Start by keeping your cat away from strangers and other unfamiliar people. If your cat does come into contact with a stranger, immediately put your cat in a comfortable space, such as its carrier or a room by itself. Additionally, socialize your cat early on with people it already knows and trusts, so it can recognize their scent and be more likely to accept new people. Finally, use positive reinforcement when introducing your cat to strangers – reward the.cat for being calm or engaging in play – to keep the experience as stress-free as possible.

It is not recommended to make your cat afraid of strangers as this could cause it stress and anxiety. It may be beneficial to socialize your cat more so that it becomes used to meeting new people. Teaching your cat the "dog" command may be effective in making your cat more wary of strangers. For example, when a stranger comes over, tell your cat to "go dog" which will help put the cat in a defensive stance and make it more reserved with unfamiliar people.
