Friendly Cats, Good Company CatYou will be able to get closer to your shy and nervous cat by feeding it and gently petting it while it eats. As time goes by, the cat will learn to associate human contact with feeding times and this will be an enjoyable experience for the cat. Make sure to feed your cat good quality food that it likes and serve its food above floor level so that the cat does not feel vulnerable. Pet the cat from its head down to its tail, firmly and softly at the same time. Do this only two or three times during its meal and let the cat jump down from its feeding place as much as it wants to rest. Friendly because you make it: If you are a cat owner, you have probably noticed that whenever a friend who dislikes cats comes over; he or she gets lots of attention from your cat. Why in the world does this happen? When humans do not like something we tend to look the other way and we roll our eyes (which makes them look round), and cats interpret this as a friendly gesture! Friendly cats: Unlike dogs, cats are not very sociable animals. In their natural habitat, they don't live together nor do they consider each other members of the same family. However, when two cats live in the same house, its very likely that they will create a bond and become friends, especially if they came from the same colony and are used to each other from the day they were born. Cats that are friends spend a lot of time together rubbing each other, licking each other to keep clean, and sleeping very closely together, and all this makes their makes them smell the same. |
