You may be surprised to learn that there is a
definite correct way to pet a cat. For all those who use cat petting
as a way of keeping focus while playing games like online blackjack,
this is important. You will only be able to reap the benefits of cat
petting if you pet the cat correctly. If you do it wrong, you will
not have better concentration. In fact, petting a cat the wrong way
might even get you scratched, which would certainly divert your
attention from the game. The key is that you start near the head and
stroke toward the tail. But do not be the tail. Cats are not dogs so
do not pat them on the head of scratch their stomachs. You know that
you are petting the cat correctly if you hear a purr. That means that
the cat is feeling sociable and enjoying the attention. When you hear
the purr, continue the petting and start to focus on the blackjack
game. You should not have to worry that the cat will get up and leave
or scratch you or do anything other than purr for you and help you
maintain the concentration that you need to play the game. Remember,
keep the pets gentle and along the back of the cat. If the cat arches
his back, continue what you are doing. That is a sign that he
approves of your technique. Focus on the game and don’t change the
way you are petting.
