![]() It’s all about a slow, steady process, but it’s actually very easy to turn your cat into a more cuddly version of herself. Yes, you absolutely can teach your cat to like being pet more. When you make a move toward a cat, it’s 100% going to dart away if it thinks whatever’s coming out of you next is something it’s not going to enjoy. Your cat is likely running away from you because it’s not a fan of being pet, picked up, or whatever else it thinks you might “do to it” once you actually get close. You might not like the answer, but I’m sure you already understand on some level why your cat flees every time you come near or even enter a room. What’s it an indication of? You’ve got some training to do! And it’s actually a lot easier than you think! Let’s start at the beginning… ![]() That being said, contrary to how a flighty cat might make you feel, this all-too-common feline behaviour is no indication your cat hates or even dislikes you. If every time you head toward her, she flees.Ĭats are fickle creatures, and while there’s no doubt we humans love ’em to bits, it can feel more than a little hurtful when our very own resident furries give us the cold shoulder. The situation’s a little different if your cat or kitten keeps running away from you – consistently. In cases like these, pick up an exercise toy like the Cat Dancer Cat Charmer and get to work – your feline overlord has some business she needs you to take care of. Kong Kitten Kickeroo Catnip Kick Toy – Amazon / Chewy Now, if it’s your cat in question, and she only does this sometimes – especially if she is touching, tapping, or even whacking you with her paw right before scurrying off, you’re probably experiencing a harmless “catch me if you can” dare: a bait to try to get you to play. Press on.Ever headed toward a cat, had her take one look at you, then watched her hurl herself running in the opposite direction? You’re really not alone. Thankful for what God has YOU doing in the corner of the world He has you in. Let’s lean into Him in EACH of those moments – sensing His presence and being His presence to the people surrounding those wonderful moments. The great Doc Brown in one of my all-time favorite movies Back to the Future told Marty McFly – “Your future is whatever you make it – so make it a good one.”Īmidst our challenges, struggles, hardships – let’s all pause and be amazed that God has given us breath (that alone is amazing)!īe amazed by the moments and environments He puts us in – even the really hard ones. What’s keeping you from doing that? Don’t allow the enemy of busy-ness, “striving for more”, and keeping up with a group of people who don’t really care about how cute (or not cute) your new kitchen is – to rob you (or me) of investing our time in the things that are of eternal significance. YOU (and I) have people (family, co-workers, neighbors, distant relatives) whose lives would literally change if YOU (and I) invested our time into them. Whether your moments remaining in this life are many or few, seize each of them and make the most of them. Enjoy the moments that you have been entrusted with.

And where do we live? Well, we all have the same address. And where does that process take place? It takes place where you and I live everyday. Personal heart-and-life change is always a process. The fact of the matter is that the transforming work of grace is more of a mundane process than it is a series of a few dramatic events. Pastor and Author Paul Tripp writes this: Healthy people also realize that life is made of thousands upon thousands of little but very important moments. They acknowledge that they are human beings, with human limitations, and thus they MUST make choices with their TIME. One of those things is the value and importance of the “little” moments and my use of time. There are a few things I need to be reminded of at least once a week. JUST STOP FOR ONE MINUTE IN YOUR BUSY-NESS AND READ THESE WORDS:īe very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
