Hi everyone,
I have two cats, both former strays that we took in. The younger one, Milton, used to be very affectionate and would elicit attention from us, particularly when he was still a stray. Even after he started living in the house he could be very affectionate when he wanted to be.
Lately however, he's had a big aversion to petting. If someone reaches to pet him, he ducks his head and moves away. Oddly enough, he has no problem with anyone picking him up. He doesn't seem to particularly hate it or love it, he just tolerates it until we put him back down.
So, is there any reason for why a cat would suddenly develop an aversion to petting? He's FIV+, if that tells you anything.
Thanks for any help or advice
