Pets Q&A: Why Do Cats Go To People Who Don't Like Them?

Q.

Okay, why do cats always go to the one person in the room who doesn't like cats?

A.

Ha! Robert is deathly allergic to cats, so he took an interest in thisone. It turns out that when a cat enters a room full of people staring at him, he gets extremely nervous. Then he notices the one person who is ignoring him-the person who doesn't like cats for whatever reason. The cat goes to that person as a safe haven from the people who are fawning over him. So if you want Schmoopy to shoo, stare right at him.
