“Research has shown that when people interact with their cats, the interactions tend to go on for longer if they’re started by the cat — many cats seem to need to go through the tail-up/rub ritual in order to feel comfortable, and may not have time to do it if it’s the person who makes the first move. So the advice would be, take your time when approaching your cat, and wait for it to at least put its tail up before making actual contact"
