Your Cat Chooses You?

Some people rely on the old saying, “Your pet chooses you.” While this can be the case, it’s a devastating notion when it comes to shy cats. A shy cat may fall in love with you from a distance, but be too timid to approach you—especially with bolder cats in the way, vying for your attention. When you’re at the shelter, be sure to look for that cat that may be peeking at you from a distance. Give him or her some time, maybe even over several visits. It just might turn out to be “your” cat after all.

“Remember, the cat may be frightened and the personality you see at the moment may not reflect how the cat will be in a home environment without all the shelter stress. What matters now is whether you feel a connection. Let the cat come to you. Take the time needed for the cat to feel secure enough to come toward you, even just a few steps. “ Wellness Pet Food blog
