Introducing Yourself to a Cat for the First Time: (The
Cat Handshake)
At first you
present yourself in a completely non-threatening way to the cat, which is by
scent. Then you give them a gift that smells like you – can be the ear piece of
your glasses or a pen and then the last thing you do is shake hands. Take a
finger, let the cat sniff it like he did the glasses or pen, and bring your finger
toward the spot between and just above the eyes. Let him meet your finger with
his head and push against it until you’ve made a fluid move from the bridge of
his nose up to between the ears. It’s a mutual gesture, like a handshake or an
embrace. There: you’re no longer strangers. (Jackson Galazy from “My Cat from Hell” television show – Modern Cat: Spring/Summer
2014) )
