Massage can create a positive relationship between a person and a cat, as well as calm and relax her stiff joints. It can also relieve stress for both the cat and the owner.

Steps

1. 1 Begin gawking the cat on the back, moving from the base of the neck to the beginning of the tail. This should draw the cat's attention to you.
2. 2 Slowly and lightly scratch the back of the cat's neck several times, then scratch behind each ear, 2-3 times.
3. 3 Stroke the top of the cat's head with one finger, then slide your finger down the cat's neck. If you do everything right, he will have to lift his head up.
4. 4 When your pet lifts his chin up, gently scratch it 4-5 times, then rise higher, massaging the sides of the head where the mustache grows and scratch each side twice.
5. 5 Scratch the back of the pet's neck again, but now move along the entire back and tail 3-4 times (scratch the back of the head each time).
6. 6 If your cat is lying on its side, do not scratch its belly, otherwise the massage will not be soothing and will make it playful.

Tips

• If your cat doesn't like being petted, you can simply scratch the top of the back instead.
• Whether you want your cat to be friendly or to follow you around, massage is a great way to calm your pet. If you leave after that, most likely, the pet will constantly follow you.
• Your cat will only enjoy the massage when she is in good mood and healthy.

Warnings

• Always do it carefully!
• Some cats don't like massage. Do not massage your cat if it resists touching and / or has had surgery or trauma that requires rest to heal.
• There is no need to massage the legs, chest and abdomen, as some cats will feel threatened instead of being comfortable.
