Cats are amazing pets. They are soft, cuddly, and sweet. When you have a cat, or any pet really, you want it to love you, of course. Cats, though, are hard to please, and they want you to know it! But with a whole lot of patience, discipline, and love, you can turn a moody, grumpy kitty into your best friend fur-ever!
Cats hate it when their owners are super clingy. If you try and force a cat to be with you, they will run away from you more. You cant make a cat love you. What you can do is come up to it, pet or scratch it, and leave it alone if it walks away. When a cat walks away, that means it has had enough love time. Another thing you should not do to a cat is pick it up when it doesn’t want to picked up. If you do, the kitty will associate you with being picked up and avoid you.
Cats also really like being clean. They don’t really like to use a dirty litter box, or eat in a place with food everywhere. If you clean up these areas, the cat will be more comfortable and love you– all because you cleaned up!
To cats, body language is super important. Staring at a cat might make them feel threatened. If you want a cat to like you, you need to leave it alone, it will get to you in your own time.
Cats can be irresistibly adorable. But as much as you may want to greet Snowball with a big ol’ hug, don’t. This is a common mistake for people who love cats. They’ll go up to the cat and corner the cat, try to pet the cat, and try to win over the cat. In this situation, she explains, your advances will either be ignored or cause the cat to bolt.Instead of making a beeline for the cat, encourage the feline to come towards you, says . Crouch down or sit, and then extend your index finger towards the cat. The next thing to do is to let the cat sniff you. Either lay your hand on the floor, outstretched so that she doesn’t have to come too close. From there, you can begin to pet or scratch the cat’s head – but take it slow. Make friends at the pace of the cat. If she walks away, let her go. The key is to let the cat set the tone of the interaction, and to give her space to relax.
Give affection to your cat. That is, when your kitty wants it. You’ll know when your cat is in the mood to cuddle. She might curl up on your lap, rub against you, or butt her head up against your hand. Awww! When a cat wants to cuddle, be still and calm. Gently rub her head, pet her, or scratch her. She will appreciate these small things you do.
Learn to read them. Part of not forcing anything on them is learning to read them. If you observe her carefully, your cat will most likely tell you when she’s hungry, when she wants to play, and when she wants to be left alone. Just like any friendship, learning to read your cat’s behavior is an important part of bonding with your cat.
