Exotic Shorthair Cat

　　1. If it is a lonely old cat, consider adding a kitten to keep it company. Because an old cat and a young cat are more likely to accept each other, but note that the kitten should be brought home by someone the old cat does not know. The presence of this person is intended to prevent the old cat from associating you with the kitten and becoming jealous.

　　2. If the old cat is hostile to the kitten, try calling the kitten "the old cat’s kitten," as this can create a positive connection between them. Also, when talking to the kitten, speak to the old cat at the same time to engage it and foster normal contact with the kitten, thereby cultivating their relationship.

　　3. If the cat is particularly nervous around someone, try saying that person is the cat’s person, such as "This is Lily’s cat, she is Lily’s kitten." This links them together and can dispel the cat’s nervousness and anxiety toward that person, but repeated practice is necessary.

　　4. Cats are very sensitive to their owners’ emotions. As the owner, you should engage in stress-reducing exercises and activities to help both you and your cat relax.

　　5. Some owners visit pet hospitals to use sedatives to control their cat’s emotions, but simply trying sedatives is a symptomatic treatment; effective help requires rebuilding the cat’s behavior combined with sedatives to reduce triggers for aggressive behavior.

　　6. Music also relaxes cats and can reduce aggressive behavior. Therefore, you can play your music along with soft background music, which also has a calming effect on cats.

　　7. When cats feel nervous, they naturally attack their enemies with their claws, so you should regularly trim your cat’s nails. When trimming, it is best to have another person hold the cat to distract its attention.
