When a cat scratches during petting, it’s not always aggression. Sometimes it’s confusion. In Neko’s case (a once-feral kitten now learning the good life), he’s still figuring out what hands mean. Hands can look like toys to a cat who’s never had gentle touch before. So instead of forcing affection (no burrito cats, please 😅), teach him that hands = good things, like food, treats, and soft pets if he chooses. Huge shoutout to Tristan from Belgium for giving Neko a chance to feel safe and loved!
