Why Won't My Cat Let Me Cuddle It?

The short answer to this is : because it IS a cat ! Cats are notoriously 'picky'. It probably knows that you want to cuddle it, so it won't let you do this.
It may be that the cat was never handled properly when still a kitten and so it never felt comfortable being handled. Now it has translated this into 'I don't do cuddles'.
Cats are all individual and unique and we cannot train cats (which is one of the reasons why we love them), so this situation is likely to remain unchanged.
You could, however, turn the tables a little. If your cat is not affectionate and is indifferent. be the same, just ignore him/her a bit more, do not try to pick him/her up. Try this for about a month and you may find that the cat is a little more demanding of love and attention..... but on the other hand, you may not !

Let the cat come to you and feed it by hand and be very nice and calm. Do not make quick movements.
