Cats are wonderful animals and it's great to have them around, but they too, like people, have feelings and emotions. Unlike people, however, they don't understand you when you tell them, "hey, man, it's all right". This article will help you make friends with that angry cat.
Steps
Step 1. Be patient
As in any type of relationship, the bond between a human being and a cat must be cultivated with patience. Do not run to meet the cat, grab it, chase it or even look at it in a funny way.
Step 2. Respect the cat as you would a father-in-law who doesn't like you, but you still have to conquer
Step 3. Show your cat that good things come from you
Bring him snacks whenever you get close to him. Don't be angry if he blows and shows aggression. Just leave it alone. If he is too scared to let you approach, throw the food at him gently (note: throw it NEAR him and not AGAINST him).
Step 4. Gradually try to bring him closer to accept the treat you offer him until he eats from your hand
Step 5. Turn dinner time into a show
Shake the bag, open the can as loud as possible, call the cat by name, etc.
Step 6. Take some time out of your day to look for him and sit next to him where he can see you, but not look at him
Eat something (possibly meat) that smells really good or tinker with a cat toy. Keep doing this until he begins to approach out of curiosity. The first time it approaches, don't move and let it sniff you and take a look at you. If you make a sudden movement, it may run away.
Step 7. As he approaches, offer him a bite of food or the toy
Step 8. If he accepts it and does not flee immediately, pet him
Advice
- If you have a cat that likes to hide, don't take it out of its hiding place. Cats need a place to feel safe when threatened. Instead, get in the habit of sitting where I can see you. This will make him feel more comfortable with your presence and he will end up going out on his own.
- Try to give him his special hiding place. A box, a covered kennel, or some other place where he can curl up and that you consider his. Make it a rule that no one can touch him when he is in his place. Having a safe zone will make him more confident, and while it sounds absurd, giving him a place to hide will actually make him hide less.
- Instead of trying to make your cat love you, try to give him more opportunities for him to choose to do so. Stay around him as much as possible, but don't make it obvious what you are doing. Simply, found with cunning in the same area. If you hunt him down and stare he will think you are stalking him, which is clearly concerning no matter who you are.
- Read her body language. Besides of course when he blows, you should back off when his whiskers start to point back and his tail starts wiggling.
- If you are still developing a bond with your cat (or, really, anyone) corruption is the right choice. Give him gifts on any occasion.
- Remember: kickbacks, kickbacks and more kickbacks.
- Look at its tail. If he fidgets he is angry, and if his ears are tilted back he is frightened and / or angry.
Watch out for his possible attack. To soothe a cat, put some baby food on your finger and hand it to him so he can eat it.
Warnings
- Remember that a cat is very different from a dog. While with a dog you have to establish your authority, trying to prove to the cat that whoever dominates you will not work. You don't own a cat - it owns you. At least, that's his point of view.
- Observe your cat carefully. If he begins to show signs of aggression, PULL BACK. The more you impose yourself on an angry cat, the more the cat will hate you.
- Never scold or punish your cat when it blows. Blowing is his way of saying how scared he is, and if you punish him for his fear he will only get scared even more.
- Don't rush too much and have high expectations too soon. You have to give the cat time. One thing any cat trainer will tell you is that if a cat doesn't want to do something, there is nothing to change their mind.
