There are several reasons why your cat may be ignoring you. Here are some possible explanations and suggestions:
1. Personality Differences
Some cats are naturally more independent and less dependent on humans.
Observe your cat's behavior and respect his space.
2. Emotional state
Cats may feel nervous or uneasy, especially in new environments or with new smells.
Give it some time to adjust and don't force contact.
3. Interaction
Try using a toy to attract your cat's attention, such as a feather stick or a small ball.
Try calling your cat in a low voice and luring it toward you with food or treats.
4. Health status
If your cat suddenly becomes apathetic, it may be unwell and it is recommended to take it to a veterinarian for a check-up.
5. Build trust
Allow the cat to approach you first, and avoid petting or hugging it too aggressively.
Spend some time each day sitting near it to get it used to your presence.
Giving your cat some time and space, slowly building trust, will usually improve the relationship between you!
