Cat-titude #3: Be Curious About New Inventions
Robot vacuums – a cat’s friend or foe? While some do shy away with suspicion, many others have made these robots their joyride. Cats love finding new things to entertain themselves with, such as random bits and bobs they can land their paws on.
The Lesson for Hoo-mans:
Embrace new opportunities. Conquer your fears and try out new tech to streamline your life and make things more convenient for you. Robot vacuums in the home, robotic process automation or chatbots at work, perhaps.
Cat-titude #4: Trust Needs To Be Built
When cats hide in cardboard boxes and avoid eye contact, they are seen to be awkward and aloof. Depending on the breed, cats may not open up immediately and need time to trust others. But when they do, you’ll be rewarded with cat massages, deep purrs and that famed “slow blink” of affection.
The Lesson for Hoo-mans:
Similarly, earning the trust of people takes time. In your interactions with others, through efforts such as being punctual for meetings, building rapport and being accountable to others, trust can be established more easily.
