How to make a cat like you: 3 useful tips
Establishing trust and respect with feline friends is essential for developing a strong and lasting bond. SSPDaily has revealed a few life hacks that will help you please the cat.
Establish trust
Allow the cat to approach you on its own terms, and do not force it to interact. Spending time with your pet without direct interaction, such as quietly reading or working on a laptop, will help create a sense of comfort. Offering your cat treats or toys that they like will create positive associations with your presence.
Respect personal space
Avoid picking up the cat or forcefully petting it, as these actions can be perceived as aggressive. Allow the cat to approach at its own pace and offer your hand to sniff before petting, which helps establish boundaries. Additionally, to respect your cat's personal space, provide a designated area, such as a bed or cozy spot, where they can retreat when they need to be alone.
Play and bonding
Engage your cat in active play with toys that simulate prey, such as feather sticks or laser pointers, to awaken their natural hunting instincts. Gentle movement games, like playfully mimicking the movements of prey with your hand, can also strengthen the bond between you and your cat. Offering rewards, such as treats or praise, reinforces positive interaction and strengthens the bond further.
