Cats are very independent creatures, but they also need your love and care to thrive. If you pay attention to your cat's preferences, know its favorite foods, and provide love and proper care, your pet cat will love you too.

I. How to get your cat to like us is quite simple

First, get to know your cat
1, strike a healthy balance between playing with your cat and giving it time alone. Even when cats need your care, they are very much in need of independence and personal space. While cats love to be petted, they are not always interested in interacting with people.

One of the biggest mistakes people who have pets make is treating cats like dogs. Remember they are very different animals!

Dogs were originally packed animals used to work with people. In contrast, cats are relatively solitary animals that once served humans by killing vermin.

Don't choke your cat or get mad at them for avoiding you at times. It is part of their nature.

2, Avoid resorting to punishment. When cats are punished by yelling or other aggressive behavior, they tend to run away. In most cases, cats do not learn through training. If you are a mean owner, your cat will not love you.

Never hit your cat, as this will only make things worse.

Although spraying water on your cat to punish bad behavior is a common strategy, spraying may make your cat fearful and distrustful of you

3. Discover your cat's favorite treats. As with humans, there are certain foods that cats like best. Find out what these foods are and don't use punishment to reinforce your cat's positive behavior. Cats have different tastes, but small tuna fillets and cooked chicken fillets are often irresistible. Ration these foods to make your cat love you.

Avoid feeding cats milk; contrary to popular belief, dairy products are unhealthy for them.

Don't feed your cat chocolate, candy, raw eggs, raw meat, or fish, either.

Remember, hospitality is not a substitute for a good cat meal.

4, Embrace your cat's unique personality! While all cats share some common behaviors, there are considerable differences. Take the time to learn what your cat likes and dislikes. Understanding and respecting your cat's unique personality is important for it to love you.

II. Communicating with your cat

1, Learn and respect your cat's body language. Just like humans, cats use body language to express everything from trust to fear. Their posture conveys important information. For example:

An arched back, upright fur, and unsheathed paws mean your cat feels threatened. Leave it alone for now!

If your cat touches you with his elbows, he probably wants to play.

If your cat is curling its tail around you, it may be showing satisfaction.

When a cat approaches you with its tail pointing up and then curls around slightly at the top it is wanting to see you petting and play with you, let a cat see you put your hands on it first, and let them sniff over what you have stolen.

If its tail is between its legs, your cat may feel anxious or upset.

2, listen to your cat's purr. Purring is a sign of love and contentment. Growling and hissing mean to stay away. Meowing is an attention-getting vocalization that expresses everything from hunger to a desire for love.

Cats don't meow at each other; they meow to communicate with people.

Meowing a lot can mean that you are sick and need to see a veterinarian.

3. Avoid prolonged eye contact with your cat. Although polite in conversations between people, many cats find prolonged eye contact threatening. When a cat blinks in your presence, it is a sign of trust.

The next time your cat starts blinking at you, try to mimic its behavior.

By blinking slowly, you are communicating trust and openness, and fostering a loving relationship.

4, When you pick up your cat, first return to its level. Bend down slowly and then lift your cat into the air. If the cat can see you before you pick it up, it is less likely to be startled.

III. Caring for your cat

1. Keep your cat out of danger. If your cat is safe, it will love you more. Make sure your cat has a safe place to sleep, feels safe when going to the bathroom, has clear access to food, and is not threatened by other humans or animals in the house.

Make sure your cat cannot be exposed to toxic substances.

Keep your pantry and cupboard doors closed, as cats are curious creatures and they can get into trouble.

Put a collar with a quick-release buckle on your cat (in case it gets stuck) that includes contact information in case it escapes.

2. Feed your cat according to a schedule. Cats are creatures of habit. Do not change their eating schedule drastically or frequently. When your cat does something good, try to reward them with food, but don't let this interfere with their main meal. To make your cat love you more, don't change the type or brand of food they eat too often.

It is very healthy for cats to eat dry food, canned food, or both.

Most experts recommend feeding cats no more than two meals a day. In industrialized countries, one in five cats is obese, which can lead to serious health problems.

3. Don't neglect your cat! When away from home, make sure your cat has enough food and fresh water. If you are away from home for an extended period, make sure someone is paying attention to your cat's health, cleaning up its litter, and providing some stimulation. A cat that is neglected will not love you.

Although cats are fairly independent creatures, they do need human attention and regular grooming.

If you are going on vacation, consider getting a pet sitter.

4. Clean the litter box regularly. Cats love cleanliness; if their litter box is dirty, they will probably find somewhere else to go. Add fresh litter daily. Wash the box frequently with soap and water.

Don't suddenly change the type or brand of litter.

When switching to a new brand of litter, mix the old with the new.

5. Brush your cat's teeth often. They love it! Regular brushing keeps their coats and skin healthy, prevents them from tangling, and reduces shedding and hairballs. Grooming is a great opportunity to find lumps, fleas, or damage. You can also use brushing as an opportunity to bond with your cat.

Do not allow your cat to rub the fur; this can cause discomfort and stress.

Remember to use long strokes rather than short, thick strokes to gently brush your teeth.

6. Play with your cat. He likes simple, inexpensive toys - try using a toy tied to a string to simulate prey. Make the toy sprint like a rodent or flutter like a bird. Your cat will mischievously pounce on the toy in front of you. Cats love to stimulate their owners by playing with them.

Encourage your cat to pounce on the toy, not your hand!

7. Get a scraper. Cats are prone to scratching at surfaces in your home such as furniture. However, they can be trained to scratch specific objects, especially stakes with rough surfaces, such as thick carpet or sisal. Your cat will love you more if you have proper scratching areas.

Consider buying or building a "cat tree" or "cat condo" that can double as a scratching board and play structure. They will enjoy climbing and playing on this structure.

Take advantage of your cat's "cupboard love" tendencies. Many cats prefer people who feed them in the house. If you have more than one person in the house, try to be the one who feeds the cat. The cat will get used to this and will come to you immediately if she is hungry or it is time for dinner.

One of the best ways to get your cat to love you is through its stomach!
