Be wary of people

Generally, most of the cats you encounter on the road are stray cats. They are inherently wary of humans. Even if you want to express kindness and approach them softly, their brains will tell them to leave as soon as possible due to their instinctive influence. When faced with a threat, a cat's first reaction is often to run away rather than fight back, unless it is forced into a dangerous situation and has no way to retreat.

Scared by the sound

When some people encounter a cat, they will first whistle or call twice loudly to attract the cat's attention, which will also cause the cat to avoid it. Because cats have very good hearing and can hear small sounds that are difficult for humans to hear, and can find and capture prey, cats are extremely sensitive to sounds. When a loud sound is suddenly made, the cat's instinct will be stimulated to choose Escape.

Personal private space

Just like people’s private space, cats also have their own space. When a stranger approaches it, it will feel scared and violate its private area, so it will immediately run away. This so-called private space is a distance that only people or things it recognizes can approach. When a cat feels that it may be a threat to itself, the cat will choose to escape even if it is a long distance away.

Don’t like being stared at

In the human worldview, there is nothing wrong with looking into someone's eyes when talking to them, but in a cat's eyes, being stared at is a sign of hostility. So even if you think you are looking at him gently, in the cat's eyes, you are threatening him. After sensing "danger", he chose to escape.

Cats don’t like the smell of you

Cats’ sense of smell is very well developed. And cats and people like different smells. For humans, a scent such as citrus will feel refreshing, but for cats, the opposite is true. If you approach a cat with such a scent, the cat will run away. Others include tobacco and menthol.
