Why does a cat often move away when we bring our face closer to it?

If you have a cat, it has probably tried to paw, sniff, or lick your face more than once.

But when the owner himself brings his face close to the cat, this is perceived with hostility.

Why does this happen?

It does not depend on the breed or character of the pet.

Almost all cats do not like it when a person tries to get closer to them with their face.

Cats like to play by their own rules and control everything, including the owner's behavior.

Therefore, you should not suddenly move your face closer to the cat; such arbitrary action will certainly anger it.
