Yesterday on the street, returning from a meeting, I noticed a very cute cat. Of course, I tried to approach carefully, using a secret technique, but it did not work. At first he stood still, and then, when I almost got my way, he suddenly jumped back and ran away. I was so upset :(

    Have you tried being deathly allergic to cats? I hear that makes them love you.

      Because cats want to warm up to people on their own time. And people who don’t like cats (or are allergic) give them lots of space. So then the cat warms up to them.

      The best piece of advice for getting a cat to like you is to ignore them until they approach you. If you approach before they’re ready, they’ll spook. But if you let them approach when they’re ready, they’ll love you.
