most cats i meet are just chill dogs who require a polite greeting before loving you
"oh, a random human? hm yes okay you're nice, oh you want to pick me up? PURRRRRRR"
And a polite greeting is pretty simple. I just offer my hand limp and palm down for a sniff. If you get a nuzzle then it's petting time, baby.
blessed be the jackson galaxy, teaching us to greet cats like adam greeted god
Huh, I actually didn't know this was a thing, I just noticed that it works.
