Part 1: Touch the parts with smelly glands.
1, scratch the cat's chin first. Gently scratch the cat's chin with your fingers or nails, especially where the mandible connects with the skull. The cat may take the initiative to greet your hand or stretch its chin to show its enjoyment.
2. Focus on touching the area between the ears and behind the ears and gently massage with your fingertips. The root of the ear is also the part that secretes odor.
Tip: If a cat rubs its head against you, it means it wants to leave the smell on you.
3. Pat the cat on the cheek and the back of the beard. If the cat likes it, it will stretch its beard forward so that you can touch it more.
4. Rub the back of your hand back and forth along the cat's cheek. Once the cat is in a state, you can massage its beard (above the lips) with your middle finger and massage the whole face and around the head with your thumb, and then the cat will listen to you.
5. Massage the whole body for the cat. Pat the forehead first, then massage along the forehead to the tail root, and massage repeatedly from front to back. You can gently pinch the neck muscles twice during massage. Massage gently and continuously. Massage only in the direction from beginning to end, because some cats don't like massage in the opposite direction Don't massage your tail or side.
If the cat enjoys it, it will bow its back against your hand. When you let go and return to the starting position, the cat will hold your hand tightly with its forehead, hoping you will continue to massage. If the cat droops its ears, pulls away or slips away, don't massage any more.
During the whole back massage, you can scratch gently, but don't scratch in a fixed position. Keep your hands moving.
You can use a little force at the root of the tail, but not too hard. The root of the tail is also the part where the odor glands are distributed. Some cats especially like to scratch the root of the tail. But some cats have the habit of biting your hand suddenly if they don't want to massage.
Part two: Let the cat approach you actively.
1, before touching the cat, let the cat smell your smell first, so that it will feel more comfortable with you. You can reach out your hand or finger and let the cat smell you first. If the cat is not interested in your hands or stares at you warily, forget it this time. Wait until the next time the cat is in a good mood, then wait for an opportunity to touch it.
Tip: However, if a cat sniffs your hand, meows at you and rubs you with its chin, head or one side of its body, it will definitely want you to touch it. At this time, you can gently touch its body with your palm.
2. Wait for the cat to rub your head. The cat rubbed its head against your hand, hoping to get your attention. At this time, even if you are busy, at least pat it once or twice to let it know that you have not ignored it.
If the cat jumps on your lap, you can pat it first to see if it looks unhappy. If it becomes irritable, it may just want to lie quietly for a while and relax, because people's body temperature makes it feel warm and comfortable. If it is pleasant, you can continue to pat it on the back or several parts described in the second part.
You can pat the cat when it lies on its side. Cats like to be photographed lying on their side. Tap the upward side of your body. If it meows or purrs, it may mean that it likes the process. Be careful not to pat your stomach (see part 3, point 3).
5. Let the cat purr in a low voice. Grunt is a signal that cats express friendliness and hope to be noticed. If it rubs people with its ass, walks around under your feet or rubs you with its head, it means it really wants you to touch it now. Sometimes you just need to shake hands with it or say hello, and it's enough. You don't have to hold it or lean close together. The level of snoring also represents the happiness of the cat. The higher the purr, the happier the cat is. A slight purr indicates that the cat is satisfied, and a high purr indicates that the cat is happy. If the purr is too high, it means that the cat is too happy and may suddenly switch to an angry state. You should be careful.
6. Pay attention to the signal that the cat doesn't want to be touched again. Although stroking a cat is comfortable, it may overstimulate or annoy the cat if you keep patting it. If you are not careful, the cat may gently bite or scratch you. Usually cats send subtle signals when they don't want to be touched. Once you find these signals, stop touching: lower your ears.

The third part: the taboo of licking cats
1, massage gently from beginning to end, and don't change direction at will. Some cats don't like to massage from tail to head in the opposite direction.
2. Don't pat the cat. Some cats like to be photographed, others don't. If you haven't been in contact with cats for a long time, you'd better not try, or you may be bitten or scratched.
Don't touch your stomach. When a cat relaxes, it may turn over and show its belly. Don't think that this must be to be moved. In fact, many cats don't like being touched at all. Because cats are naturally cautious, they always carefully protect themselves from natural enemies. This is different from dogs, which are more confident and prefer to scratch their stomachs. Below the belly is an important organ, which is a very fragile part, so if someone touches the belly, many cats will instinctively show their teeth or claws. Some cats like to be touched, but it will be interpreted as you want to be serious or play a "wrestling" game. They will grab your hand or arm with their paws, bite it with their mouths open, and scratch it wildly with their front and rear paws. It's not really attacking you, but the cat is playing wrestling with you.
If the cat paws at you, don't move. Let the cat release its paws voluntarily. If necessary, you can gently remove its claws with your other hand. If you move, it will hold more tightly. As long as you stop quickly, the cat will loosen its claws when it sees it.
Be careful when touching your feet. Don't mess around unless you know cats well and know that they like to be touched. Gently pat it to relax at first, and then touch its feet with your fingers after you get permission. Many cats don't like people touching their feet at all, but they can like touching their feet by giving them continuous rewards during nail cutting.
Tip: If the cat doesn't resist, gently pat its feet with your fingers along the direction of hair growth (ankle to toe). If the cat dodges, hisses at you, droops its ears or runs away, then you should stop touching it.
Tip: When approaching a cat, move slowly and try to lower your body. Most cats don't like high pressure.
When you massage or tickle a cat, if it stretches its limbs quickly, it means that it likes you to tickle. At this time, cats often purr, wink and give you a "smile". This shows that the cat likes your massage very much.
If you see a cat wagging its tail vigorously, its ears pressing forward or backward, its pupils dilated or its claws stiff, stop stroking immediately, because the cat is angry and may bite or scratch you at any time.
Some cats like people touching their ears. If you gently massage your cat's ears, they will like it very much. But also be aware that some cats don't like this.
Snoring doesn't necessarily mean that cats are happy, so don't mistake snoring for not biting people. Many people think that the purr of a cat is a signal of "please pay attention", which may be because the cat is happy or angry.
Some cats meow when they want you to stop stroking, and some cats meow when they want you to stroking harder. Loud meowing may indicate anger, so you'd better stop when you hear a cat meowing loudly, just in case.
Some cats like to be held, others don't. If the cat struggles to jump out of your arms, it means it doesn't want to hug now.
Many cats don't like people patting their tails. If you want to know whether your cat likes it, you can pat it. If it retracts quickly and hisses or meows unnaturally or angrily, it means that it doesn't like it. Then don't touch this part again, and please don't touch it here.
Stroking cats helps the body release stress-relieving hormones, which can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Friends who want to raise kittens must pay attention to the fact that these little guys are sharp-tongued and sharp-clawed, which is even more powerful than big cats.
Warning: If you are bitten and scratched by a cat, the injury is serious. You should first thoroughly clean the wound with antibacterial soap and apply antibacterial drugs, and then seek medical attention in time. If the wound is deep, it should be treated by a doctor to prevent serious infection.
Children must be supervised by adults when stroking cats. Children can easily irritate cats and get bitten or scratched by them. Some cats are friendly to adults, but not to children. Be careful not to let the child's face get too close to the cat.
If you are allergic to cats, don't hit them.
If the cat shows its lost face, go away quickly to avoid being bitten or scratched.
