If your cat doesn't let you pet her, she may not like the way you do it.
We tell you which areas of a cat’s body should not be petted, and which areas should be given special attention.
Where you can and cannot pet a cat
Cats like to be stroked most of all in the head area. There are glands on the cat's head that produce pheromones, with the help of which animals mark their territory.
This is why cats rub their heads against furniture and their owners' legs.
You can safely stroke your cat's cheeks, forehead, chin and neck; your pet will definitely like it.
You need to stroke the cat's back very carefully, and it is better not to touch its paws, belly and tail at all, as this may cause an aggressive reaction.
