And you wonder why there are all those grumpy cats.

A new study says that slow petting and stroking that is so beneficial to
humans could be absolutely nerve-wracking to the animals on the
receiving end. Researchers from Austria, Brazil and the UK say they were
surprised to find that cats that avoid being touched were healthier
than those who allowed this interaction. In fact, this study also
suggests other commonly understood behaviors of cats may be incorrect,
such as their desire to live solitary lives without feline
companionship. The results of this study have been published in the
journal Physiology and Behavior and were presented during a conference held in Portugal, Spain last month.
