him and squeeze him. All the time. It makes him more distant.

Adopted a cat not too long ago for the sole purpose of receiving cuddles and love. Cat will not cuddle or reciprocate affection.

What do I do?
