How to Pet a Cat: A Guide to Stroking Your
Feline Friend
As pawrents, there’s nothing we love more than cosying up with our
furry felines for a cuddle on the sofa. But is your adorable kitty enjoying
the cuddle as much as you are – or as much as you thought they were?
Despite what many non-pet parents think, cats are actually very social
and affectionate creatures. They’ve developed a reputation for being
quite aloof and independent. But rather than this being their natural
behaviour, some cats may develop a disliking for cuddles because their
pawrents simply aren’t petting them right.
To ensure you’re hitting the sweet spots and avoiding getting scratched,
keep reading for our simple guide on how to pet a cat.

Why
do
cats
like being
stroked
?
First things first, what is it about being
petted
that
cats
– and dogs –
love so much?
There are a number of things that contribute
to our
kitty’s
love of
cuddles
.
The most common
theory
is that
, when being
stroked
, the motion reminds
cats
of their mother
grooming and licking
them as a
kitten
.
This
helps
your
cat
to
relax and feel safe
, reminding
them of
a special bonding time
with their mother. By
stroking
your
cat
from
a young age
, you can help to form
a bond
with them that is
unlikely to be broken.
Another theory that’s popular
amongst pawrents and
pet
psychologists
is that we leave an individual scent on our
cat’s
coat
when
petting
them
, giving them
a sense of comfort and safety
,
especially once we have
formed a bond
with them.
When
socialising
with other kitties, cats show their affection by
grooming
each other.
A
group or family of
cats
will do that to
help build a shared smell
, useful
for
identifying
one another
.
And, of course,
they might simply
enjoy the feeling
of a good
massage
,
just as we would.
