Cooperative care is for cats too. My old lady got a lot of positive conditioning around her carrier, uppies, & nail trims. She's so sweet and tolerant about other thing too, like pilling. She's no fan of the vet but she's not stressed and bitter about it after.
Knitting themselves between your ankles is a cat love language. Ever seen cat friends just walking together, bumping shoulders and tangling tails?
My old kitty loves to walk me around the house, not even to the food bowl. We go from the cat tree to the other cat tree to the window to the screen door and she's yelling and grumbling, hopping up for pets on the trees but she's mainly about walking together.
