Cats are considered to be animals that are not particularly devoted to their owners.

Unlike dogs, such pets do not show joy when a person returns home.

In addition, fluffy animals rarely show affection and affection towards people.

They do not follow commands, do not bring slippers, and do not provide other assistance to the owner.

It may seem that cats are independent, self-confident and selfish animals that consider themselves to be almost the main inhabitants of the house.

But in fact, fluffy animals, like many other pets, can become attached to people and love them.

And the apparent "selfishness" of the animal may be just a manifestation of fear or a kind of defensive reaction. It is possible that the kitten simply withdraws into itself.

If a person wants to make friends with a kitten and win its trust, it is advisable to follow several important recommendations.

Don't be pushy

This rule must always be followed, but especially during the period when the kitten is just adapting to people and a new home.

If the animal has recently appeared in the house, then you should not pester it.

Interact with your pet only when it demonstrates the corresponding desire.

The cat came to you? Great! You can pet the animal. It makes sense to play with the fluffy one. In addition, you can give it something tasty. The cat left? Don't chase it.

Feed well, but don't overfeed

Feeding a cat is a very important moment. The pet will trust the person who gives it tasty food.

The four-legged friend does not feel fear of the provider. On the contrary, he can even show affection.

You need to feed your cat regularly. You can't deny a hungry pet food: the animal's trust will immediately disappear.

But don't overdo it with treats. If the cat gets fat, the pet's attitude towards humans won't be the best either.

Iron

Tactile contact is also of great importance. The kitten should be stroked often.

Fluffy will like it if a person strokes his head. But you shouldn't touch the pet's tail, belly or paws.
