The Cat Massage III

Keeping up with regular petting and massaging can help discover these issues early and diagnosis followed with treatment has greater chances of success.

It is not uncommon for a cat to approach for some form of contact and understanding the behavioural patterns of a cat will help determine their preferential means of interaction. The most common areas will include around the ears, head, neck and other areas that they will expose to their loving owner. Massaging a cat means that a state of readiness is achieved, a cat may not always wish to be handled and it is best to approach when it is in a state of relaxation or approaches in a calm manner. If a cat dodges the attempt of a massage session then this may mean it is not ready to be handled and further pursuit should be avoided. Reassuring the cat and encouraging it over time is the best solution while maintaining a peaceful and gentle demeanour.
