Petting a cat refers to the act of stroking and grooming a cat, a way for cat owners to express their love for their feline companion and relieve the fatigue of the day. It is a popular hobby among modern people. The process of petting a cat is very pleasant; the soft fur is intoxicating to the touch, and the purring sound a cat makes when it is comfortable has a therapeutic effect. 
What is the correct way to pet a cat?
When petting a cat, you can stroke its head. There's a Baihui acupoint on the top of a cat's head; stroking this area will make the cat feel very comfortable. The base of its ears and chin are also favorites. You can also stroke the back of its back, near the tail, where there's another Baihui acupoint. Try to avoid petting the cat's belly and hind legs, as the belly is a sensitive area that cats dislike.
