Your comment is bad and you should feel bad!
Yeah, I’ve got two cats of my own. One of which was a stray.
If it helps, the elderly cat in my lap, who has liked me pretty much all her life, disagrees with him.
The secret isn’t to be mean, it’s more like the way you’d befriend an introverted street-orphan who doesn’t speak the local language; If you just grab their arm, all but the calmest will knee you in the crotch and run away. You’ve gotta let them get comfortable with your presence, then earn their trust.
And don’t expect them to show gratitude just for feeding them; They were clever enough to get you to feed them, and unlike the actual street-orphans (and to be clear, I mean the fictional kind, which may or may not be similar to the real kind) they don’t even have to give you some sob-story crafted for maximum sympathy.
They’ll take your food as a just reward for their cleverness, and if you want any company in exchange you have to get them to value your company - whether your presence offers safety, or they like being pet, or whatever, just there needs to be some benefit to them.
Introverts don’t, as a general rule, do social stuff without a benefit.
I actually don’t know what to feel after reading that….
Well, yeah :P We’ve got a decent-sized tag for ponies acting like cats.
Heck, we’ve got an artist that’s practically dedicated to it too :P
Also, apparently Big Buff Cheeto Puff is in town.
