Whatever your reason for wanting to imitate cat behavior, perhaps practicing for a skit or simply liking cat behavior, there are several ways you can do this. All cats are different, but many behave the same way. Unlike dogs, cats are not fussy and haughty, but affectionate and love to be pampered.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Doing Cat Activities
Step 1. Get plenty of sleep, including naps
Cats usually sleep anywhere and anytime. To act like a cat, make sure you get a good night's sleep as well as naps during the day. Naps only need 15 to 20 minutes so you can sleep several times in a day. If you can't take a nap, try taking a break in the morning.
- Choose a comfortable, warm spot with sunshine for a nap.
- Roll up on a comfortable pad or pile of clean clothes in a ball or fetal position. Cats protect the stomach when sleeping because the stomach is a vulnerable point.
Step 2. Do yoga to stretch the muscles
After waking up from a satisfying nap or a long night's sleep, stretch. Like a cat, stretch all the muscles and wake up without rushing. Try the sun salute yoga as it is very beneficial and poses like a cat. Yawn to stretch your facial muscles and resemble a waking cat.
Step 3. Wash your body often
Cats clean themselves by licking and scratching their faces to remove food debris, odors, and dander. Take a shower at least once a day to rid yourself of dirt and excess oil. Don't forget to check your appearance in the mirror and clean again after eating.
- Some pet cats have their nails trimmed, but if you want to look like a cat, lengthen the nails and trim them in a pointed shape.
- Brush your hair so it doesn't fall out and tangle.
Step 4. Enjoy playing time outside
Try watching birds, practice climbing trees, and exploring the outdoors. An active lifestyle will keep you healthy and in keeping with the adventurous nature of cats. When tired, sleep in the warmth of the sun.
- Cats love to be entertained and with other cats. So, spend some time playing and hanging out with other people.
- Hunting is an activity that also fits the cat's mindset. Domestic cats also enjoy hunting and chasing toys.
Method 2 of 3: Communicate like a Cat
Step 1. Use body language to communicate feelings, not words
Without saying anything, you can convey your mood, just like a cat. Turn around and go if you're bored or tired. Sit near someone you like and close your eyes when they smile to show that you are content and happy.
- You don't need a tail and ears like a cat, but you can still use your face to express emotions to other people without having to speak.
- Or you can walk back and forth when you can't wait for dinner to be prepared, or walk away if you don't want to be touched or cuddled.
Step 2. Try different tones
Speak in a cheerful tone when happy and satisfied, and growl when angry. You don't have to meow like a cat, but you can imitate the sound. For example, a cat squeaks and meows at something it enjoys. So you can make a cheerful, high-pitched sound when you see someone or something you like.
- To show disapproval, you can hiss when threatened or disturbed.
- If you want to be able to talk to a cat, imitate the meow and its voice as best you can. Listen and imitate his way of communicating.
Step 3. Have a distinctive aroma
Cats communicate with pheromones that have no effect on humans, but can lure the opposite sex and warn other cats to stay away. Choose a perfume or fragrance that smells good so other people want to be close to you.
If you want to keep someone away, try cooking with garlic and onions, or handle smelly materials and don't wash your hands
Step 4. Blink slowly to show you like someone
Usually, people think cats are staring at them, but actually they are saying they like them. Blink slowly several times to show affection. This is especially effective when you're meeting new people and want to convey that you want to be friends.
- Some people don't understand it and think you're wide-eyed.
- Consider blinking slowly to make it less intimidating.
Step 5. Dismiss people who annoy you as a warning
If you need to fight or fight, hold yourself back and don't attack physically. Instead, brush off the person's hand to warn you that you could be more violent. Cats will brush off or hit other cats, dogs, and humans at the start of a fight and sometimes with a smack, fights can be avoided.
- The warning margins don't need to be hard, but they are firm and fast enough to make people understand.
- In the event of a fight, the cat will bite and scratch its opponent. Be careful and consider the consequences of this method in real fights with other people.
Method 3 of 3: Act like a cat around other people
Step 1. Be aware of your surroundings
Cats have very sensitive senses of hearing and smell, so they are always aware of the world around them. Pay attention to what is happening around you when you are doing nothing or doing something. Keeping yourself safe and practicing observing like a cat certainly has nothing to lose.
- Another way to imitate a cat is to react erratically and jump when startled.
- If you hear a strange sound or smell a fishy smell, find out. Cats are always curious and so should you.
Step 2. Show shyness to strangers, but warm and friendly when you do
In general, cats are very careful and sometimes arrogant at first. Do not immediately befriend anyone at the first meeting, such behavior is more like a dog. Make others earn your trust and friendship. In this way, you will have valuable friendships that will last a lifetime.
Step 3. Ignore people, then ask for their attention when you want it
Decide how long you want to be with the other person. Cats don't always like attention and you should too. Stay away from other people if you need some alone time. You can join again when you are ready.
- State the need for personal time and space. If you need to be alone, don't let other people interfere. When bored with attention, cats express it by hissing or growling.
- A lot of chatter indicates that you want to socialize, and not talking warns that you're tired, just like a cat.
Step 4. Bow your head gently at the person you like
Once you are close to someone, you can show affection, especially physically. Cats love to massage people with their hands and rub their heads to mark territory. You can massage the back of your hand or gently head your partner's head to show your love.
Do it only to close people because others may not understand what you are doing
Step 5. Bring gifts to other people
You don't have to trap mice and bugs and then place them on a friend's door, but cats do show affection by giving them gifts and fresh game. For a reward, a dead mouse is equivalent to a small accessory.
Cats also hunt and provide prey to their owners. You can take care of other people you like by providing food, such as cooking or sharing lunch
Step 6. Try being a little naughty
Make a little mess by dropping things off the table, sitting on someone's lap working on something, or making noise and scratching at cupboards and doors. Cats are adorable, but sometimes they get in the way and get in the way. You can stand or do something in front of the television when someone wants to watch it.
Don't be too annoying. If someone close to you asks you to stop, respect them and reduce the cat's behavior for a while
Tips
- Observe cats to learn about their behavior and movements. If you don't have a pet cat, take the time to go to a friend's house who has one.
- Watch movies like Catwoman or the musical Cats to see how humans imitate a cat's agility, movement, and body language.
- If you can get into a small room, hide there. When you're bored, get out by walking or crawling as if nothing happened. Provide a place in the house to hide. Try to find and climb the big cardboard boxes.
- Move quietly and swiftly, and blink slowly when you're happy, and try to accompany the snoring.
- When tired, curl up like a ball in a comfortable place.
- Cats are very flexible. Consider practicing yoga or pilates to work on flexibility.
