Purrsuasion is more than just cat tips, it's here to help you navigate the hard stuff. I work with cat guardians to bring more harmony and connection into their homes. Through tailored behaviour support and a bond-based approach, I help you and your cat thrive together.
One of the most powerful ways to love your cat? Listen when they say “No.” Cats communicate their boundaries just like we do, through body language and behavior. Whether it’s a tail flick, a growl, or simply turning away, these signals matter. Respecting those “no thanks” moments builds trust, deepens your bond, and helps your cat feel truly safe with you.
Why is peaceful coexistence so tricky for some cats? Cats often share spaces they wouldn’t choose, compete for limited resources, and lack proper mental stimulation. Personality mismatches, missed stress signals, and unrealistic expectations also add to the tension. So, how can we help? Giving cats their own space, providing enough resources, adding enrichment, considering personalities, and watching for stress are key steps. Understanding our cats better helps create a calmer, happier home for everyone.
It’s okay for your cat to say “no thank you”. It’s up to you as their guardian to learn what their “no” cues are and respect them. Some “no thank you’s” are walking away, tail swishing, lip licking, growling, or a gentle bite in your direction.
