It looks like the cat thinks she gets something to eat. However, when I put my open hand at a more elevated height, most cats get scared and run away.

We've been working now for a few months with the closed-hand approach and WHAT a difference! She actually comes close and lets me touch her before tearing off. And she trusts me now to approach when she's ready to nap, instead of changing locations or hiding. Thank you from all of us.

I would need more information to help you get started on retraining; of both you and your cat. Feel free to use the contact tab at the top of the blog to tell me more.

I'm starting to think that maybe it doesn't make a difference if your nice to them or mean she acts the same always.

I don't make a fist, but I always hold my hand in a loose curled shape, or as close to a fist you can make without actually making one. And the cats react to that better. All the cats I meet, come to think about it, and even the dogs. This isn't the first time that WOC has explained something that I unconsciously already do! I also caught Byron just before he began peeing in the wrong place, and he stopped immediately. And his next stop was my lap, purring as he leapt up. I think you're right about him doing this because he wants attention. Well, at least until he does it again! Wow, you’re right!
