Look at the cat, say something quietly and then look away. Don’t stare as this is what animals do when they are hunting prey. You can look at the cat periodically and say a word, then again look away. Next time, bring a little treat with you and leave it on the grass when you leave. Or on the chair if you are sitting on one. The cat will gradually accept that you are not a threat and that you bring good things to him like a treat. The cat will trust you more and move closer. Don’t make sudden movements and always talk quietly. He may be a neighbourhood cat that enjoys your yard because it is one of the peaceful ones in the area. He is just not sure whether you are a threat to him, or a friendly type. I am a cat fan and enjoyed your video.
Video like this is underrated. Everyone demanded flaky, flashy blinking lights and it turned insane. ✨ sanity, at last.
