The 6 Levels of Cat Trust — Most Owners Never Reach Level 5

🐾 Want a longer, healthier life for your cat — and to support the channel while you're at it? My complete owner's manual is here: https://stevecooperpets.com/ Your cat sits on the far arm of the couch with its back to you, but both ears are locked on you. That isn't rejection. It's the first rung of a trust ladder that most owners never finish climbing. In this video, Steve Cooper walks you through the 6 levels of cat trust. They start with the cat that watches you from across the room and end with the cat that grooms your hair like you're family. You'll learn what the slow blink really means and why your cat rubs against your legs the moment you walk through the door. You'll also see why a cat showing you its belly isn't asking for a belly rub. Most owners get stuck just below level 5 because of one loving habit almost all of us have. Steve explains what it is and what to do instead when your cat finally falls asleep on you. He also covers what trust looks like if your cat simply isn't a lap cat. Along the way, he gives honest answers on popular cat myths, like the idea that purring heals bones. He also points out the sudden changes in behavior that mean it's time for a vet visit, not time to worry that your cat has stopped trusting you.
