My niece's cat he'll scratch and bite if one of us rubs his belly more then three times. I swear he counts too..He'll allow petting but only a certain amount if one of us goes over we get scratched. Nothing bad just a swat on the hand-enough to tell you he's had enough.
My cat is the opposite atleast with me. Once he's done playing he'll demand I pet him. He'll meow at me if I stop petting. He'll sleep on me at night in bed with me. I lay on my side and he'll lay right on my leg or up by my arm.
Could be because they were never really domesticated fully. I've seen strays around here that don't allow humans to go near them let alone touch them. They're feral though for the most part.
Yes, I think they are not fully domesticated. They let people come as close as you want and can even brush your legs when they want to but will not let you touch them. So they are not strays really but not fully domesticated either.
