9:54 Early Friday Night   The Difference Between Him and Cat When I gather Minnaloushe into my arms, he fights and tries to get away. He doesn't like to be held. He only likes to be touched on his terms, and never enjoys being held. On rare occasion, when he feels super affectionate, he will sit in someone's lap, but he doesn't like to be hugged. I guess that is a part of being a cat, but it sure does make me sad. I can hug my dog, but my dog isn't as nice to hug. Besides, my dog's tail hurts when he wags it and it hits my face. I miss being held, anyway.
