Why do cats hold their arms and kick their legs? Cats may hold their arms and kick their legs because they may feel very comfortable or try to express their joy. They may do so to show rest, or to indicate that they want some specific attention.

When raising cats, you must pay close attention to the cat's living habits. Cats hold people's arms and kick their legs, usually because the cat does not want to be disturbed and hopes that the owner can leave. This is a manifestation of the cat's fighting or defense.

When a cat is attacking or being attacked, they will turn over and turn their backs. Because in such a position, the cat can make full use of its four claws to defend. The cat can use its forelimbs to grab the opponent, and then use it to backwards to kick the opponent's exposed abdomen.

Most cats in the wild do not want to fight for a long time. They want to use this fast attack or defense method to cause pain or damage to their opponents, so that their opponents will know their combat effectiveness, so that their opponents will retreat.

If the dear cat reacts this way when the father tries to touch it, it may sometimes mean the cat wants to play games with its owner. Dear friends should often see cats and other cats perform this behavior when playing, but they will not use as much force as they fight. Cats usually don't hurt each other when playing games.

However, because humans do not have thick coats, cats will unconsciously scratch their hands or arms.

However, please remember that cats will also show this behavior when they feel that they want to defend themselves or hope that their dear will stop touching. If the cat grabs the kisses' hands and the hind legs are kicking harder, then the cat may want to tell the kiss: Stop, stop quickly!

At the same time, dears should also remember that not every time a cat lies down and rolls around on the ground with its belly exposed, but just wants the kiss to caress their belly. Cats do this to show their trust to their owners (or other cats), which means they are not feeling threatened.
