Each cat is individual and has its own character. Whether it's a homeless kitten or a fluffy and thoroughbred couch potato. Cats can show their affection in completely different ways. How to teach your pet to hands?
Instructions
Step 1
So, first you need to learn one rule, cats are very sensitive creatures. It is necessary to begin to accustom the cat to the hands gradually and not intrusively. If for the first time your pet jumped off the hands - it's okay. Do not forcibly hold the cat in your arms and wait for it to scratch you.
Step 2
You need to train the cat to hand in stages. To get started, just start stroking or scratching behind the ear. Then try to lure her with something (for example, a piece of sausage) closer to your palms. As soon as the pet comes up, do not immediately grab it nervously in your arms and hold it near you. You need to make sure that the cat is distracted or forgotten for a while, while it is near your palms.
Step 3
It should be noted that a small kitten is easier to hand train than an adult cat. For an adult cat, you will have to be patient.
Step 4
If your pet shows signs of attention to you, then this is already good. For example, a cat may lie in the same bed with you or sit on the same couch with you. Pet care and affection should be encouraged.
Step 5
You also need to understand that not every cat loves touch. Then you should resort to more serious measures. For example, you can get a special cat spray that is high in pheromones at any pet store. By sprinkling this spray on your palms, you will notice how the cat will reach for you on its own. But you should not use this method very often, as the cat can become addicted and develop a reflex to this drug. Subsequently, it will be difficult for you to wean your cat from this medication. You can also use special catnip.
Step 6
Cats are very touchy creatures. If you have ever offended your pet, then it is unlikely that he will just jump into his arms. You need to treat your cat more carefully and sensitively. If you give the cat love, joy and affection, then over time the cat will answer you the same. Therefore, do not despair if in the first month the pet does not get used to the hands.
