Step one: have great respect toward cats. They literally sense that somehow. Those, who respect cats, will get the same treatment from them. Damn, that's the highest number of likes I've ever got for a comment. Thank you guys!
Oh no this is absolutely true. I’ve had cats I’ve never met before at the shelter where I used to volunteer reach through cages to bat at my hands if they were kittens or hang out by my feet or sit on my lap as adults. I even had one lick me like a dog. Of course there were skittish cats too, but you can’t win em all.
@@TheAlchemist1089 this is wrong for any animal that isn't a Homosapien, Primate, Cephalopod, or a Dolphin. They can't sense a fucking thing, and neither can you.
This is so true and helpful if you want to befriend a cat. My cat (female) also taught me the "eye" communication, and those teachings helped me to befriend my brother's cat (male) who was really shy and was always running away from me whenever he sees me.
I have always instinctively approached cats like this, I love cats, just being chill with them. If they want to be petted that's cool, if they don't that's also cool
You can also meow back at then to make them more comfortable with you. I had to do this recently when a neighbor's cat got out and wouldn't go back inside. She was a sweetheart, very soft and snuggly!
I recommend touching something metal or wetting your finger first to make sure you don’t accidentally shock the kitty. This has happened to me and I felt so bad. It took a while to reestablish trust.
Didnt know this either but I noticed cats like it when you let them greet you by letting them come close to your face. Combined with the knowledge of "slow blinking is a sign of cats trusting you" and I can make almost every cat my friend ☺️
Another piece of advice is to look away from the cat while you offer a finger or hand. It also helps to get on the cat's level. Sitting down, looking away, and letting the cat smell you says to the cat that you're not going to hurt it.
Absolutely. And if a cat is looking at you and squinting, or looking away, that is a good sign. If it's a cat you just met, it may be interested in you, but it likely doesn't trust you very much so it's literally keeping its eyes on you. You can also look at it for a second and slowly blink, then look away. I think this shows it that you trust it. Respecting a cat's boundaries and the fact that it may be afraid of you at first can improve your chances of petting one, but ultimately it's up to the cat if it wants to interact with you or not. Please respect their boundaries. Unless you need to get them in the carrier to take them to the vet. Then you may need to wrangle them =/
I have also found that it helps not to look directly into their eyes. I'll glance in their direction to guage their reaction, but looking or staring is definitely perceived as threatening.
I usually sit somewhere on the floor and don't do any rapid movements, and calmly call the cat by it's name until it becomes interested. And then let it sniff me. Usually after that it either goes away or lets me pet it.
I know this is probably obvious info, but just in case, for anyone else reading this, if the cat sniffs you and then leaves instead of asking/going in for pets or affection, this does not mean they don't like you or anything. A cat sniffing you and then going off to do something else is like waving hello to us. Think of it as progress in the way that they know you better now, so the next time that they do approach you, you'll be meeting with a cat you've bonded with more than before.
To be honest I intentionally dont wash my hands before going home just to let my cat sniff the world I touched 😂😂😂 Loooooove how she *snif sniff sniff* her nose is sooo cuute.
I always did this, not because I knew, but because it happened automatically. Every time I come to a cat, or he comes to me, my first thought is to stretch out my hand so that he can smell it. Sometimes we also bump foreheads, which means that he doesn't mind if I pet him.
Me too. I instinctively learned this from being around cats from a young age. If you approach slowly and put out a finger/hand, they will approach you 9/10 times and give a sniff. Usually then followed by a rub. I recognised this as a kitty "handshake" and its never failed me since!
I do this for all animals I want to pet. I hold my hand out, palm up, below the height of their head and let then approach me. No sudden movements, and no loud sounds. I just stay quiet and let them get comfy aroun me first.
I always do that! I crouch down,slooooowwwllyyy put out my hand,and let them get comfortable,If they seem ok, I'll pet them,this helped me befriend all the kitties in my street!
I call the finger to nose thing "the hoop". I do this all the times to greet my cats, however they are very used to me either being up higher or occasionally down under where they are, so they know that I'm not being threatening, just greeting them
I didn't interact much with strays, but I learned really fast to never straight up touch them, unless they're very used to people, they'll always recoil. So I just slowly extend my hand and let them come closer. It almost always works.
the easiest way to avoid cat's defensive reflexes is to just point with 3 fingers at the same time while they're curled down 1. it's showing that you want to approach it 2. it's showing that you're actively sheathing your nails 3. you're showing that by extending your hand you're extending it beyond your own attacking range 4. you're giving it more surface to sniff than just a finger
What I've always done was to get on their level looking eye to eye and gently stick my hand or finger out to sniff. I also mimic their cat churp/purr noise and im sure they appreciate it very much. Cats love being around me when i do that.
I use to present the backside of my fingers with a relaxed hand. Works with almost every cat. With cats who fear strangers sitting down and relax, talk to their parent and look slowly and casually in their direction then and now (no stare) and just wait, made the trick for me. There is one very anxious cat. She didn't come to me until I have visited a couple of times. And than at last it almost magically happened. I guess with cats it's basically trust.
I clunched together my thumb, index and middle finger and slowly approach them while lowering my body. I usually call them softly and see if they interested. If they're curious they would get near and let me pet them. getting the strays trust is the best feeling ever. just like when you get the attention and trust of a baby that hard to please.
Do you have experience with strays? Cuz I've been feeding one for years now she practically live at our property. So she is mine. But she has always been shy. I've been feeding her for a year before she let me pat her. And I would like to get her to a veterinarian in order to sterilize. But I have no idea how to get her into the carrier box. She doesn't let me hold her. Whenever I try to lift her she turns out of it. She is not biting or anything. Just turns out of it. If you or anyone has any tip feel free to share.
@@ildikobalogh5662 i'm not sure it is right to do that, especially since she isn't comfortable with being carried. i believe she is friendly and trusts you very much, but i think putting her in a carrier box won't be good for her. it might make her anxious. especially since it is an enclosed space, stray cats are wild and free, so i doubt she would appreciate being placed in one. taking her to a vet may not be the best idea either, even if you have good intentions. it is an unknown place too, she might feel stressed. stray cats are accustomed to living life on the streets. they can easily take care of their needs, and i'm assuming this cat can too, unless she is a bit dependent on you now. however, if you are keen on taking her under your wing and ready to accept the responsibilities (which i'm sure you are), you can try getting her into the carrier with the help of treats. don't force, it will be bad for her. it may take some time. cats have different personalities, and as your friend is shy and timid, you will have to be patient and gentle. i think it won't be too difficult for you though, as the cat seems to trust you.
@@ildikobalogh5662 I think you're almost there. How about increasing your skinship with her whenever you see her. Just a light pet or scritch on the forehead will do. They also like it when you rub their chin and their cheek too. Then you can move on to petting her whole head and her whole back (avoid the stomach area). And when you think youre close with her enough and let you hold her , prepare some beddings and put it inside the carrier box . A soft towel or blanket that doesnt smell too strong will do, and put some bowl and food inside too. Good luck! Usually when i see a friendly cat i did exactly what the OP does. I extend my finger slowly near their face . If they're interested and let me get close i can usually "scritch" their forehead. Then i move on to pet their head entirely , then their back. When they like you enough they usually rub their entire body around you and to me that's a sign that you can pick them up. Though not every cat will let you hold them.
Use close fist people and let them smell your knuckles. Cats perceive human fingers as claws. A cat will always be cautious and often defensive towards an unknown person.
I do it differently. I offer my whole hand to sniff or i boop his nose with my nose. He automatically approaches my nose with a confirmation sniff and it's the cutest sniff.
Th music / noise in this video is both amusing and weird at the same time. It is both compelling yet somewhat repulsive at the same time. But these sounds will stick in my mind forever. LOL !!!!!
Instead of one finger, I usually give them my whole hand, palm down, for them to sniff. Then slowly use the back of hand to pat them. Or do the slow blink.
