Methods to improve cats' "social ability" start with social training! Many cats we see are relatively withdrawn. Most of them are alone and rarely contact the outside world. Therefore, the owner must exercise and improve the cat's "social ability" when it is young. Generally speaking, when a cat is 2 to 7 weeks old, it is a sensitive period for its social interaction, and at this time it can start formal social training.

When the cat is still 2 weeks old, the owner should pay close attention to it and give it more care and caress. The owner can approach the kitten every day and gently caress the cat several times a day to make the cat familiar with the owner's care. Enhance each other's feelings, while also making cats familiar with people and things outside. If possible, you can also invite your friends to touch the cat, so that the cat can contact more people from the outside world and eliminate their inner fear and panic.

When you are in contact with the cat, the owner should not be too proactive. You can talk to it softly while it is eating to let the cat understand your kindness. But don't rush to touch it, don't make noises, or move too hard to scare the cat. When you come into contact with cats, you must be patient and gentle, so as to win the cat's favor and trust.

When training cats' "social ability", the owner should also teach according to their aptitude and adopt different training methods for cats with different personalities and living habits. At the same time, when training, you must train patiently, carefully and scientifically. After understanding the personality characteristics of different breeds of cats, arrange daily activities and training content in a targeted manner to eliminate cats' fear of the outside world and thus improve their "social ability".
