Just like humans, there are times when it's best to give your cat some space. Avoid moving, petting, or playing with your cat when he is washing himself, eating, drinking, or sleeping. Doing so may scare, stress, or annoy him, which could result in an unpleasant reaction. Allowing your cat to clean or sleep in peace can help him trust and like you and forge a strong bond. Always be gentle and loving with your cat. This demonstrates to him that he can trust you and may make him more likely to approach and seek out quality time with you.  Always pet and pick him up softly, keeping in mind that he is a lot smaller than you are. Never squeeze your cat or pull his tail. Although you might be tempted to show your kitty love by following him and picking her up, this often goes against cat behavior. Allow your cat your approach you whenever he wants to help him relax and feel comfortable getting your attention.  You can teach your cat to come when you call him—for food or otherwise—with simple training methods.  Never chase your cat or use a loud voice with him. This can scare him not only in the moment, but also in the future. If your cat doesn't seem to want to come to you, try enticing him with a treat or some catnip. If you squat, lie, or kneel down to the same level as your cat, you may appear less threatening. This may make him feel more relaxed in your presence and more likely to form a strong relationship with you.  You may find that lying down on the floor helps draw him to you. Sitting on the sofa or in a chair may also be another way to get your cat to comfortably approach you.  Since cats like to watch other small animals, consider lying or sitting near a window, which can provide him entertainment and give you the option of petting him while he perches. Cats are very alert and observant, which requires them to frequently hold up their heads. Pet and stroke your cat as he likes to relax her and help him to like you more.  You can massage your cat's neck or any other area that he might like such as his back, under his chin, or even his belly. With time, you will recognize the spots on which your cat likes to be stroked and petted and you may find that he seeks you out for this. Make sure to always be gentle when petting your cat. Pet your cat as a reward for doing something good such as using his litter box. You may even want to offer occasional pats as you place his newly-filled food dish on the floor. If you want to pet your cat and he is reluctant, just hold your hand out and let him sniff it. He  might rub his cheek on your hand and feel more comfortable with you petting him at that juncture. If your cat likes, allow him to fall asleep on you as you pet him. One of the best ways to get your cat to like you is by showing affection beyond basic care. Petting, stroking, and playing with him helps form a bond of trust and love between you and your cat. Some typical ways your cat will show affection that you can reciprocate are:  Bumping heads. This is the way a cat says hello. It stimulates the oil glands in the front of his ears, leaving his scent on you. If he bumps your head, bump him back gently. Presenting his butt. Your cat may back up to your face and lift his tail. This means he wants you, his parent, to clean him. You can reciprocate by blowing gently at his bum, which he will associate with you and your cleaning style. Kneading you. This is a sign that your cat is happy and associates you with his mother. Allow him to knead as much as he likes to help him relax and forge your bond. Licking you. Grooming is one way that cats establish a common scent among their clan. Licking allows him to claim you as his own and may help further promote your relationship. It's important that your cat knows his name, so talk to him often and refer to him by name. If he meows, talk back to her. This can make your cat happy and more likely to seek you out when he wants attention. For example, if it's close to your cat's mealtime and he starts to meow, you can say “Are you hungry, Sam?” and carry on the conversation as long as he continues to meow. Cats are naturally energetic and require enrichment through play to stay happy and healthy. Playing with your cat and providing him with toys to stimulate him can help him stay happy and get him to like you more.  Give your cat a variety of toys including ones that he can throw himself, ones that require your interaction, and others that give him the opportunity to “hunt.” Most pet stores will offer different types of toys to stimulate your cat. When using toys that require interaction with you, such as wiggling or dangling options, talk to your cat and offer him pats for playing well. Give your cat other opportunities to play, too. Place paper bags without the handles or boxes around the house, which will allow him to explore and investigate. Create a “cat tree” near a window that allows your cat to watch birds, squirrels and other small animals.
