Many cat shovelers will have a headache when they first raise cats, which is how to make their cats accept and trust themselves quickly. After all, not all cats are born with relatives and like to snore and ask for touching when they see people. Most cats are still afraid of being sick when they first arrive home. They will hide in a corner or under the sofa under the bed and need to adapt for a while before they can get along with their loved ones.
During this period, what should the shoveler do to make the cats feel safe and kind, gradually accept and fall in love with you?
1. Give it enough space and freedom
Compared to being close to people, cats prefer to be alone. Many people are very excited when they first raise cats. They finally have cats. They wish they could stare at cats 24 hours a day, wanting to see what it is doing, and wanting to play with it, but this excessive enthusiasm will make cats very burdensome. Meows don’t like humans to stare at them for a long time and look at them. They prefer to stay quietly for a while and find a comfortable place to sleep in.
2. Don't scare it suddenly
Cats hate sudden fright. When frightened, they will find a safe and hidden place to hide, and retain their previous memories, and gradually don't like to get close to those who scare it. So the shoveler should not suddenly appear around the cat and pick it up, or do not suddenly scare it with some toys. In the long run, the cat will become sensitive and timid, let alone trust humans.
3. Play with cats more
and let cats let go of their guards. The most effective way to accept cats is to interact with them more. Take a short time every day to play the games they like for a while. During the play, cats can gradually let go of their guards and get close to cats. Therefore, cats, like children, also need patience to accompany them.
4. Touch them gently
Pet cats usually enjoy the caress of the shovelers. When you gently stroke their heads, chins and backs, the cats will purr with satisfaction. Pay attention to the gentle movements and light force when touching. You can try to touch different parts of the cat to see where it prefers to be touched.
Cat people are like children, who need to be treated patiently and gentlely, both freedom and companionship, and only sincere love can gain their trust.
