Most ferrets whether male or female don't like to be restrained, they are very active animals. Female ferrets tend to be more hyper, male ferrets are more laid back, but there are always exceptions as each ferret has it's own personality

∙ 14y agoMany cats are very independent. They like being free and feel as if they are being held captive whenever you hold them. That is not all cats though. This also has to do with the cat's past. Where did you get the cat? If you got it from a shelter then it won't be trustful of humans. If you really want it to love it when you hold it, then build you trust(food,toys,anything that makes your cat happy.)
________________________________________
If your cat doesn't like to be held, try holding her more gently, or not holding her at at all. Make a "shelf" of your arms for her to lay or stand on, so that the can knows she can easily get away. If your cat is more skittish than that, you can sometimes work up to it by encouraging her to sit on the edge or back of your chair, and pet her - but don't hold her.
One of my cats was very fearful of being held when I got her, but gradually would jump up on the back of my sofa and office chair. It took a few months to build up the trust so that she knew she could easily escape when I picked her up. ;3

∙ 13y agoWith all honesty it is natural for a human to find being petted more comforting and soothing rather then hugs, but because of our common day knowledge and influences on TV and such, people will consider it to be kind of creepy and strange to pet someone. When Hugged animals tend to feel this as a trap. They feel insecure and unable to move. They are held in arms and unable to escape. Trapped and prey to their capture. While petting is relaxing and soothing.

∙ 14y agoProbably because they don't want to be held. Some cats just are not the cuddly sort.
It also could be because of some sort of health issue. It might be in pain when you hold it, you should take them to the vet for a check up soon.
