There are so many signs a cat shows when it loves its kind or its owner. But most of us usually ignore the signs because we don’t understand. In this article, you’ll find out about the meaning behind the signs your cat usually does around you!

1. Brushing its tail, or head against you

Cat has scent glands around these body parts. If your cat does this often to you, it means that your cat loves you. It marks you with its scent so no cats will come close to you and mark you. It also means that your cat considers you as its owner.

2. Biting you while playing with you

Many cats’ behaviours are unexpected for some people, including the behaviour above. Have you ever experienced where your cat held your hand, bitten it, then did rabbit kicks multiple times to your lovely hand? Hey! Don’t worry about it. It doesn’t mean your cat hates playing with you. Do you know that all cat mothers play with their kittens exactly like this? Yes! The bite is called play bite. The difference between play bite and a real dangerous bite is play bite tends to be more gentle and less aggressive. Also, if you are lucky your cat will lick your hand right after doing play bites as a sign of love.

3. Licking you

This sign cannot be doubted. If your cat licks you, it means that it loves you. Cats mothers usually grooms their kittens by licking them. Perhaps, you will feel weird because of the texture of a cat’s tongue which is rough and feels like a soft brush But, sooner or later, you will be used to that feeling. 

4. Staring and blinking slowly at you
 
People always ignore this sign. If a cat blinks slowly after it looked at you, try not to break the eye contact. This shows that your cat feels safe around you. A cat does not do a hard eye contact to another cat because that means it is open for a fight or a challenge. Meanwhile, if a cat blinks slowly right after looking at another cat or human, it means that the cat feels unthreatened.
 
5. Purring around you
 
A cat that purrs around you indicates that it is in its happy mode and relaxed. A happy cat tends to purr often around other cats. If you hear your cat purring, just for your information, that’s the way your cat showing its smile without actually smiling.
 

6. Exposing its belly while being with you
 
Belly is one of the sensitive areas in a cat’s anatomy. If your cat is exposing its belly while being with you, or it lets you caress its belly, then congratulation! You are the lucky one. It means that you have gained its trust to touch the sensitive part. A cat usually scratches human if someone touches its belly.

7. Massaging you
 
A cat who likes to massage humans? Does it really exist??? Of course! Kittens usually massage their mom nipples to release the milk. Some adult cats do that to release stress. When your cat massages you, it means that it thinks of you as its mother.

8. Bringing you its prey

If your cat brings you its prey, for example : lizard, cockroach, or another small animals, it means that your cat wants to show you that you are their priority. Cat mothers usually hunt to feed their kittens. That’s the way your cat showing its affection! Well, sometimes bugs scared most of women but it will be worth to see and to know the meaning behind this behaviour.

Don’t forget to show them the same love to show your appreciation. That’s all from me. See you next time, Readers!
