(OC) A wild encounter on your travels, a rouge cat approaches. Do you pet it?PunnyBaker t1_iu72iae wrote
I stick my hand out and let it sniff me before I try to pet

As is how one is supposed to do before petting a cat!

I did that once with a kitten.
It then rubbed its head and body against my hand while purring. So I scratched its back gently.
And then it started biting my hand hard. When I pulled my hand away, it went after my ankle to bite it. :(
Cue me running away from the kitten in panic while it chased me.

That sounds both totally expected by a cat and also a hilarious visual frantically running away from a pursuing kitten lol
Just because a cat lets you pet it, it doesn't mean it won't also attack you lol

It wanted pets only on its terms.

Yep--give the cat the choice of whether to engage.
