For most people, choosing a cat involves many doubts and preparation difficulties. However, when the time comes to take the animal home, it fills each family member with great joy from its very appearance.
At this stage, the cat’s socialization is just beginning – the moment comes when she decides on her preferences. The pet explores its new home, chooses the best place to sleep and play, and remembers where its tray and bowl of food are located. The choice of the owner is also included in the set of life attributes necessary for the existence of a cat.
How is the owner selected?
Although cats are considered pets that are not affectionate, this is far from true. First of all, these pets try to mark and inhabit their own territory, and the choice of the family member who will most appeal to them is left for later.
However, as time passes, the cat becomes more closely acquainted with each resident of the apartment or house. The choice of the owner in any case happens sooner or later, because this is one of the basic psychological needs.
It is quite difficult to understand how cats choose their owner, but most often it turns out to be completely different from the person who feeds, cleans the litter box and takes care of it. Preference is given to people who show the greatest emotional involvement in the pet’s life. This category includes games, activities, conversations with your pet and other moments of joint activity. Psychological comfort plays a vital role in establishing the pet-owner bond.

Meows to a specific family member
Cats do not meow when communicating with each other. The exception is the relationship between cats and kittens. To establish contact with people and express emotions, these animals chose the sound “meow” and hundreds of its intonation shades.
Cats can be both silent and sociable, depending on their character. A “talkative” cat will not once a day complain to a dear family member with a sad “mau” and swear with a dissatisfied “marf”. Cats are very good at reading human intonations. So the owner and pet who love each other have emotional, meaningful “dialogues.”
How to determine who is the owner of a cat?
There are several criteria that help to identify the person whom the pet has chosen:
- cats spend more time next to their owners. She feels comfortable and calm next to him, she feels confident and protected;
- the pet strives for close contact - caresses, rubs against legs, begs for tenderness;
- the cat tries not to let its owner out of sight. She sits down so that she can see him, fixes all movements with her eyes or runs after him with her tail;
- the animal can synchronize sleep rhythms with a loved one. She is awake when her owner wakes up and falls asleep with him;
- Among all the people who want to take her in their arms, the cat will choose its owner. She will purr, wiggle her paws and show her affection in every possible way. Some cats try to climb onto the shoulders or lie on certain parts of the human body;
- if a cat develops the habit of sleeping in a bed, then it will do so on the owner’s side;
- the pet patiently endures all unpleasant procedures, for example, nail trimming, if it is carried out by the owner;
- being a predator by nature, the cat will bring “prey” and trophies to a certain person for whom it feels affection;
- The cat has an excellent memory. If the owner leaves for a long time and then returns, she will accept him favorably and make contact.
The true owner of a cat is not always the only person in the family. Quite often she chooses a couple or an adult and a child with whom she experiences the greatest psychological contact.
Personality matters
Anyone who has multiple cats can tell you that each one is unique. And their preferences may depend on several different factors, from early socialization and breed to normal personality traits. The best human-cat relationships are those in which the person recognizes the uniqueness of the animal and cares for it accordingly.
In other words, you can't always tell why a cat loves one person more than another. The best thing you can do is to take good care of your pet, learn to communicate with him through attention and affection, and watch for signs that he is happy and comfortable. If your cat prefers to spend the most time with you, then you are most likely her favorite person.
How to form an attachment correctly?
The choice of an owner by a cat occurs at the very beginning of acquaintance with the territory. If one person lives in the apartment, then the pet will not have much choice and the connection will be established by itself after a while.
If a family lives within the house, the situation becomes somewhat more complicated. The cat begins to absorb and instinctively analyze the attitude towards itself from the first moment of its appearance. She is initially looking for a person who will perceive her as an independent being worthy of respect.
Very rarely does a cat focus on the physical aspects of everyday life, for example, feeding, petting or changing the contents of the tray. A much more important aspect is being attentive to her needs, helping to satisfy her instincts and recognizing her right to a certain territory.
As a result, there are several rules that should be followed:
- You should not force your love and adoration on your cat. Give her time to get to know and explore her new environment;
- Be attentive to her demands and requests. Since the cat is trying to find its place in the house, it can demand access to any room, often mark corners and doors, play mischief, defining the boundaries of what is permitted. Patience and commanding concern will help at this stage;
- Communicate with your cat and spend as much time as possible with her. Try to play while supporting the hunting instinct. Affections, conversations and cozy gatherings also play a vital role;
- Learn your cat's habits and favorite treats. They will help you establish contact.
Quite often, despite all efforts, cats for some reason choose the wrong people as owners who want to be them. There’s nothing you can do about it, you can only continue to establish contact. After some time, the cat may decide to recognize another person.

Can cats love? Maybe they are just getting used to a new home, where it is warm and comfortable, where they are fed and nurtured?
When finding itself in new conditions and with strangers, it doesn’t matter whether the cat is an adult or a small one, it experiences severe stress and becomes disoriented. The animal will become attached first of all to the one who will feed it, protect it from annoying family members and teach it to live in a new place.
Men are most often chosen as cat owners because they are not fussy and pay attention to the animal when it approaches it. No intrusiveness or emotionality.
With whom the cat feels the most relaxed, she can fall asleep next to him, and will be favorable towards him.
You should not perceive the constant presence of a pet near worship. She simply watches you, feels your superiority, directed to her protection.
