Twitter Users Share Emotionally Damaging Moments Of Being "Despised" After Petting Cats

Cats are well-known for their "haughtiness" and "nobleness". They don't stick with people all the time but stroll around disengaged and enjoy their isolation. For that reason, they are sometimes misunderstood to be unfriendly and arrogant. For example, felines can avoid being petted or licking their fur carefully after being touched.
Are they trying to tell us to stay away from them? Is the grooming for showing their disgust toward us human beings? What should we do (or feel) when we get these reactions after petting kittens? Well, if you have questioned those things, this Twitter thread is absolutely for you.
A popular Twitter account about cat memes @memesiwish tweeted "Does anyone feel offended when this happens" to describe the awkward after-petting-feline situation and got a lot of responses. People found the thread funny and familiar. Besides, some kitty experts participated in the discussion and explained why cats reacted that way.
It turned out that these kittens neither despised people nor stopped people from petting them. Grooming was one of cats' extinct to self-adjust and protect their sensory organ. Therefore, there was no need to feel emotionally damaged when a cat mindfully cleaned himself (herself) after being petted.
On the contrary, some naughty pet owners found it a good chance to tease their furballs. They admitted being petty, but they couldn't help giggling to see their bossy cats grooming themselves little by little.
Let's wait no more and explore the whole thread for now!
