Imagine that you come back home after a long and tiring day at the popcorn mines and all you want is some peace and quiet. You brew yourself a heartwarming mug of hot chocolate, put on a wholesome rom-com, and start looking for your cat so you can cuddle with it in an evening of bliss.

However, your cat’s in no mood to be hugged, cradled, or petted! It tells you ‘NO’ in very clear terms and you’re left devastated. So much so that you take a photo and post it on the internet. Bored Panda has collected some of the funniest and most emotional pics of cats telling their owners that they’re definitely not in the mood to cuddle and it’ll improve your mood, no doubt about it. As you scroll down through this feline wonderland, remember to upvote the pics of the cats that you’d definitely love to hug. And be sure to let us know in the comment section how your cat reacts to your cuddles!

Ingrid Johnson, a certified cat behavior consultant and the founder of Fundamentally Feline, told Bored Panda that each cat's desire for physical touch is unique and different. And it's when we fail to notice when our cats aren't comfortable with being hugged that we might get bitten or scratched.
