    So you're telling me that in order to impress a cat, I need to:
    1. Spray on perfume
    2. Play hard to get
    3. Hold out my hand strategically
    4. Demonstrate physical intimacy
    5. But also respect their physical boundaries
    6. Seduce them with my eyes
    7. Be fun and playful
    8. Pay for their dinner
    Why do these sound so familiar?

If you can win the trust of a feral cat I think nothing is impossible for you in this life.

      Lol. True to an extent but my favorite cat memory was when I noticed an abandoned kitten around my house that hissed and ran from me no matter how carefully I wooed him with food and treats. I kept my eye out for him and he finally got so weak I was able to scoop him up because he could no longer run away. I nursed him back to health. He kept snarling and hissing at me during that time even though he let me feed, pet and wash him up. It took a long time for him to learn to purr. He would eventually go through a phase where he hissed at me while cuddling me before he finally.learned to actually purr. 😂
      We became mama and child kitty. He slept with me and stayed glued to me for years. His name was Timothy. So you CAN get a kitty to come around with patience and love.

    But recently my family decided to get a kitten. And she is so beautiful. I understand they're different from dogs in the way you approach them. Cats are extremely affectionate witg people they trust. The purring is so beautiful.

    I have the opposite problem. Cats love me too much, they actually manipulate me and thus I have adopted a lot of stray cats. I am their slave now. I work for feeding them.

    Man I remember my old cat named Lucy, she was more of a wild animal at first but she slowly just started to trust us cause her mother started hissing at her (obviously Lucy still wanted to keep close to her but it didn't work). We couldn't approach her within a meter or two, heck we couldn't even breathe in her way cause she'd ran away.
    But one day, a month or 2 after she started visiting us with her mother and a few weeks after her mother started to drift away from her... I came back home, I sat outside on the balcony, she jumped on the balcony and then she just curled up on my lap.
    I don't know why did she do that cause the previous day she was the same but I didn't think much of it, I was so damn excited.
    Ever since then she was really cuddly but only with us she didn't approach or accept anyone new, would take them a few visits to gain her trust.
    We always let her in the house at night cause the other cats would've attacked her and even due to my father not accepting that at first he eventually warmed up to her.
    Unfortunately she died very young, was a bit over 1 year old, I'll never forget her and how she accepted us. Sorry for the long ass comment just got reminded of her due to the topic.

    Everything makes sense with cats once you realize that their brains are *biologically wired differently* from that of dogs.
    Dogs were descended from wolves which are pack hunters. Therefore, it is within their best interest to follow a pack leader (ie. you). Wolves are also at the top of the food chain within their ecosystem, so dogs are inherently less fearful of new faces. Dogs were also bred for thousands of years to be companions for humans.
    Most cats are descended from the African Wild Cat (some more recent breeds also have traces of Serval, Caracal or Asian Leopard Cat). All of these species are considered lesser cats. They are strict solitary hunters. Unlike the big cats, lesser cats are still small and vulnerable in comparison to other predators within their ecosystem, and therefore can also be prey. As such, any creature that is larger and foreign to them can be seen as a potential threat. Cats have lived alongside humans for thousands of years because it proved beneficial to have them around as rodent control, but humans have only _just_ recently started viewing cats as strict companion animals. It wasn't until the 1940's-1950's that it became commonplace to have indoor-only cats.
    Makes sense then why cats take longer to relinquish their trust toward new people in their lives than dogs do, but that's okay! It just makes it all the more rewarding once they finally do!
    Cats _are_ becoming more sociable to one another though, including feral cats! They're starting to form social circles with one another, known as clowders or colonies.They're not nearly as organized or ranked as dog packs are, but females will often look after another's kittens, and they stick together for security and companionship. Some cats even have best friends!

      most of it really comes down to reading body language and respecting it, yeah.
      Also those two petting zones are bullshit, what you instead want to go for is long strokes starting from the head, under the ears, over the whole body down to the tail and, here's the kicker, only do it that way around. ALWAYS stroke in fur direction, NEVER against it like you would a dog. Reason being, cats spend a lot of time getting their fur clean and nice like that so don't ruin it.
      You can tell he's an amateur by where the cat sat and how it still bit him at the end. I'd be sitting there cross legged to make the kind of confined space boxes naturally make, cats will jump in if they want affection and this goes on for multiple hours.
      Another thing I noticed is that cats want to hang out with you more if you come regularily but arent their owner. they know to use chances.

      Dog affection is almost unconditional - sadly, even a mistreated dog won't withdraw its affection for its abusive owner.
      Cat love is highly conditional: they give us affection as a reward, and they withdraw it as punishment.
      They *train* us - there was a paper in "Current Biology" in 2009 about why cats make that "purr-cry" (like a purr with a miaow embedded in it): it's *specifically* manipulative. (The same's true for the 'trill' noise).

      ​@Private C I think you need to do it gradually and consistently. Like when you're about to go out the door, make eye contact and say "I'll be back". After a few seconds, come back. Repeat the process, gradually adding seconds, then minutes, and hours. And greet them when you enter, "I'm back". They'll learn that you're not abandoning them & you'll eventually come back, and they'll be the first to know when you're back (even if they just glance at you then proceed to ignoring you). I'm not sure if it will work though.
      I don't actually have a cat but if I do (or any other pet), I'll incorporate this into a routine 😊

    Cosmos fur patterns are really similar to my cat that disappeared last month. She was so friendly, and really liked hugs and blankets for some reason and was so squishy. My biggest regret was leaving her outside in the rain that night, when I thought she had a way in even though we had actually closed the garage entrance. I miss her.

    Try this gesture:
    - Squat down.
    - Relax your arms and extend them in front of you. Don't be too nervous.
    - Hold up your palms near the ground.
    - Smile. Don't stare, slow blink.
    - Let the cat come to you.
    Basically this is probably the most non threatening and friendly way to interact with a cat. It has usually worked for me.

    I devoted as much time as I could interacting with my cat when she was a kitten. She showed endless amounts of affection towards myself & adored playing.
    1 year on & it’s the complete opposite. Tilly is always arms length away, only when she wants food will she show me affection by head butting me, rubbing herself against my arm & lastly be very comfortable/relaxed in my company.
    Im still rewarded by her laying at the end of my bed at night.
    The only change I made was introducing a kitten aged 3 months old. Tilly was 8 months old at the time, they both love pouncing on each other & nose touching. Occasionally they sleep very close together.
    I can’t understand where it all went wrong! How have I now ended up with a timid cat indoors yet outside she will happily interact with me.

    My wife calls me Dr. Doolittle because I've never met a living creature I couldn't make friends with, including aggressive dogs, bite-happy horses from hell, and cats who "hate everybody". I'm the sort who saves a terrified bat from a screaming girl, or rescues a wasp drowning in his beer - and I swear that animals just seem to know that's the person I am.
    Cats who hate new people yet fall asleep on my lap the first day I meet them... massive sense of accomplishment! Snake-charmer, eat your heart out.
    The slow-blink-and-look-at-something-else manoeuvre is cat-whispering gold.

      I'm much the same way. I'll capture and let a fly out rather than kill it. (Although I'd mostly just not care). If I meet a dog owner outside I usually present the dog with friendly smile and calm nod, I don't care who's walking them. I think animals can definitely somehow judge people fairly with few clues.

      @@bluediner967 I had to have her put down exactly 2 months ago. She got acutely ill and had to be put down. Or, it was rather acute because she finally showed symptoms of not being well.
      Turned out her bone marrow had completely shut down and stopped producing both white and red blood cells. She had also appearently developed an autoimmune disorder that attacked her remsining red blood cells. Her blood values were so bad that she had no immune system left, and her red blood cell count was so low that the vet said she'd be uncobcious if it had been acute (like a blood loss).
      There was nothing I could do to make her better, and because she was in so much discomfort and pain, I decided to let her go. So I sat with her and stroked her body as the vet gave her the final injection (after first administering her painkillers). She was 15-16 years old, and I was fortunate enough to have her for almost 12 years (since right before I turned 10). She was incredibly loyal and the best cat I could've asked for.

      Indeed, it's less a chain of command with a superior and subordinate (as with dogs), more so a partnership; you need to give trust to earn it, and put yourself in their shoes. They're so much smaller, and can't communicate with words, which makes a person feel incredibly powerless; you may be able to relate if you've ever been bullied by someone larger, or been abroad to visit a place where you don't speak the native language.

    I've been taking care of my roomates cat while they're away for a couple months, and we've bonded a lot, but he always seemed bored, even before my roomate left. Well he hates when I leave so today I decided to take him with me in the car on a 25ish minute drive through errand. He was scared at first and I was about to abort but he climbed into my lap and started looking out the window and totally calmed down. I think it was intense for him but ultimately I think he loved it! He was totally chill by the time we were on our way back, and since then he definitely doesn't seem bored and our bond has pretty clearly gotten stronger! Just a tip!

    The Slow Blink has gained me many, many new feline friends. That, and making an effort not to encroach upon a new-to-me cat's space. I let them come to me. My favorite was a Maine Coon hybrid I met one evening while delivering his humans their pizza dinner. I traded slow-blinks with the big guy, and he immediately started purring up a storm, and.. walked along the porch railing, and proceeded to use my pizza bag as a nesting place, much to my and his humans' delight and amusement. My only regret was that I had to coax him off the bag so that I could return to the store.

    I find a lot with Online Streamers that have Cats, the Cat tends to often jumpup into their owners lap or in their presence during a Stream, wanting attention. The human is so busy that this is a good example that ignoring your cat works. Streamers do this unintentionally but it's a common pattern I've notice.

    I have to say.. I love when cats have their unique and sometimes not so for humans as easy seen attitudes..
    (English is not my native language)
    Because I love to let them be and still see how they interact with me in their best way possible and me interacting with them but still respecting their need for alonetime or whatever they need as a cat haha
    I have learned the more you let them just be.. The more they feel comfortable with your quirks as a human
    But I wrote this in a very general way
    It can mean a lot.. I know a cat that you can hold like a baby for an hour and is very calm and friendly.. Because it's just happy to go outside the whole day and having fresh food when it comes home
    Then I know cats that need lots of alone time and don't like being so much touched but always are there for you when you cry and ready for a cuddle
    And the cat of my aunts house hates being lifted up and carried around.. But she let's my cousin do so..and my cousin always opens the door when she comes at night home.. At any time.. While the other don't let her out anymore or don't open the door till the morning

      Depends on how the human reacts. If the human acts aggressively, kitty won't go near them. If the human allows kitty to walk all over them, then that's what kitty expects.
      The cat will then trust that a belly - up human is accepting of attention: splaying on their human, head - bonking, making biscuits, snuggling up to one body region or another to take a nap.
      When a cat goes belly - up, it means they can trust that you won't hurt them. That you will respect their sensitive places. And that the don't have to be on alert. They can relax.

      That's a tough nut to crack, and just for the record a cat doesn't have to be abused to be mistrustful. In fact not all cats dislike every new person they meet either. I know somebody with two cats and one of them mistrust every single person and animal she meets, even as a kitten newly brought home she hid under the bed for two days and it took weeks for the cat to trust her new owners. The other one was friendly and sweet right out of the gate and was to me when I met her as well. She even accepted my dog with nonchalance. Funny thing is those two cats are sisters that have had pretty much the same care love and attention ever since they came to their forever home at about 8 weeks of age.
