It is important to pet cats correctly, some touches bring pain and severe discomfort to the animal.
How to pet cats correctly
First, you need to establish contact with the animal.
If you start petting a cat without getting to know it, this can cause fear and discomfort in the animal.
Let the pet sniff your hands and give permission to touch.
To do this, slowly pull your hand to the cat's nose and the animal will understand that you are not dangerous.
When petting, most cats prefer soft movements in one direction.
You should not pet the animal against the grain, as this can be physically uncomfortable and even painful.
Many cats like to be petted behind the ears, on the back, along the body.
Not many like touching the paws, tail and belly.
Petitions on the left and right along the body are usually very pleasant for cats.
If your cat starts showing signs of discomfort, such as tail twitching or trying to get away, stop petting and give the animal a break.
Remember that every cat is unique and has its own preferences.
Watch the animal's reactions and adapt your actions according to the cat's desires.
Over time, you will learn to understand what exactly your cat likes and will be able to give your pet the maximum pleasure from communicating with you.
