What should I pay attention to when my new cat arrives home?
The above are some things to note when a new cat arrives at home. Now I'll talk about some points to keep in mind when interacting with a cat:
First, you should befriend your cat. When you first meet a cat, don't rush into being friendly; let it get to know you gradually. The best time to approach a cat is when it's eating. You can speak softly to it, but don't pet it at first. Approach it only when it seems relaxed, and let it know you like it. Don't shout or startle the cat with sudden actions. As the cat becomes more familiar with you, give it some affection, but don't overdo it at first. With patience and a gentle attitude, the cat will develop a fondness for you and form a bond. 
Secondly, understanding a cat's personality is crucial. After grasping its general habits, it's essential to understand its individual personality. This is beneficial for building and strengthening the bond between you and your cat. Every cat has a different personality. Some cats are active, while others are more sedentary. Some enjoy being close to their owners and being affectionate, while others dislike excessive cuddling. Some cats prefer ball-shaped toys, while others are more interested in bird-shaped toys. Knowing your cat's personality allows you to take targeted measures to enhance your relationship!
Third, don't punish your cat frequently. Unlike other animals, punishment doesn't work on cats. So when your cat dislikes something, let it know you don't want it to do it, and don't hit or scold it. Otherwise, the cat will think its owner doesn't like it, feel unloved at home, and might even run away. Generally, after living with their owners for a while, cats of a certain age will know what is permissible and what is not.
Fourth, hold a cat correctly. Holding a cat is a very common thing, but if you're not careful, you could get scratched or injured, or even cause permanent disability to the cat. Before holding a cat, get to know it by gently patting its head or back. Depending on the cat's size and weight, you can use one or two hands to hold it. Never grab its ears, pull its tail, or grab its limbs. Grabbing its ears can easily break its ear bones, causing serious injury. Grabbing its limbs can easily lead to being bitten. A cat's tail is very sensitive; pulling or stepping on its tail can easily provoke an attack.
