How to Properly Greet a Cat

How to Properly Greet a Cat
 
In this lesson, we will guide you on the proper etiquette to greet a cat. This is an introduction not to take lightly. Or perform absentmindedly. Cats are cautious and wary, so the first time you meet a cat can and does make a lasting impression on that cat’s view of you.
Cats Are Curious - Follow These Steps and the Cat Might Approach You
  • Enter the room slowly and quietly.
  • Use a quiet voice and softly greet.
  • Avoid looking at the cat and ignore.
  • Sit on a sofa, the floor, or chair.
  • Avoid making big gestures.
  • Remember to breathe slowly and deeply.
Cats use their sense of small to decide if a person is friendly or not. When you do see a cat for the first time, let them make the first move. Soft eye blinking is a kitten "hello."
Remember - Stay relaxed. You might not meet the cat on the first visit. It takes several visits for cats to build trust.
