How to initiate contact with an unfamiliar cat 🐈🐈⬛?
😻Letting the cat initiate and control contact during the initial interaction reduces the chances of creating a threat perception in the cat.
Avoiding looking directly into the cat's eyes 👀, squatting down to its level 🧎♀️, extending your arm and presenting the back of your hand, is the proper way to introduce yourself in a friendly manner to an unfamiliar cat 🐱.
⛔️ Smelling the back of your hand is not an invitation to touch or grab it!
✅ But, if he rubs with our hand, we can try to caress him on his little head and behind his ears for a positive exchange of scents 😻.
