You wanted in the SEC, now you got it. Sometimes it is not good to get what you wish for.

Mornin'
Most cats enjoy being noticed. Others like attention in the form of games or toys, while some prefer it in the form of nourishment or rewards. Typically, many cats prefer being petted, scratched, and stroked by people. These kinds of touches can calm and soothe you as well as your cat. According to studies, touching an animal can help people feel less stressed. Some cats might not like being petted, or they could just require more time and consideration to figure out what makes them feel at ease. This is particularly valid for cats that may not have had adequate socialization as kittens or for cats that have been adopted as adults but whose past is unknown. In light of these subtleties, let's examine the specifics of caressing your kitty friend.
How Should A Cat Be Cared For?
Even though it might seem obvious, you shouldn't just approach a cat and begin touching it without first making an assessment of the situation. Start slowly when petting a cat and observe the animal's response.
1: Before petting a cat that isn't yours, confirm with the owner that it's okay. Cats frequently react to unfamiliar people with mistrust and aggression.
2: Inquire with the owner whether the cat has any painful or sensitive spots you should stay away from. Find out if the cat had any preferred methods of petting.
3: Permit the cat to come up to you first. You can miss the chance to win their trust if you chase the cat.
4: Slowly extend your hand in a calm manner, but keep it away from the cat's face.
5: Permit the cat to "explore" you by sniffing your hand. The cat might scratch your legs or hands.
6: Start by softly petting the cat's sides of the face.
7: Follow the cat's lead. They might apply greater pressure when they rub against you and perhaps try to steer your hand to different parts of their body.
8: If you see the cat tensing up or hear any high-pitched meows, hisses, or growls, stop caressing them.
Where is a cat's sweet spot?
Once you've gotten to know the cat, you might want to attempt caressing them in additional places. Many cats like being petted by reliable individuals in the following situations:
1: The top of the head.
2: The neck, and under the jaw.
3: Around the body's sides
4: On the upper arms
5: Moving towards the tail across the back
The cat may start to purr, knead, and possibly drool if it is enjoying being pet. Be mindful that touching in a few of these places can cause a cat to feel nice one second before making them feel exposed or stressed the next. While being petted, some cats may abruptly meow, hiss, growl, scratch, or bite. Overstimulated aggression, or petting-induced hostility, is what this is.
The cat may roll onto its side and show its belly when it wants some affection. This could be a sign of the cat's comfort and ease. Usually, they don't mean for you to touch their tummy. Some cats, meanwhile, actually like having their bellies scratched. You could try petting your cat there if it's yours, but exercise caution. Some cats like to gently scratch you, especially if your fingernails are long. You should start this action cautiously and monitor the cat's reaction.
Where shouldn't a cat be rubbed?
There are several places where you shouldn't pet cats because, in general, cats may not enjoy it. The following areas of a cat should not be petted:
Belly, legs, feet, at the tail's base, and the actual tail. Many cats, of course, prefer having their spots stroked or handled, but it's always better to start out slowly with a new cat or pay attention to its body language to ensure that you are able to determine which region of their bodies your cat enjoys having stroked or touched the most.
A Cat That Is Unwilling to Be Petted
Different signals are used by cats to communicate with people. When you understand what to look for, you might be able to tell that a cat wants people to stop caressing it. If a cat exhibits any of the following behaviors, avoid attempting to pet them:
1: Taking a step backwards or away with your hand.
2: Rounded ears.
3: Hooded eyes.
4: A tail that's rigid and raised high, swishes, or is stuffed with fur.
5: Vocalization such as hissing, sobbing, squealing, and growling
6: Leaving quickly
7: Disguise
Simply let the cat alone if you see any of these actions. When things have calmed down, they might contact you

Good morning y’all !
Mornin' y'all!
Bit sticky out this morning, found the diff lock left engaged on the Gator and the air compressor on with the blower nozzle attached. Going to start locking my shop if they can't follow simple rules! And get off my lawn!
