My kitty HATES to be held and his little face kissey, kissey -- but I do it anyway. When I first got him from the Humane Society, he would not let me hold him for a long time -- I had to stretch to pet him. And then the day that he came and got in bed with me and turned over to show me his belly while purring like crazy -- well, then I knew he loved me too :wink:
But I still kiss his little face and he still doesn't like it (or pretends he doesn't) :wink:
