How can I get a cat to not be afraid of me?

To make a cat not afraid of you, start from these angles. First, learn a cat’s habits and preferences, respect its personality, and don’t interfere too much or force it to do things it dislikes. Second, don’t rush to approach a cat on first meeting; keep some distance and speak to it in a gentle voice, then slowly move closer if it shows no sign of fleeing. After that, you can gently stroke its head, back, and chin, watching its reaction—stop at once if it looks impatient. Finally, try offering it a little food or playing with it using a teaser wand, gradually helping it let down its guard.
