Not all cats are terribly cuddly or like feeling out of control. On the flip side, there are plenty of cats who are contented to be cradled all day long! I happen to have one of each! :) Just as people have different personalities, so do cats.

It could also just be that you aren\\\’t holding your cat in a manner that makes it feel secure, or that you\\\’re doing something that makes it uncomfortable. Here are some tips for holding a cat: http://www.catster.com/guides/cat_health_and_care/bringing_your_cat_home/how_to_hold_a_cat/how_to_hold_a_cat

The kitty might not have gotten that kind if attention when very young to get used to it. I hold my kitten with one hand under her to keep her secure and I lean back a little so she just leans onto me. You could try using treats if you have a cat that struggles, it might not work though. But it all could be just how that certain cat is personality wise. Hope this helps! =^.^=
