the easiest thing you can do is to "ground" yourself first to remove the static charge from your body. kitty petting is usually spontaneous, so wetting or washing your hands first will probably not be ideal. try touching a piece of metal lying around to remove the charge and then pet your cat!

Rub your fingers properly with a dryer sheet. Then supply the cat a rubdown. this can deactivate the ions that are causing the static shocks. I guess your rug has some helpful ions and the cats are rolling round on it turning out to be the static. Its a more beneficial noticable contained in the wintry climate time because the air is so dry. observe you not in any respect get a static wonder contained in the lavatory when you get out of the bathe. I also imagine some cats have it worse. My white lengthy haired one is worse vs. my black and white short haired one.

It's because of static electricity in the air. Moisten your hands a bit before you pet her and maybe get a cold air humidifier for your house.

Well if you barely spent time with her or give her a lot of love(being kind to her)then she will be surprised of why you are petting her.I mean if somebody doesn't being nice to you a lot won't you be surprised or be shocked why the person is being nice.Maybe that is how your cat feels.This is my opinion and hope this answers your question.Or it could depend on how you pet her or how your hand feels or something like that.

Try not to pet her when you are on the carpet. It causes static elctricity and she'll probably run away after you pet her and give her a shock.

Static from dry air, on fur... Try washing your hands first and then leaving them a tad damp before petting, or using a damp hand towel to "brush" her fur first.

touch some thing metal before you pet her that is what i had to do before i pet my rabbit.about every 5 min you should touch some thing again just to be sure you don't shock her again.

You know what, I have the same problem, and without thinking I pet her and she jumps, not knowing what happened.
If you can think of putting hand lotion on first that won't happen.
That is the answer.---But do we always think of this first? No petting is spontaneous. Oh well, try.

That happens to me sometimes, too. I found that it usually only happens when I pet them from end to end. Try petting from her head to the middle of her back and back to the head again. I swear, it works.

ground yourself first...touch something metal before you pet your cat...but the cat can also have a static charge on its fur...washing your hands like others have said it probably the best.
