When we bring an adult cat home, we may have the odd problem socializing it with other furry or with people. Although it is not always impossible to make him more sociable, it is very complicated, since his character and personality have long been formed.
So if you want to know how to socialize an adult cat We will explain it to you below. 
What to know about the behavior of the cat?
The behavior of a cat is formed from when it is a puppy. From two to three months he will go through a period known as "socialization", in which he must have contact with other animals and people so that in the future he will know and want to be with them. When this does not happen, that is, when that kitten lives on the street or in a house where it is not cared for properly, when it is older it will feel fearful when a human or other furry wants to approach it.
Can an adult cat be socialized?
It depends on what childhood you had. In general, cats that live on the street, without any kind of human attention, are animals that will be practically impossible to socialize. On the contrary, if they are cared for by volunteers from a very young age, then yes they could be socialized.
How to get it?
With a lot of patience, respect, positive reinforcement and without violence. We have to get closer to him little by little, if possible with an open can for cats (wet food) to earn your trust through food. In addition, we must understand their body language, avoiding staring into his eyes and without forcing him to do anything he does not want.
