    Yeah but that one time it comes over and you get to pet the cat gives you all the dopamine you need for an entire day

      I went psst psssst pssst to a cute cat in a garden I was passing, not noticing a woman walking towards me. She thought I was hissing at her, gave me such a LOOK. She was wearing hijab, I’m an old lady, who knows what was going through her head.

      No dopamine for me that day.

    If you want to entice a cat to come closer, don’t look at it! Direct eye contact is seen as threatening.

    Put out your hand, point your face away from the cat, and put your hand out while gently calling it over. Your success rate will be much higher!

    Also, a good cat-noise to attract them is a light trill with an upward inflection. It’s my go-to when assuring nervous/unsure cats.

      What. I was in the middle of something. What do you want? You know what? Nevermind, I’m just going to go back to what I was doing.

    Not possible. She is no random person as she is in fact the queen of thyme. Quit the BS, we all know what’s up.
