Article: Avoid using vacuums, loud toys, or even brooms in the same room as a cat. Turn the volume of your music or TV to a reasonable level so the cat can get used to the common sounds of your home. While everything may sound like a lower volume to us, they are very loud to a cat’s sensitive ears. If you need to clean in the same room as a cat, just be mindful of the noises you’re making so you don’t frighten them. Sit still as the cat approaches you so it has a chance to get used to your scent and know that you will not harm it. Give the cat a chance to get used to you without attempting to handle it. You can either stand, sit, or lay down as a cat approaches you, but be sure not to make any sudden movements. Talk at a normal volume and avoid using baby talk or a high-pitched voice while addressing your cat. Loud noises will spook the cat, so avoid yelling while you’re around it. As you speak to your cat more, it will start to have a sense of security around you. Make slow and predictable movements so you don’t startle the cat. Start petting it on its back and slowly work towards scratching behind its ears. If your cat tenses up or raises its hair, stop petting it and let it calm down. As the cat gets used to you, give it a small treat as a reward. As it starts to grow closer to you, it will associate their good actions with one of their treats and continue to repeat them. Keep treats near you to attract the cat and associate you as a safe person. Don’t pet it as it eats or you may startle it.

What is a summary?
Don’t make loud noises in the same room as a cat. Allow the cat to come to you. Speak in a calm voice. Pet the cat slowly and watch its body language. Give the cat treats after good behavior.
