Some cats are obedient and get along very well with their owners, but some cats are not good-tempered. When a cat gets angry, its sharp claws may hurt us. Therefore, training a cat's temperament and making the cat like you are the most basic conditions for getting along with a cat.

What to do if your cat has a bad temper? How to make your cat like you?

1. What to do if your cat has a bad temper?

When your cat has a bad temper, you might want to find it a feline companion so that it can have someone to play with when it's bored or angry, allowing it to temporarily forget its unhappiness and calm its bad temper.

To deal with a cat's bad temper, the first thing an owner should do is maintain a calm and peaceful attitude, creating a friendly impression on the cat. Alternatively, when the cat looks upset, try playing some soothing, gentle music for it to relax, reduce its aggression, calm its irritable heart, and help it calm down and stabilize its emotions, preventing it from treating other pets and its owner with anger.

A cat's bad temper is largely caused by emotional stimulation. In daily life, owners should try to avoid things that might affect their cat's mood, and when the cat is angry, avoid yelling or hitting it, as this can further agitate and upset it. When a cat is angry, owners should use gentle reprimands and soothing methods to relax the cat, making it feel safe and comfortable so it will stop being angry.

II. Methods to make your cat like you

1. Pick

As the saying goes, "pick the soft persimmon to squeeze," and the same applies to cats. Among these unique little creatures, there are some "soft persimmons" with excellent temperaments, especially certain artificially bred cat breeds. After being "tortured" by breeding experts for hundreds of years, they have developed a "masochistic tendency" in their bones. No matter how you "bully" them, even if you pick them up and "molest" them from head to toe, they will accept it all. Let alone a simple paw rub. The list of these "soft persimmons" includes Persian cats, Exotic Shorthairs, Ragdolls, Chinchillas, Scottish Folds, and some British Shorthairs (details).

2. Coax

People compare cats to women, or women to cats, which shows that they share many similarities. Therefore, as long as you make a cat happy, treat it to good food and water, and play with it, it will be most likely to relax its guard against you. When it's in a good mood, give it a full-body massage. When it's completely relaxed, it might not only let you touch its paws, but it might even actively grab your hand, asking you to give it a "foot massage."

Cats are just like children. They may not accept you for a short time, but over time, they will feel your care and attention and will definitely like you. Of course, this requires the owner's tolerance and persistence.
