6. Spend Quiet Time Together
Sometimes, your presence alone is enough. Quiet companionship allows your cat to feel safe and gradually associate you with comfort.
- Sit near them: While reading, working, or watching TV, let your cat relax nearby.
- Soft voice and gentle movements: Talking softly or humming can enhance their sense of security.
- Observe comfort cues: If they stretch out or approach, reward with gentle pets or treats.
Quiet bonding reinforces the idea that being near you is safe and enjoyable, paving the way for voluntary cuddles.
