Affectionally Approaching your Pet Cat
The first thing to do is to approach your pet cat gently. Let the kitten sniff us so that they can verify that we do not want to hurt them or treat them roughly.
If in search of a connection with your pet, it begins to smell you or rub with the hand that you have extended to it, it is a good sign. The pet cat is likely to give in and allow itself to be stroked. After gaining confidence, we will stroke the cat’s head with your fingertips. We will focus especially on the area behind their ears to later move on to the rest of the body. After running your fingers through one of the most sensitive areas of the cat’s body, such as the back of their ears, we will continue. We can pass our palms from the neck of our feline to the tail, and never the other way around. Although you can apply pressure to these strokes, the movements should be soft and delicate.
Beware of some actions when loving a cat
Avoid catching your pet cat by the tail, or trying to forcefully caress the side of its body. As a sign, if affection for a cat gives them pleasure, they will move in a way that responds with caresses and we are not the only ones who give it to them. On the contrary, if the cat puts its ears back, it means that it is not left and it is better not to give it any kind of caresses.
We will observe that if our pet cat approaches and lies next to us it may be that it is asking to be caressed. It can also happen that they’rere averse to caresses. In that case, you have to stop. This is because they are perhaps only looking for the human warmth of their owner. The clapping is frequent that the owners do it in the affection of a cat. But not all kitties like this action. If we do not have a perfect relationship with them, it is best to avoid these caresses in the form of patting.
Touch the belly of your pet cat
It is not the most successful. When pet cats are relaxed, they may roll over on their back and expose their belly. But we should not always take it as an invitation to touch them, as many do not like it at all. The reason for this misunderstanding is that cat nature teaches them to protect themselves from potential predators. Unlike dogs, who are more confident in this regard and love to have their belly scratched. The stomach is for them a vulnerable area where all the vital organs are located.

The purr of your pet cat
When we hear our pet purring, that means that it is trying to get our attention to be caressed. Experts recommend letting it happen based on the cat’s preferences. It is important to seek their “permission” to touch them. And also to let them have control of the interaction. The loudness of the purr when loving a cat denotes its level of happiness. The louder the purr, the happier they are. A soft purr means that you are happy, while a loud one indicates that they are very happy.
Similarly, an excessively loud purr from your pet cat means excessive happiness. Sometimes it can become annoying, in this case, you have to proceed with caution.
Touch the paws very carefully, lovingly to a cat
We should not play with a cat’s paws unless you know them well and know that they’d like you to do so. Begin by stroking the cat to relax it, then see if it agrees to let us touch its paws by touching one with your finger.
Although many cats do not like to have their paws handled, they can be trained. Some actions have a lot of effect, such as cutting off its claws through a slow and rolling reward system. In all cases of affection for a cat, it is about having a lot of patience, going little by little .
