Many people think that cats are too afraid of strangers. In fact, cats don’t like the approach of strangers by nature, and they are very sensitive. If you want your cat to be more friendly, you need some small methods. In this way, when friends come to the house, you can play with the cute cats.

1. Reasons why cats don’t like strangers

1. Fear of being hurt

Some cats have been hurt by people, so they are very sensitive and fearful of contact with people. In fact, some injuries to cats may occur when the cat is out, and the owner is not aware of it.

2. Cats have different personalities

Short-haired cats like to be hugged, but long-haired cats often run away from someone’s arms as soon as they are hugged. This shows that cats have different personalities. It is difficult for timid cats to get close to strangers.

3. Too little communication

Some owners are single and have to go to work during the day and come home at night. They have very little verbal or physical contact with their cats, so the cats feel distrustful of people and are very wary.

2. Strategy for creating the perfect welcome cat

1. Give sufficient love

A cat that is loved will be confident and generous. Give the cat enough love and let the cat feel that humans are its closest partners, and then it will repay human love with the same enthusiasm.

If the cat at home is a cat that has been injured (spiritually), it is even more important to warm its heart with love, so that the cat can feel the deep love of humans and let go of its wariness towards humans.

2. Have more contact with cats

Hug the cat often to let the cat get used to being hugged until it falls in love with human arms. Be careful to hug it in the right way so it doesn't make your cat uncomfortable.

3. Let the cat get used to being hugged

Have more skin-to-skin contact with the cat, such as stroking, kissing and whispering, so that the cat feels that there is no threat from people and feels loved by people. Play more with cats to make them feel that humans are good playmates.

4. Let the cat get used to the sound

Let the cat be exposed to more people's voices, such as people's conversations on TV, strangers' voices on the radio, etc., so that the cat feels that strange sounds will not pose a threat to it.

5. Get familiar with unfamiliar smells

You can ask friends to come to your home to see the cat or take the cat out for a walk with safety measures in place, which can increase the cat's chances of coming into contact with strangers.

You can also bring your friends’ belongings home to expose the cat to some unfamiliar smells. Over time, the cat’s courage will gradually increase. So dare to contact strangers.

three, Be careful when cats come into contact with strangers

1. Don’t force the cat

When guests come to your home, never force a timid cat to come out and say hello, but it is important for the cat to get in touch with strangers little by little.

2. Don’t move too much

When you take the cat out, the customer needs to stay quiet and not make any big movements. The owner should gently comfort the kitten, and if it struggles, let it go without grabbing it forcefully.

3. Approach gently

When it can tolerate the presence of strangers around it, see if anyone can come to it to pet or hug it. The movements should be gentle. If not, give up immediately.

4. Rewards build confidence

In the process of training cats, you should build more confidence in your cats. You should not punish frequently, but should focus on encouragement. If your cat behaves well, you can give some delicious food or say some words of praise, so that the cat will gradually like to stay with people more and more.
