How to Get Along With Your Cat Getting to know your cat I s a long and hard task to do but it’s a great goal to achieve. Knowing your cat in a more familiar sense will be an adventure and also an excellent lesson. Most people find it difficult to connect mentally with an animal. Fortunately, with this guideline I’m sure it will help you to achieve your goal quicker. First thing is important not to appear too needy. Cats claim a large personal space and resent any premature assaults on its personal space. Do not attempt to throw yourself at a cat. It is still important not to make a fool of yourself. Treat the initial meeting like a job interview. Be cautious and as self-possessed as possible. Cute behavior, such as excessive “kitty-kittying,” is discouraged. Fur ruffling and obnoxious actions will most likely terminate the interview. However, cats are often bored by the paltry, trifling challenges that everyday life brings and are looking for fresh conquests. Therefore, “out catting the cat,” can be an effective way to induce an interaction. Unable to resist the challenge, the object of your inattention will be forced to come over to see what’s wrong with you. Strategically, you have gained some ground by forcing the cat to admit, if not interest, then at least morbid curiosity. Remember, it’s always the cat’s choice. Even a scrawny, flea-bitten, moth-eaten, guttersnipe of a cat will sniff “no thank you” if you are obviously unsuitable. At some point in your relationship with your cat, you may feel that you absolutely must make a stand regarding some point of disagreement. Do not enter into this course of action lightly the outcome might be uncertain. If forced to face down a cat, remember that the autumn is the best time to press an issue. There is never a good time, but at least a time when the elements act in your favor. There is nothing like a little frost in the air to bring out
