Why doesn't my cat like having his rump scratched?

Most cats raise their rumps when you scratch them. My male siamese cat always lowers his when you scratch it. He even seems annoyed if you continue doing it and tries to walk away from your hand. It doesn't matter if I do it soft or hard. Has anybody else experienced this with their cats?

    Some like it, some don't. Perfectly normal. Actually, my male loves to be scratched on his rump, he'll even attempt to kiss the air if nothing is in front of his face. My female, however, is a little more hesitant. It's not that she doesn't like it but more like she can't decide. She'll take it for a little and then move on, ha.

    Hmm,

    Well, all cats are different,

    For instance:

    Our old male cat hates to get wet, when our kitten goes outside in the winter and jumps in the water tub that the ducks use to swim in!

    Maybe your cat is just one of the few cats that don't like their rumps scratched. They say that they dont like their bellies rubbed either, but I know that isn't true with our old cat, he loves it!

    As others have suggested, your appropriate wager is to get it to the vet. the only thank you to be attentive to for helpful that the cat has intestinal parasites is thru a stool pattern run via the vet. they are able to then medicate consequently if needed. for the time of an entire actual, the vet would be waiting to tell you each and everything else, which includes available skin subjects ( which includes ringworm, that's unquestionably a fungus) , ear mites, fleas and so on. The well-being practitioner will then be waiting to, presented the cat is healthful, administer vaccines. this will additionally be a solid time to establish a spay/neuter if no longer executed already.

    I have had cats in the past that did not like to have the area near their tail scratched. My cat would not lower his back when you pet him he would just smack your hand if he didn't like what you were doing. As long as it doesn't seem like the cat is uncomfortable then I wouldn't worry about it. They're like any other creature in that they all have their own likes/dislikes.
