Not exactly a cat person?

Never fear…we’re here…with some ways to get cats to like you from Stars Insider:

Let them come to you A study in Switzerland found they’re more likely to approach if you ignore them and interactions last longer if they initiate them.

Get down on their level  They’re less likely to feel intimidated when you’re down low.

Hold one finger out  Cats like it because they greet each other nose-to-nose and your finger simulates that.

Only pet them where they like it  In general on their face, head, and chin.  Most cats don’t like their back, stomach, feet or tail to be touched at all.

Play with them more  They’ll start to feel more comfortable around you if you do…and if they’re active during the day, they’re more likely to sleep with you at night.

Talk to them while they eat  It helps them associate your voice with the good feelings they get from food.

If it’s a kitten, handle them a lot  Cats that get picked up a lot as kittens tend to be friendlier toward humans as adults…just don’t do it when they’re eating, sleeping, or cleaning themselves because it stresses them out.

Now go out there and make a new friend!
