    This dude is approaching her like she’s some sort of alien. That is one patient cat. The fact that she let him try his myriad holding techniques without removing his eyeballs proves she’s a furry angel.

      Don't stalk the cat, they are the hunters. Ignore them so they can sneak up on you. Sneaking up on you is their thing, even if you know that they know that you know they're sneaking.

    The best advice I can give anyone who is meeting a cat for the 1st time is to just go about your business and let the cat do what it's going to do. Once the cat is comfortable with you being around it, it will come to you. No need to seek attention.

    • @batslav

      Yep let the cat sniff you and that's it. They don't like to be bothered much so it has to be their choice to get petting and so on. My cat always hide when we have visitors and it takes time before he comes out. If they are laud he will sniff around but stay alert and hide again if needed.

I was so nervous when I held her, but it’s been unconditional love for 11 years! Lili is my baby and best friend. She’s my love and is so spoiled that anything she wants she gets! Lili has brought her papa and dada closer. We have a beautiful daughter and she brings us so much joy and love we would be lost without her. I pray to God that he gives us many more years with her ❤

    Karen could've sensed his distress as well. I have a bunch of cats and there's one that's the most aloof of the bunch and she doesn't cuddle. One day, I was super sick and when my family went out for dinner, I had to rest at home alone. My cat then got into bed with me, laid herself across my outstretched arm next to my head and started purring and licking my head. I was STUNNED! She's never shown that level of behaviour before even to my sister who's her favourite. It was only until my family came back after a few hours that she hopped off the bed and if I didn't take any pictures, my family wouldn't have believed me 😂 Cats really are sensitive that way and it's nice to see this guy experience that.

Had another big dark gray and white male cat show up (Smudge) and did the same thing. He still shows up about once a month asking for snuggles, then leaves.

    As a cat person I have observed my cats, they can sense if a person is allergic to them. I had a cat who could spot an allergic person hundreds of feet away and target them. This cat would be extremely lovey to them, unlike she would with non allergic people. A person should consider themself blessed to be loved by a cat.

    you don't need allergy meds. just don't put your hands near your eyes after you pat her.

He couldn't even touch a cat with the tip of his finger without getting a rash all up his arm and neck and would have breathing problems. When we started taking care of a stray outside cat, we noticed his allergies getting better and better the more he was exposed. We were kinda shocked. We had no idea. Now my husband can enjoy cats a lot more and actually really likes them now. He used to hate them.

So she was spayed and got her shots and a microchip as part of a trap-neuter-release program for outdoor kitties. But lucky Karen to find a safe forever home with Mackenzie!

    It’s funny what a range of personalities cats can have. Our first cat was totally ambivalent about people. If someone came to pet sit they wouldn’t even know she was there. Our second had to be the center of attention all the time. She had to try every lap and you ignored her at your peril. Our current cat isn’t much of a lap cat but she likes to chill wherever you’re at and she loves meeting new people. She’s also the only ankle-rubber that we’ve had.

    There's ways around most cat allergies. He did well & Karen was patient enough to let him learn how to pet & hold her. My brothers allergies are worse but we learned he's fine if we reduce the fur in the air and he doesn't literally rub his face in their fur (which is cute but not when he suddenly has trouble breathing).
    So we just air out the house once a day, pet the cats slowly so their fur doesn't fly, be careful not to move linens in ways that can fling cat hair or flop on the couch (which is better for the couch anyway). Also, do not vacuum before a visit unless you can air out the house too, because the exhaust port will kick up dust & cat dander. If you have to vacuum while they are present, have them do something outside like phone games or read the paper comics until 20 minutes after vacuuming and airing the house.
    He hasn't had any breathing issues or red eyes since we implemented this on his visits, but we keep antihistamines as a safety precaution.

    Yeah, someone needs to tell him that how you meet a dog (petting right away, picking up and holding, belly rubs) are the exact opposite of a cat. You let them come inspect you, get their scent all over you, and let them come up for you to pet until they decide they like you and become purring cuddle bugs. Both animals are great, just with two different social protocols.

It's a different type of petting than with dogs- stroking head to tail, not ruffling in one area. And only those experts in the cat's particular personality should ever attempt "baby cuddling"! And don't make eye contact without a slow blink! I too, never understood the appeal of cats, until 5years ago (how much of my life I had wasted before) and we were chosen by 2, now I am a full time cat obsessed butler.
