Very sensitive hearing. Loud appliances, vehicles, music distress them. Maintain calm environment.
Loud Noises
Dislike stroking tail to head. Feels awful and erases scent glands. Pet head to tail instead.
Petting Against Fur
Tempting fluffy tummies are traps. Most hate belly rubs. Will bite or scratch. Rub cheeks instead.
Belly Rubs
Bathing, spray bottles typically unwelcome. Consider damp cloth instead. Respect feline cleanliness.
Water
Value routines. Surprise waking, guests, decor changes frustrating. Give advance notice.
Surprises
Social creatures need daily interaction to thrive. Avoid frequently leaving them solitary.
Ignoring
Cats' perspectives. Insight prevents misunderstandings. Happier human-feline friendships
