Why do baby cats meow so much when you pick them up?

Answer 1

If the cat has spent alot of time around humans, it will adapt in order to fit better into its environment. If you have a toddler in your home, your cat sees that the toddler's method of reaching is extremely effective. Also, we as humans act similarly to what we see. This is called modeling behavior (monkey see, monkey do). That is how we learn to survive in our world. A house pet also conforms somewhat to human norms, such as sitting on someone's lap or meowing. In nature, cats are solitary animals and would never cuddle. Actually, cats dont even meow naturally. If you've ever seen cats together, you will notice that they don't meow to eachother. Cats learned to meow as a means to interact with humans. Using the same methodology, one can assume the same reason for reaching out like a toddler.

Answer 2

She/He is probably just showing affection or is just playing with you. Most likely not a signs of aggressiveness unless you have hurt them some way. This could also be your cat trying to show dominance over you. Most likely just playing though.

Answer 3

Cats bite you when they see you because they think you might hurt them. But if you pat them from behind and slowly go up to there head they nkow you just want to play and no hurt them

Answer 4

No they just want you to pick them up so they can scratch you in the face!

Answer 5

Because you are not the kitty's mother! The kitty's mother knows just how to pick up her kitten; you don't!

Answer 6

In general, cats don't like to be picked up. Of my 6 cats only one is happy to be held, all the others want down again almost immediately.
