What could be more pleasant than simply petting a cat that is waiting for it?

It seems like a very simple task. But in reality, many people do not know how to pet an animal correctly.

The thing is that there are places on a cat's body that are best left untouched, otherwise the pet may bite or scratch. You should not touch the tail, the base of the tail, the paws, the lower back, or the stomach.

Another thing is the head, neck and back. Also, most pets will not mind receiving stroking under the chin and between the ears.

Touches should be gentle and light. These animals do not tolerate rudeness.

It is also important to remember that cats do not always want to be petted.

For example, if she tried to hide or went to sleep in a secluded place, then it is better not to disturb her.

If the animal is bored or wants affection, it will approach its owner.
