Is it normal that every time i see my cat, i have to pick it up?

So, every time i see my cat i HAVE to pick him up and hug him no matter what. I'm addicted to it, it's just he's SO SQUISHY and fluffy!. Is it normal that i have to hold him all the time, even though it annoys him sometimes?, even to the point where he meows because he is annoyed.?

    You're lucky he hasn't turned you into ribbons.

    Do you squeeze him until he farts?

    Pick your cat up sometimes.. But not TOO OFTEN. Honestly most cats do not like it, you would not like if fluffy suddenly got super powers & started lifting you too.

    I've learned that if i ever pick one of my cats up, i make it quick.. Usually just kiss them on the head or gently pet them for 3 - 4 seconds.

    My kitten sometimes purr after picking it up, but pretty quickly wants down again.

    Don't over do it, cats get easily frustrated

    I feel the urge too but try to resist to avoid annoying him.

    Maybe that's why they are called "pets". Maybe in your case we call them "hugs".

    No, I think that's horrible... I love my cat more than anything in the world but I've probably picked them up less than 10 times in the last 6-7 years.

    I do it too! my cat never really gets annoyed though she usually purrs as soon as I pick her up,but cats are so lovely so it's hard not to. If your cat gets annoyed just put her down, but really if you are living with another animal you are bound to annoy each other sometimes. Like sometimes my cat knocks my stuff over when she gets too hyper or she shoves her cold nose into the back of my neck when she wants to cuddle and I am trying to do homework. So it's fine plus cuddling cats relives stress as long as you don't pick your cat up for so long that it starts to get really annoyed!

      Lucky you, haha sadly every time I try to pick up my cat he goes into a full blown frenzy trying his best to claw my face. Other than that though my cat claws everyone else, but me.
