Socializing your cat is very important for his well-being. Unfortunately, most of us get distracted with other things and forget about our cats when they are not around people.
If you want your cat to come to you, he must first be comfortable being close to others. This can be tricky at times!
There are several strategies that you can use to get your cat to approach or even interact with other animals. A lot of these tips work more effectively if done consistently over time, so it’s best to start from here.
Making sure your house is safe and free of food isn’t quite as urgent, but still important. Once you have made every effort to help your kitty find her/his supply of nourishment,
then you can focus on getting them to meet others.
This article will go into detail on some easy ways to get your cat to like other creatures.
Feed them
If you are trying to get your cat to visit another person, then it must be hungry! Whether your friend is more likely to see your cat if she knows that you fed her,
or if she feels comfortable coming to you because you gave her food, either one can help make comes visits easier.
If possible, have your friends bring some of their leftovers so that your cat doesn’t feel like she is being invited onto a hunger strike.

It’s also important to remember that most cats need at least two cups (0-8oz) of dry food per day to survive. Many owners forget this due to how busy they can become with their schedules, but for a solitary animal, a little extra nutrition never hurts.
Try giving your cat an hour to eat all the leftover food before asking her to meet someone else. That way, she has time to digest what she had and she isn’t feeling too rushed when she meets new people.
Let them use a favorite place
One of the best ways to get your cat to visit you is to give her access to a familiar area or place where she feels comfortable. This can be in the form of an outdoor run, a bed that she uses every day, or even around the house.
If possible, try leaving this thing for one night so that she can see it under different circumstances.
Use a scented item
You can do this by rubbing her favorite item all over each other or having her lie down and putting it somewhere she loves to spend time like under the bed or next to the door.
The more common items that most cats love are blankets, towels, sheets, pillows, stuffed toys, and dried food. Changing their environment so they feel comfortable will promote interaction!
Some tips: be careful not to use too many strong smells, especially for the first time. The smell may scare her away even more.
Speak to them in their language
Many people assume that if you greet your cat and call it, then it will come when you ask it to do something. But this isn’t always the case!
Some cats are very sensitive and can get distracted or feel overwhelmed by all the other sounds around them.
Use its natural voice, meow, whistle, purr, growl – whatever kind of sound seems familiar to it.
You could say “Come here, kitty” or “Let’s play”. But the more interesting option is to talk about what things your cat likes and doesn’t like.
Does it seem friendly with certain dogs? If so, invite one over for a period and see if it works. Does it like vegetables? Ask it to help yourself to some fresh meat and fish as well.
Try to get them to exercise

One of the biggest reasons why your cat is staying at home is because she doesn’t want to go for a walk or take up space in the bedroom anymore.
If you can’t motivate your cat to move her body, then there isn’t much you can do except wait until she comes around on her own.
You could also try talking to her about it but unless you make some changes, she will never come back into walking mode. So if you wanted to see more activity-tracking devices on the market, this might be an opportunity to create one!
There are many ways to get your cat to explore new areas, especially outside. You may have to work harder than we thought so don’t give up hope yet!
Finding out what makes your kitty restless, figuring out how to reduce those things, and then doing one of these exercises every day is a great way to get her moving.
Make a cat bed
If you want your kitty to come sleep next to you, then they need to be comfortable when he/she chooses to.
Most cats love soft things to lay on so getting them a nice warm place to relax is the perfect way to win over that special snuggling session.
You can make this easy or difficult depending on what kind of material you use and how big your cat is.
Advertise your cat show
If you are having trouble getting your kitty to come when you call, try advertising! Many people advertise their cats by putting up pictures or videos of them on social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, as well as making fliers for upcoming events such as house-training days or visits from the vet.
By creating an advertisement about your cat, they may get inspired enough to promote themselves!
This is very helpful since it creates a lot of exposure, which could help find your missing feline friend a new home.
There are many ways to do this so don’t feel that it is too expensive! You can create your ads or look at examples online or in magazines.
Donate to cat shelters
Even though it may seem like your cat has all the food and love it could ever want, that is not the case for most cats in need.
Most animal shelters have limited resources. So they must turn down many potential new homes for animals. This is particularly true for shelters that seek out adoptive families.
Shelters can’t afford to advertise their services, so they rely heavily on community donations to survive. Many people are willing to donate money or time to help save abandoned or homeless pets, but few are willing to take on an extra pet.
That isn’t fair to the shelter, nor you, as a caring individual who wants to give a home to a deserving furry friend! By donating to shelters, you will be helping them fulfill their mission of finding loving homes for needy felines.
You can also contribute by taking one of our donation service dogs to work or school or volunteering at a local animal shelter or nonprofit organization.
