What to do when your cat runs away when you approach

** Cats running away from their owners** is often due to a lack of intimacy in their relationship with their owners, especially when they have just moved to a new home. Therefore, at this moment, the owner needs to find ways to establish trust with the cat, such as spending more time playing and interacting with the cat, using treats or toys to lure the cat, and so on. Additionally, if the owner has ever beaten or scolded the cat in the past, the cat will also be afraid to approach them. Therefore, the owner should also be cautious when disciplining the cat in daily life to avoid the cat holding a grudge.

Spend more time playing and interacting with your cat

If the cat is new to your home, it will be unfamiliar with both the new environment and you, which can cause it to be tense and scared, hence avoiding you. In this case, you need to spend more time playing with the cat and gently stroking it daily to allow the cat to become familiar with you and reduce its fear.

Use treats or toys to lure the cat

Cats are naturally mischievous and love to eat. You can prepare some treats and toys that your cat loves to slowly build trust between you and the cat. Over time, the cat will become closer to you.

Don't hit or scold your cat

If you have ever hit or harshly scolded your cat in the past, it may develop a psychological shadow and be afraid to approach you. Therefore, when the cat makes a mistake, never hit it or harshly scold it to avoid the cat holding a grudge. Only by treating the cat gently can it gradually become closer to you.
