2. Happens to me all the time!

I am allergic. I don’t dislike them but I pay them no attn if I have to be near one. They know I do not want them near me. Still. Legs if I stand and lap if I sit... 🙄

3. The reason they focus on you is that you are *not* looking at them.

Cats consider direct eye contact from a stranger to be aggressive. If you're not paying attention they are more likely to regard you as harmless and therefore might approach you. If you don't want an unfamiliar cat to come to you, stare at it.

5. But some cats are curious or just kind of perverse, so it might not always work.

6. Remember when

George bush tried to have a cat? It didn't work,the cat refused to be held by him and there were photos of the cat clawing the shit out of him to get away.

Good kitty..

I think if dump attempted to have a cat the cat would be desperate to get away from him. Some people are too toxic to tolerate. Cats know.

10. She seems to be particularly spooked...

...by the cat's eyes. Watch the way she turns her head away and averts her gaze each time she makes even brief eye contact with the cat.
