To tell if a stray cat is friendly, observe its behavior. A friendly cat approaches you, rubs against your legs, or purrs. It may also make direct eye contact and have relaxed body language. Offer some food and see if it takes it from your hand—this is a good sign of trust. Always approach slowly and let the cat come to you to avoid scaring it.
