Oh melbsy. Don't beat yourself up about it. Cats evolved to hide their pain and injuries as best as they can. It's one of their basic instincts. Cats also have off days just like humans, and some days they just don't want to be held even when they're perfectly fine. You did the best you could given the situation, and that's all you can be expected to do
