Realized I was petting my cat totally wrong for 4 years until my sister visited

My cat Mochi would always twitch her tail and walk away after I pet her. I thought she just had a short attention span. Then my sister came over last month and started scratching right under Mochi's chin and behind her ears. Mochi started purring so loud I heard it from across the room. Turns out I was basically giving her aggressive back rubs like she was a dog. She was putting up with me the whole time. Has anyone else had that moment where you figure out your cat hated your petting style for years?

Found out my cat was just tolerating my ear scritches for 5 years because I was rubbing against the grain. Now I do it the right way and she still walks off, so honestly I think she just hates me.
