Why do cats not like their tails touched or held?
For the same reason you don't... ;)

Why Do Cats Not Like Their Tail Touched

The cat's tail is the main part of their body for telling what they're feeling. Some think it's pleasing to have their tail groomed, some don't. Just like how some people like to be touched or rubbed in some places, other people dont. (ex. shoulder massages, tickle spots)

Some do and some don't - it depends on the personality of the cat. I have 4 cats and 3 of the four don't mind if you touch their tail....but my schizophrenic kitty doesn't like his tail or belly touched. He's afraid of his own shadow. Go figure!

Well ... if you rule out a medical reason / tail pain with your vet, from my experience, it's probably just because some cats are very much their own person and just like people, have their likes and dislikes ... some hate their tails touched, for some it's their paws, head, mouth, belly, back ... and from my experience, again, with cats, it's easier for us to just suck it up and deal with it and respect who they are, rather than try to make them change :-)

Because there really sensitive to it. Some like it some dont. Its kinda like some people like to be touched and others dont. Its a matter of preferance hope that helps.

They are afraid we will steal their tails since we don't have one.

Probably the same reason most people feel that way.
