They live in a world of smells, and their communication mainly relies on the scent sniffing perception left by themselves or other cats. We bipeds are visual animals, and communication mainly relies on visual and verbal communication.
Therefore, we must make ourselves “smell” friendly, not just look friendly, for example, if you have just come out of the pet hospital with the smell of many animals in fright, then you can’t get close to the masters at this time.
▼ Cats are in the middle of the food chain
They are both predators and predators, so cats are usually highly alert to unfamiliar things, which also means that when you first come into contact with a strange cat, it is important to pay attention to the safe distance of the cat.
Once the two-legged beast crosses the boundary and violates the safe distance of the masters, the masters will immediately turn their heads and run away.

●Keep a certain distance from the cat and then squat down slowly, this distance should be greater than or equal to the safe distance of the cat, so that TA will not run away;
●Extend your index finger, point to the cat, the same height as the cat’s nose, just one finger, don’t stretch out the whole palm like a dog, the cat likes the “point” that can be focused rather than the “face”;
●If at this time, the little owner has already raised its tail and slowly walked towards you, then the cat is saying “Hello!” ”；
●So far, the communication between you has been very peaceful and friendly. If the cat sniffs your fingers with the tip of its nose at this time, and gently rubs your fingers with its cheeks, and then arches its waist slightly, then congratulations! This little master has allowed you to touch it!
Advanced familiarity chapter
●After the little owner allows you to touch him, you can playwith the cat with toys such as cat sticks.
At this time, it should be noted that the cat is not a fish, do not use fishing to play with the cat, let the cat experience the pleasure of catching the prey, if the cat grabs the cat stick and takes away the toy, then go with him, don’t snatch it back, the cat will be sad.
