Cat doesn't want to be petted or pick up?

Well if the cat is sign means you have to let the cat come to you cuz it might not be so it's still not very comfortable being picked up and you have to when you're trying to pick up the cat then yesterday come up in a certain way that it feels comfortable that it's not going to drop because I have a cat that does not like to get picked up and it's a person I think not a Siamese but my person does not like to get picked up a lot either and petted a lot but it won't run away sometimes when I try to pick it up so that will happen you just have to let it get used to be you and then you can't force that it has to get to know you first and all and it might you might hurt its stomach by accident so yeah be careful with that

How long have you had her? If the answer is 'not that long' then of course she runs! She doesn't know you. You've essentially taken her away from her home and everything she knows. You are a stranger to her. My cats were the same when I first got them. Fast forward nearly 4 years and they're the most affectionate, loving animals ever.

Just be patient and give them time. Talk to her a lot so she gets to know your voice. Don't fuss and she'll be more likely to come to you.

I agree with Helen; she doesn't know you or trust you yet, so please, don't pressure her into loving you on your terms. This is not how cats work. They are NOT dogs that like affection all the time. They are cats that like affection in small doses on THEIR terms.

My kitten was the same way for about a week after we brought him home. We took him away from his brother and sisters and mama, and he had an good time adjusting, but it was strange to him only having two humans for love and affection. He wouldn't run, per se, but he was very cautious of us till one day, he just decided that we would do, LOL, and rubbed up against us and flopped on his back (MAJOR indicator of trust for a cat) and that was that.

Still, he's not SUPER affectionate, but he's very sweet and loving and trusts us completely. As soon as we come home, he's on his back, exposing his fluffy speckled tummy that says, "Yay, mommy and daddy are home and I love and trust them!" But it took TIME, time that YOU need to give her to just adjust and get used to things.

You always let a cat come to you. Just be patient. You can talk to the cat, but don't do anything against her will.

Siamese are very intelligent but cautious cats. Keep playing with her and she will come around but it will only be on her terms. Once she gains your trust you wont be able to sit down without her demanding your attention.

No, some cats are like that, you have to respect it.
