Cats have a reputation for being independent and a little aloof, making it tough for owners to decipher their feelings. However, Dr. Sarah Wooten, a small animal veterinarian, reveals seven signs that your feline friend might just love you. From those slow blinks that signify peace and connection to the way they drop “gifts” at your feet, these behaviors can give insight into how your cat expresses affection.
One sign to look out for is lap sitting, which indicates trust. If your cat curls up in your lap, they’re not just being cozy; they’re showing they feel safe with you. Other signs include rubbing against you, kneading, and even purring—though purring can mean more than just happiness. It might surprise you to know that your cat’s bizarre gift-giving habits are also an endorsement of their affection, even if the offerings are a little gruesome.
Understanding these small yet significant behaviors can change how you view your bond with your cat. It turns out that those quirky actions are not just random antics; they’re genuine signs of love. So, the next time your cat brings you a “present,” consider it a heartfelt expression of their affection. Who knew that love could come with fur and a side of drama?
