Some cats are stressed by being petted.

I told my oldest cat about the study. She said that all the hands that shouldn't be petting the cats that get stressed out should come pet her. She can never get enough. We have had three people petting her with both hands at times. If one person stops she glares at them until they start again.

My husband thinks she might be a bit spoiled. I like to avoid trouble so I just keep petting the queen.
