Cats have places on their bodies that they don't allow strangers to touch.
We tell you where a cat only allows those it trusts to pet it.
How to tell if your cat trusts you
A cat trusts you if it allows you to touch its belly, paws, paw pads, tail and neck.
These are the most vulnerable places on a cat's body. As a rule, cats allow only their owners to touch these places.
If a cat allows you to pick it up or jumps onto your lap, this is the highest sign of trust.
You shouldn't abuse your cat's trust: she's unlikely to like it if you tug at her tail.
