Touching cats is hard to resist -after all they are sooo soft and furry. Touch is important for many creatures. It is a social interaction and helps members of a group bond together.
Cats groom and rub against each other in greeting. Humans touching cats is a different experience for the cats. Our flexible fingers can pinch and grab, brushing fur the wrong way and squeezing sensitive paws.
Studies at the California Institute of Technology found that mice had specific neurons that respond to gentle but firm stroking. But touch can be "touchy" - if the "touchee" does not like the "toucher" or is just not in the mood to be touched, even what usually feels good can be repulsive.
In this video, a young cat from a trap-neuter-release program is introduced to human touch. Before touching, she learns some vocabulary, such as "head" and "back". Verbal cues are used before handling to help her anticipate what is going to happen.
