    Cats and dogs and many other mammals can literally smell your stress, tension and fear. Your cortisol, more or less.

    If you are actually calm, actually centered, actually cool… theyre much more likely to view you favorably.

    If a pet likes a not-member-of-the-household stranger more than other people, thats likely because you the stranger are more relaxed than those other people generally are.
