Let the cat make the first move
It's hard to resist the temptation to pet a cat. This little furball seems to make you want to reach out and start scratching its fur. However, scientists say that it is best to let the cat take the initiative first.
Research shows that when you are focusing on some other activity (for example, reading a book or playing on the computer), the cat fundamentally wants to attract your attention. She is wondering what you are doing there and why you are not paying attention to her. In this, cats are very similar to girls: if you pay too much attention, they often become uninterested in you. But if you ignore them occasionally, your contact will be more productive.

- Loves the company of women. Just relax, be natural.
Say "hello" like a cat
You've probably seen how cats greet each other. No, they don’t sniff their partners’ bottoms. A cat's friendly attitude can be recognized when it touches the other cat's nose with its nose. Why don't you try it too? Just don’t need to get on all fours and nuzzle your fluffy one now. It will be enough to raise your finger. Simply reach in and extend your index finger. The kitty will certainly come closer to you to smell it. As soon as she wipes her muzzle on her finger, you can consider the greeting complete.
Such a ritual will not only bring you closer to your cat, but will also add a few points of respect from her.
Talk to your cat in a quiet, calm voice
Under no circumstances should you shout at a cat, even if it has done something mischievous. While the cat is getting used to its owner, it is important to make the communication process as non-traumatic as possible. If you frighten an animal, it may withdraw and not make contact for a long time. It is important to show your pet that he is welcome here and that there is no danger from humans. You should talk to your cat in a quiet, calm voice, then she will begin to trust you much faster.
Your pet will definitely repay you with gratitude for all your efforts; the main thing is not to force things and act carefully. Cats are smart animals that can analyze their surroundings. Seeing that no one is offending her, there is plenty of food, and her new possessions are completely safe, the purr will gradually relax and learn to trust you.

Pet your cat only where she allows it.
For cats, where you pet her is a very important factor. If you constantly want to stroke her belly, but she doesn’t give it, it definitely won’t add love to you. If your pet wants this, he will lie down on his stomach.
Start with a light massage of the cheeks and neck. If the cat likes it, it will begin to purr, squint and lightly move its paws. If you pet in an inappropriate place, the cat will begin to wag its tail and become a little tense.
Remember: each animal's g-points are different. But if you find them in your cat, long and sincere love is guaranteed.

Give a sedative
Changing a place of residence is a big stress for an animal. Introducing a cat to a new owner and home can be painful, especially if the pet was adopted from the street or from a shelter. Negative past experiences force animals to avoid communication with humans, and manifestations of aggression are not excluded. The cat needs time to get used to you. A sedative will help make the adaptation period less traumatic.
There is no need to be afraid to give your cat medicine. The correct dose of a correctly selected drug will suppress fear, normalize blood pressure and relax the animal. There are medicines of plant and animal origin with a mild effect. It is recommended to consult a veterinarian before use. He will determine how justified the use of sedatives is in each specific case, and will recommend the remedy and dosage.
If your cat doesn't want to interact with you, just walk away.
There are several gestures that will allow you to understand that your cat is unhappy. For example, hissing and a desire to scratch you are the most specific hint. Twitching the tail and raising the ears are more subtle movements, but they also indicate that the cat is not in the mood for contact.
Think about it: will someone love you more if you force them to communicate against their will? Take your cat's social conditions for granted, and soon she will begin to trust and love you much more.
Licking
In cats, licking means caring. If you start licking your cat (yes, some people do!), she will most likely interpret this sign of affection as kindness. But keep in mind that dominant cats, on the contrary, do not like this, because... among cats, it is accepted that licking is caring for a weaker member of the family by a stronger one. One owner even invented a special device to imitate licking without the help of his own tongue, because you don’t really want to eat bacteria and fur.

Don't give your cat too much food
Don't think that the more and more often you feed your cat, the more she will love you. Cats are amazing animals. But still, they are animals. And all the goodies that you put in the bowl will be eaten by your pussy. Through force, to the detriment of the body, but eaten. As the French say: “To be full is to be a little hungry.” Do not overfeed your cat so that she does not immediately go to sleep in her secluded corner.
In addition to quantity, think about the quality of food. Healthy food is the key to a long life and strong friendship for your cat. Cheap food, stuffed with chemicals, can sooner or later cause diabetes, sore joints, or even banal “matts” in a cat. Obese cats groom themselves less frequently and less efficiently.
Cat Kiss: Are you really kissed by your cats and pussies?
Cat Kiss: Are you really kissed by your cats and pussies? Independence is a sign of a true cat breed, as is commonly believed. However, with all the craving for freedom and equanimity, domestic pussies often express affection to their, sometimes extremely loving, owners. Does the cat lick your cheeks, nudge them with its nose, and therefore kiss you? It's a delusion. Human caresses are not always similar to the tenderness of pets. The cat family has its own views on showing love. photopin.com
People come up with names for their kisses and attach special meaning to the touch of their lips - affectionate, friendly, romantic. When we see that cats, meeting in a common area, sniff each other nose to nose and lick their faces, we think that they are kissing. And if a cat acts this way towards us, it seems that she is also kissing a person. In fact, there are many reasons for this behavior in cats. Cats have special glands on their faces that help them mark their territory. By rubbing together, cats spread their own scent within the cat family and divide society into friends and foes. The same thing happens when communicating with a person. If a cat rubs its nose, muzzle, and teeth against your face, it means that it is marking you as “one of its own,” and you are allowed to be on its territory.
If the cat started licking its owner, then perhaps it just seemed to her that you were tasty, because on your face she smelled traces of lunch or dinner in the form of aromas and small crumbs. In addition, cats are curious animals. And if they smell a new perfume or an unfamiliar smell that interests them, they will certainly come to rub it.
Sometimes cats may lick out of affection if they think you're not grooming yourself carefully enough. Usually this behavior is typical for them within a cat pair or family. Animals can lick each other and butt heads, and mother cats lick kittens to eliminate excess odor and protect children from enemies. All these actions can be considered a sign of love and friendship, but not directly a kiss. And if you watch your pet longer, you will see that both kittens and adults love to taste different objects - from textiles to wood and rubber. And at these moments no one will think that cats are kissing furniture.
Games are as important as food
Loss of interest not only in you, but also in everything around you is a consequence of the fact that the cat is bored from idleness and rarely moves. Of course, she will try to have fun on her own, but sooner or later she will get bored with it.

Remember that cats are, first and foremost, predators who need to release their accumulated energy somewhere. Dogs, for example, are walked twice every day. What should cats do? Perhaps because of their passive lifestyle, fluffies often choose active games rather than extraordinary feeding.
Buy a rubber ball, ball or laser. If you have forgotten the last time you entertained your cat, play briefly but often for the first 2-3 weeks. A cat that has lost its tone will lie down on the floor in a few minutes and will only carefully watch as you throw the ball and go after it yourself. Once you have practiced a little, you can increase the duration of the sessions. You will soon notice how your cat will be perceived not only as a feeding hand, but also as a loyal friend with whom you can play happily.
Act indifferent
Cats always seem to approach the only person in the room who isn't eager to pet them. According to McNamee, this is quite logical. The usual behavior of cat lovers - all sorts of lisping and attempts to pick up the animal - gives the opposite result.
You want your cat to perceive you as an ally and not as a threat. Here are some tips for this:
- Don't look the cat in the eye. And don’t approach her as soon as you’re in the house. Wait until she approaches you, and at this time look at the floor.
- Don't tower over the cat. Drop your shoulders and place your hands on your knees or sit on the floor. Let the cat's owner sit next to you - this way she will understand that you are not an enemy.
- Do not make noise. Speak quietly. Keep noisy children or dogs away.
- Don't extend your hand abruptly. Once your cat has become accustomed to your presence, gently offer your finger to her for her to sniff. Just don’t poke it at the animal or expose it with an open palm. Galaxy advises extending your hand, lowering your hand down and slightly sticking your index finger forward - so its tip will look like a cat's nose. The pet will touch him with his muzzle to “get to know him.”
- Take your time. Wait until the cat begins to feel confident with you. She will walk across the middle of the room or rub against you. “Don't pet your cat's sides or pat the top of its head,” says McNamee. “Stroke the cheeks or behind the ear - in these places there are glands that the mother cat touches when licking the kittens.” When a cat rubs against your legs, it does not mean that she allows you to pet her. Doing this too early can cause you to lose trust. However, don't give up. Even if the cat has run away from you for now, you can still win the next round.
Give your cat some fresh air
Have you noticed how cats begin to move their nose when you open the windows for ventilation? The fact is that no matter what kind of pet they are, the smell of the street will always attract them.
Try picking up a cat and gently standing with it on the balcony. Just be careful: any pigeon or sparrow flying past can make your pet rush after it. If you have bars on your windows, great. You can simply open the windows and sit the cat on the windowsill.
Believe me, your pet will thank you very much for such a gesture of goodwill.
Treat your cat like a wild animal
“People have been breeding dogs for more than 100 thousand years, but cats have only been with us for about five thousand years. And until the last couple of centuries, they lived in barns, not in our homes, explains Thomas McNamee, author of The Inside World of Cats. — Different breeds are not very different from each other and from their wild ancestors. You could take home a prairie cat kitten, and it would grow up to be a pretty decent pet.”
“We usually consider cats to be pets just like dogs. But cats have a sense of self-worth, just like humans. You have to get to know them slowly and remember that they are still programmed to act as independent hunters,” says Jackson Galaxy, host of the TV program “My Cat From Hell.”
Cats smell other animals on you. So try not to smell.
Cats are very dangerous. In addition, they are accustomed to defending their territory, so try not to block the exits from the room. You can also spray your shoes with pheromone spray, they will calm the animal.
Relationship between cats and your guests
In fact, it is impossible to guess how a cat will behave, which, in addition to you, also communicates with your friends. Some kittens who were cuddled with other people as children are more socialized as adults. They are not afraid of new people, often not paying attention to you when there are guests in the house.
On the other hand, isolating a kitten from strangers can develop a variety of fears in adulthood, forcing the animal to hide during the visit of uninvited guests. But these same nightmares will force her to treat you even more carefully when the possible danger is over. So think about what you want: to raise a brave or loving cat.
Get your cat in a good mood
If your cat reacts aggressively to guests, a ritual of giving him a special treat will help make him friendlier. Guests will be associated with the festive Santa who brings tasty treats.
“I’m not a fan of giving out treats just for the sake of it,” Galaxy says. - Food is an all-effective remedy. I suggest you reserve one tasty “jackpot” for guests only.” In his book, he even recommends that guests ignore the cat on their first visit and wait until subsequent visits to establish trust.
Much of a cat's behavior is established during childhood. Different scientists have different views on the process of raising kittens. Some of them believe that behavior patterns emerge already in the second week of life, while others claim that there are as many as seven weeks for education. It is believed that kittens can be taken from their mother at the age of 7 weeks, and cat writer McNamee assures that they should be with their mother for at least 12-16 weeks. At this time, future owners can come to play with the kitten, and a long stay with the mother will reduce the natural level of anxiety and hostility to the world.

Keep a close eye on your cat
Once the most famous cat lover in the country, Yuri Kuklachev, was asked: “How do you manage to earn such love and respect from cats?” To this Yuri replied: “I just watch them very often.” These words do not mean that you need to constantly look at your pet and peek around the corner when he eats. No, you just need to understand what they like and what turns them off. Many cat movements are potential clues for you.
Just like a person, a cat also takes some getting used to. If you can synchronize with your cat, then without realizing it, you will earn her boundless love and trust.
Don't let children touch your pet
If there are children in the house, they are likely to complicate the cat's adaptation to the new home. At first, the pet is already in constant tension due to the unfamiliar environment. It is important for him to have personal space and a place where he can retire. The children do not understand this and chase the pet throughout the apartment. For babies, the most obvious manifestation of love is affection and games. Sometimes the cat is hugged too tightly, sometimes it is dragged by the tail, considering it fun. Children unwittingly cause pain and discomfort to the animal, so it is better to prohibit them from touching the pet. At first, any negative experience will be extremely painful. Gradually, when the pet begins to get used to the apartment and household, you can allow children to carefully touch the cat under the supervision of their parents.
Each cat is individual
You should not think that if you take home a British dog, then you need to treat him meticulously and painstakingly, and a simple mongrel needs to be given more space and time on the street. Each cat is individual and what one likes will irritate another. There is no need to lump everyone with the same brush.
Advice: before choosing a cat, think about why you are getting it. If you just want it to be, then take a calm animal. If for active games, take an energetic one.
