How to bond with your cat
Learn cat body language.
In order to bond with your cat, you need to be able to read her emotions. The first step is learning the basics of cat body language.
A confident cat moves with eyes wide, back slightly arched, head forward, and tail upright. If you notice your cat walking in this way, she's likely in a good mood and now would be a good time to interact with her.
