Although it may seem that felines are more distant animals than, for example, dogs, and that it is difficult for them to show affection towards their owners, they are the most affectionate animals that declare their love in innumerable gestures. However, the perception that they are elusive animals is a bit general , especially among those who do not know these felines. Pussycats are , perhaps, less explicit and more discreet than dogs in their displays of affection because they have their own communication codes.
There are therefore various ways in which felines show us everything they love us. Attentive!
- It is close to you . Cats tend to always go behind you as a symbol of love, of not wanting to separate. Like any living being, if they love you, they will always want to be very close.
- When cats brush their bodies against ours , they are impregnating us with their scent, leaving their pheromones on our clothes and skin. The purpose they pursue is to mark us as theirs and nobody else’s . Normally, this rubbing is done with your head, the area where there are more glands that secrete pheromones.
- Did you know that cats almost always meow to communicate with humans? For this reason, when they do it, it is because they want to be in contact with us, they want to tell us something and, normally, it is to demand pampering or food.
- When they blink slowly and calmly, they are also expressing their affection . When they are in tension (in front of an enemy or some strange person) they do not blink. Therefore, if they do it and, in addition, it is slow, we should feel lucky since they are calm by our side.
- Cats often stick their pads against us as if they were kneading. This is a sign of trust and love. In fact, the movement in question is a pleasant memory of their first days of life, when they suckled from their mother and pressed their breasts to get more milk to feed themselves.
- Purring is one of the most common ways that felines express their affection. When they are calm, their heart rate slows and makes room for purring . Therefore, it is very normal that when they are calm and relaxed they emit these sounds that can become quite serious.
- The position of their ears also helps to know the state of the cats. If they are relaxed, without any type of tension, it is a sign that they are calm and comfortable with their surroundings .
- When cats adopt the position of lying on their back it is a sign of absolute confidence . They only adopt it when they are in a comfortable situation. Also, if they do this while they sleep, it means that the feeling is much more pronounced.
