I'm surprised that so many of the cats (there were a few in the video) tolerated being touched all over like that. But the one sure reacted.

I found this somewhere on the web:
Cats really do have different temperaments. Our neutered males have been the most laid back. Our current two often roll over and want their tummies rubbed.
Many years ago, we adopted an adorable little 8 week-old Russian Blue female that we named Misha. She got all the coddling that any cat could want, but she was so high-strung that if she laid on my chest and I looked at her in the face she would lunge at me. My elderly father once stayed at our house while I was working. He took a nap with Misha on top of him and left with a bite mark on his face! She also bit one of my friends on the wrist, although the joke was on Misha because she bit into her bracelet. We still laugh about it to this day.
We still loved her, but boy could she get mean! We had a Russian Blue male who was a love bug and slept in the middle of the room on his back. We still miss Milo. Cat temperaments are as different as "people" temperaments.

Aw I love cats. They don't give a warning, they just go psycho and expect you to understand. "What? I didn't want to be grabbed. Geez. I hissed, isn't that enough?"

And how about when you're petting them, and they like it, like it, like it, and then they don't, and you might get a hand full of claws? Ever happened to you?

Yes. Many times. They can't just run away, they have to make an impression first.

Pinky the cat is legendary as far as psycho cats go. He can still be seen on YouTube since 1990.
