There is a variant that the cat is spoiled, in childhood it was allowed to bite the hand of a human and in principle it can continue to perceive the hands as an object for games (already adults), but even in this case your description does not fit. The hair on his face, dilated pupils, screaming – this is not a game even for an adult cat. It's a very intense fear, perhaps a very intense pain, or perhaps a memory of some serious trauma or stress experienced.
Why does it start meowing when you pick up a cat?
It probably does not like being picked up. You can try to correct this. Don't yank the cat in your arms, put it straight down on the floor after holding it in your arms, rather than sending it flying from your height. When you take the cat in your arms, offer him something interesting, let him look out the window from your hands, for example. And don't overdo it, as soon as the animal wants to go down – let it go and be sure to praise it. One of my cats tolerates sitting in the arms of the adult household only because of the scratching that follows, which he loves very much.
Take a man in your arms and he starts mewing, and cats can't mewl, they can only meow. 
Because he has vocal cords which he uses to make sound. Take it to the repair shop if you think that the sound is not working or is made at the first touch, when this function is blocked
Well, as a rule, they really don't like it for some reason. I had both Max and Savka always started jamming. But Muska okay – and clucking started, and put his belly, girl. But the boys do not, they did not like these feline tenderness.
It depends on each individual cat. They're like people – they each have their own character and their own comfort zone.
When you take the cat in your arms, meows. Why?
She may not like it very much, many cats come and rub themselves near your feet when they feel like it, and any touching without their desire will cause discomfort, there is only meow.
Not all cats are "tame." A cat is comfortable feeling supported under their feet. Better yet, under all four of them. Otherwise, it becomes nervous and meows, trying to escape.
The second point – the cat is sick. She has a pain in her back or joints. If it used to let you hold it in your hands, and for some time it suddenly became restless, it is better to examine it by a specialist.
Do not take the cat into your hands: you will disturb its own "aura", because it will have to be scrubbed all over again. When the cat comes up, pettes it and asks to pet it, it will leave its own "marks" on you. You will not feel it – the other cats will, and will know that you are "busy". Learn your cat's behavior and respect her wishes.
I have a British cat. When I take him in my arms, he rips out of my hands and meows. What should I do?
He weighs about six pounds. He's pretty big. We also have a Scottish lop-eared cat. The cat is 2 years old, the cat is 3. She does not care what they do to her, where they take her, that they take her in their arms. The cat, on the other hand, is not like that. They are both affectionate and playful. They live well. We feed them, we feed them, we play with them. We do everything for them. They are happy, you can tell by looking at them. And we adore them terribly! But when we take the cat in our arms, he begins to yell at the whole house … . Meow, meow, meow, meow. It's terrifying. He also hides under his arm. He pees like crazy. . . . I don't know what to do. I had a hunch that he was afraid of heights, but it's crazy that a cat would be afraid of heights, too. . . . Help me, what should I do with him?
Don't take him in your arms.
i had a british cat, taught him doggie commands – sit, lie down, place )))) and the fetch)) )
he ate a bun and purred)
but they are cheeky. a little over two years – and he is the owner.
He does not obey – it's not a bun)))
Afraid, big cat, uncomfortable in his arms, scared – this is generally normal for the British. Sit him on the couch, put him next to you and cuddle him all you like)) I'm sure he'll like it on a firm footing and not in your arms.)
The Britannian is a proud cat. You see, he doesn't want to depend on anyone. Petting, yes, we love that. Well, but the petting is unnecessary.
It's not the breed, it's the personality. My dog also does not like to be taken in the arms, immediately breaks away. However, very affectionate, playful. Before he was a redhead, who even slept on my shoulder. So, this is a personal preference for a cat, do not like him in the arms – do not take. You can pet him anyway, you don't have to carry him in your arms.
Why does the cat from nowhere dig into my hand hard from time to time screaming?
Both the first pet cat and the second, periodically as something comes over her – her eyes turn black (dilated pupils), fur rises up and rushes into the hand and claws and teeth and sometimes screams while doing it. She grips her teeth and claws very hard, making it harder and as if she couldn't stop, she has to throw it away. Then she frantically stares at me, but if I do not get closer to her, she does not approach me, but looks as if she is still angry and wants to claw again.
Sometimes when you stroke her she purrs that she likes it and later gets mad and also starts to bite and starts to scream or when you put her on the surface after you stroke her. And also burrows to bite, I have to move away immediately and remove his hands.
Why a cat all of a sudden starts to lunge at a person
It is a widespread phenomenon, it can be found with almost any cat to some extent. I have two neutered cats (former and present) that have practically the same thing. And this despite the fact that we have complete harmony, mutual understanding and the most ardent love with them.
It's just that cats, like all predators, are capable of showing aggression from time to time. I pet a cat, everything is normal, we lie on the bed, suddenly, all of a sudden, out of the blue, he bites into my hand or shoulder, and it hurts terribly. You start scolding him, and then he howls and wants to bite me even more.
I read that cats have particularly sensitive individual hairs in their fur. At first, when you pet or touch them, they feel good, and then at some point it begins to irritate them, so they rush to the source of irritation.
To avoid this, you need to keep a close eye on the cat when it is around or you are petting it. As soon as she begins to show the slightest signs of irritation, impatience, immediately stop contact with her. You also need to let her know that you disapprove of her behavior in order to discourage her from throwing and biting.
