Why do cats like to hold hands and pedal? Cats like to hold hands because this behavior helps them feel safe, protected and intimate. They will use their hands as a warm pillow to protect themselves, and it is also a way to express their intimacy with you.

Sometimes when the cat pedals around while playing games, so if the owner is held and kicked by it while trying to caress the cat, it means the cat wants the owner to play with him. The cat will not cause harm when playing, so it will not kick its owner very hard at this time.

The cat also shows this behavior when it feels like it is going to defend, or wants its owner to stop touching itself. If the cat holds the owner's hand and the hind legs are kicking more and more forcefully, the cat may want to tell the owner to "stop quickly". At this time, the owner should avoid contacting the cat to avoid harm.
