This Persian Cat’s Mixed Feelings About Being Held Are Hilarious

Some cats love to be held and cuddled, while other cats would rather be anywhere else than caught up in someone’s arms. And to be truthful, some kitties are both and neither at different parts of the same day.
In this video, we meet a fluffy Persian cat resting in his mom’s arms, with the funniest look on his face that’s impossible to read. He looks both really frustrated and deeply uncomfortable, yet deeply in love. The mixed signals are what make this so funny, and everyone should see it. Take a look!
orange-toned Persian cat named Shiloh and his mama, Nellie. In the clip, we can see Nellie holding Shiloh up on her shoulders in a sweet, gentle hug. But it’s the look on Shiloh’s face that has everyone’s attention, and it’s making me both smile and giggle.
He looks equal parts annoyed with being in his mom’s arms and somehow also very happy to be there. His face is grouchy, but that could just be the look of a Persian cat, and his giant paws are swimming in the air like he’s trying to swim away or make air biscuits. A sign that he’s very happy and loved, but his face is confusing.
