A Tit for a Tat (75)
Tit: What is that suspicious-looking cat doing?
Tat: Looking at us suspiciously!
Tit: Is it because he thinks we are suspicious?
Tat: Or is because he is guilty of something?
Tit: How would I know?
Tat: So should we look suspiciously at him?
Tit: But that might make him more suspicious of us!
Tat: He shouldn’t make us suspicious of him in the first place.
Tit: Or perhaps we shouldn’t suspect him in the first place?

Demonisation of others
is demonisation of oneself.– Stonepeace
How about trying to generate loving-kindness or cast a compassionate look at it, maybe it will react positively from an alert look to more relaxed look?
Some stray cats need a lot of metta to make them relaxed. It’s quite sad. I wonder if they faced much bullying from humans to come to be this way. It’s a far cry when they were trusting kittens. Amituofo
