The arrival of guests can cause stress not only for the owners, but also for their furry pet.
To ensure your cat's introduction to new people goes smoothly, follow these simple rules.
Prepare the area
Make sure your animal has a "safety zone" that it can retreat to whenever it wants to hide.
Warn your guests
Tell friends or family who come to visit you about your cat's personality and explain what they can and cannot do when meeting her.
Don't force the acquaintance
Don't drag your cat out of his hiding place to show him off to guests - let your pet decide when he's ready to be seen by everyone.
Pay close attention to the animal's body language. For example, if the cat has pressed its ears and its fur is standing on end, it means it is stressed.
Create a positive association
You can please your cat with his favorite treat - let your guests treat the purr-fect one when he shows interest in them.
