No she doesn't like you...maybe if you spent more time with her, things would be different. Try taking her for a walk every once in a while. Maybe ya'll could watch a movie together. Milo and Otis happens to be a great "family" movie. Hope this helps!

Sounds like one of my cats. Oreo will come and demand attention and sit with me but only on her terms and her time. Thats how cats are. When I go to pick her up she runs aways and when I put my hand down to pet her she will ignore me for a min. but then come see me. She has to make sure I know that she is coming in her own time.

My cat is 4 1/2 years old and she's still like that sometimes. On her good days, she'll come to me but no one else. Cats are just very independent and choosy like that. If she's even willing to come to you when you aren't trying to pick her up and exposes her tummy to you, then she trusts you and loves you.

She is being playful she adores you as she wouldn't be playing if she was uncomfortable or didn't like you. Chase her around buy her some Catnip and let her eat/roll around in it. Get a toy that you can play with her with. Like a string and just go nuts with her. I promise that it will deepen both her feelings for you and yours for her. Good Luck!!

Cats can be psychotic--don't worry about it. She wants attention, but only on her own terms. Pick up a newspaper, and she'll be sitting on top of it, wanting you to pet her. If she didn't like you, she wouldn't want anything to do with you ever.

No! She is real young and playful. She is probably inviting u with all her energy to run around and play a while. Sounds like a nice cat you have.

Cats are like that. SHe is a kitten... sound fairly typical. Cats will be petted when the have the time... That is just how they are. Your cat will calm down later in life... and yes your cat loves you... you feed her.

she does like you, and she wants your attention. but cats are loners. she runs away probably because she doesn't want to be petted anymore. my cat does that, and she's bored at home, so she always wants to run outside to chase bugs. cats are like some men, get what they want and then leave you alone.

She's playing with you. My cat loves to play chase.
Or maybe she doesn't like to be picked up. Some cats just don't like it.

Your cat probably just doesn't like to be held. Most of the cats that I have ever met are like that.
