Civet cats may not like being held because of fear, improper posture, etc. The owner can prepare some toys to play with the cat to enhance their relationship and make the cat feel more secure. Sometimes the owner's holding posture may make the cat feel uncomfortable. Cats that resist strongly and even scratch their owners, and have a pungent smell on their bodies are not willing to let their owners get close to them. Cihuahua cats have a lively and active personality and do not like to be restrained most of the time.
