7 signs your cat likes you

Communication is essential to living a harmonious life when it comes to cohabitation. This applies to both humans and pets. If humans predominantly use verbal language to express themselves, cats use various gestures and sounds to make themselves understood.

However, often their independent and disinterested attitude can give the impression that the owner does not like his pet. Well, we don’t think that’s the case and, to convince you, we’ve compiled a list of the most common affectionate gestures that your cat might make without you even realizing it.

They welcome you with joy

If when you come home from work your cat is the first person to cross your path after crossing the threshold, then know that he is happy to see you. He will also tell you how much he missed you with a specific meow and will most likely follow you around the house for a while. She may also rub against your legs and want to be hugged because she needs affection.

He brings you gifts

Of course we are not talking about flowers or chocolate, but rather mice, birds, frogs and any creature that could become prey to your feline. Even if you don’t like the gift, it’s still good to enjoy and thank the cat, because in the end the gesture counts.

He is rolling on the floor with happiness

When the cat relaxes and rolls on the floor in front of you, it is a sign that he feels safe and that he has chosen you as a reliable person to pet and cuddle him. Of course, the feline has its interests, but you should be proud to have this opportunity and to have earned this status as a trustworthy person.

He looks at you intently and rubs his head against you

The deepest gesture of affection a cat can make is when it rubs its head against your forehead. This means that he truly appreciates and loves you. Also, if you see him staring at you and blinking slowly, that means, in cat parlance, that he’s blowing you kisses. It seems like a lot of fun, so you could try mirroring his behavior and sending the same message back to him, see how he reacts.

Prepare the “cookies”

Making “biscuits” refers to the cat’s activity of kneading, often with its front paws, a soft object. Felino does it while preparing the bed or when he is happy (for various reasons). He has been in the habit of doing this since he was a child because he kneaded his mother’s belly to obtain milk. So, if the cat gives you “cookies” on your lap, know that it means he has marked his territory and basically, from now on, you are his. It’s a very nice gesture that only a cat who really likes you can do.

It cleans you

You may have noticed that cats are extremely attentive creatures to personal hygiene, dedicating a good part of their time to self-cleaning activities. Well, when the cat likes you, it is quite possible that he will try to groom you too. And what better way to do it than by licking it. And it does it with you in the same way it cleans its own fur, with tenacity and attention. This gesture is a family gesture for your cat and is also a way to convey affection to you.

He chooses to sleep with you

Despite having a well-defined and very soft bed, the cat can choose to sleep where it feels safest. Sometimes this place can also be your bed. So don’t be surprised if you can fall asleep alone and wake up with your pet sleeping next to you. This is a gesture of affection and trust. You can pamper your cat after he wakes up with a gentle massage. He will definitely love it and purr with happiness.

Most likely you have found in the list above the habits that you often notice in your cat. Well, it means that even if he doesn’t express it verbally, your feline still likes you. Now you can rest assured and why not, show her your affection in return, obviously when she wants it. 🙂
