Many people think that cats naturally dislike them.. That there is some kind of evil force that makes cats hate you.. Well they are wrong.. cats don’t hate people, you just need to know some rules when dealing with cats!

1.   Don’t approach cats standing up. Can you imagine someone walking to you that is 15 times taller then you.. would you just stay there? I don’t think so. Make yourself small.. and ask the cat to come to you. Or approach it slowly.
2.   Cats are not dogs, so don’t pet them like they are dogs. You can be rough with dogs, with cats you need to be more gentle.
3.   When you first want to pet the cat, simply put your hand in front of the cat, and it will smell you and start to hug your hand… Take it from there.
4.   Don't touch the belly of a cat, most cats don’t like that. Some do, but only after they know you for some time.
5.   When a cat is looking at you, you simply look back and close your eyes slowly. The cat will respond the same and will feel comfortable with you. Repeat a couple of times, but don’t stare. You will see that the cat will accept you.
6.   Cats get scared easy, so if you pick them up and a car backfires or something falls of the table, you are going to be hurt… So don’t pick up cats you don’t know well.
7.   Cats don’t react very well to strong smells, like toothpaste for example. Their reaction could be to jump away.
8.   Some cats have been mistreated, and are very shy. The same rules apply, you will just need more time.
9.   Cats do not forget, hit them and you will loose their respect. And it will be almost impossible to regain their trust.
10.   Keep your movements slow, making quick movements will usually scare the cats.
