  Most cats generally seem solitary, and except for active interaction with their owners, they rarely come into contact with the outside world. Although most cats behave this way, exercising and improving their "social ability" is also helpful to the cats themselves. Generally, cats aged between 2-7 weeks are in their sensitive social period, and formal social training can begin at this time.

  When the cat is only 2 weeks old, the owner should closely observe it and provide more care and affection. The owner can approach the kitten daily and gently stroke the cat several times a day, allowing the cat to become familiar with the owner's concern. This strengthens the bond and also helps the cat to get used to people and things outside. If possible, friends can be invited to pet the cat, enabling it to have more exposure to outside people and eliminating its inner fear and panic.

  During interaction with the cat, the owner should not be overly proactive. You can softly talk to the cat while it is eating so it understands your goodwill. But do not rush to pet it, nor make loud noises or sudden movements that might scare the cat. Patience and a gentle attitude are required when interacting with the cat to win its favor and trust.

  When training a cat's "social ability," owners should also teach according to the material, adopting different training methods for cats with different personalities and living habits. At the same time, the training must be patient, careful, and scientific. After understanding the personality characteristics of different cat breeds, daily activities and training content should be arranged purposefully to eliminate the cat's fear of the outside world and thus improve its "social ability."(Source:PetsZone)
