Tip - 11 - Cats and
Strangers
Cats and strangers
in the house
Why do cats tend to gravitate toward those people that don't like
cats?
This is a common occurrence
at house parties. A group of friends gather together at a house
that has a cat. Sure enough there are cat lovers in the room,
as well as people that don't care for cats. Why then does the
cat often choose to hang out near the person (or on the lap of
the person) that doesn't care for cats?
The answer has to do
with direct eye contact. Direct eye contact or staring at the
cat is a threatening sign for the cat. Of course all the cat
lovers in the room are doing the staring trying to get the cat's
attention. On the other hand the cat 'disliker' generally avoids
looking at the cat and is usually ignoring the cat. This makes
the cat feel more comfortable and they will often approach that
person. So if you are a cat lover and want the attention of a
strange cat, maybe the best trick is to avoid the cat all together
and see if it comes around.
