it also depends on the human, some people just don't know how to interact with cats.
like bro you gotta make friends with them first, how tf would you feel if a guy just walked up to you and started reaching under your shirt?

The good old "crouch down, extend your hand, slow blink at the cat and periodically pointedly look away" generally works great.
