Not always homeless cats go to a person who constantly feeds them and tries to take care of them as much as possible.
If you want to adopt a pet, you first need to make friends with it. This is not always as easy as it may seem.
There are several simple tricks that will turn a stray pet into your most devoted friend.
How to Adopt a Cat
1. Don't rush to pick up the animal. Having become accustomed to surviving on the street, the cat may respond aggressively. How can it know what's on your mind?
2. If a cat has come to your dacha, then start feeding it on a regular basis.
Animals get used to this regime quite quickly, and when feeding becomes a habit, your pet will develop pleasant associations with your presence.
3. Do not make any sudden movements so as not to frighten the animal.
In general, try not to make noise or shout, otherwise you will frighten the guest.
4. Make your cat's stay on your property interesting.
Let her be attracted not only by food, but also by toys, a comfortable place to sleep, and so on.
5. Until the cat allows you to pet her, do not even try to drag her into a carrier and take her home.
As they say in the human world - respect personal boundaries.
It is quite possible that a cat or a male cat will not want to change their usual way of life at all.
Therefore, try to make a safe shelter for the animal in case of bad weather or other danger.
