I've had a couple of cats, and here's my approach: you become their mother. It's a good way to gain some kind of control as they grow up and potentially destructive, and very congenial. I have always held them on their back like a baby several times a day. They don't nominally prefer to be on their backs, but when you make it pleasant they grant you the control. In this way you can inspect their bodies when you like, for good maintenance, and you create the mama-cat-like social position.
That's about it for social interaction, the rest is play.
Oh yes, cats like to be talked to. Using a high-pitched voice attracts their attention.
