One moment your cat will be like, "COME ON RUB MY BELLY". The next, "GET YOUR FILTY HANDS OF ME". So which one is it? Does your cat LOVE or HATE you?
Belly RubLaying down on the floor, belly exposed. Could be a sign of comfort and trust around you. As cats are also prey to bigger to bigger animal. Exposing their bellies in the wild with no reason, could be very dangerous for them.
Knowing this, touching their sensitive area, in this case the belly. Could spring the cat to attack you as a defense mechanism. |
Showing the Behind
So how about a cat that walk right up to you for a petting session and straight away show her behind? For us humans this could be very rude. But for cats, this could be seen as a sign of trust and security. Being a prey to bigger animals in the wild, showing her behind to a stranger could be very dangerous.
Hence cat prefer to keep their back safe, while focusing on what is infront of them. In this case, you are her safe point.

"I LOVE YOU" Blink
Another thing that we hear most of the time is the I LOVE YOU blink. This is where the cat will do a slow and relax blink. This is the cat way to tell you that, they love you, they are comfortable with you and they feel very secure around you.
This is not to be confuse with staring. Staring in the cat world could be very rude and confrontational. This is the same when you are in a public transport and start to randomly stare at people around you. The next thing you know, you will have a black eye.

The "Mystery" Gift
This next one could be a bit bizarre and disgusting at times. Once in a while your cat might be bringing you a "SPECIAL" gift. it could be a dead mouse, a dead cockroach, or even an alive cockroach. i do not know which one is worst. But if I have to pick one. The alive cockroach is definitely worst for me . Erhhh~
Lucky for me my cats only bring some bite size soft toys as a gift. Think this as a way for your cat to say thanks to you. Thanks for cherishing them and thanks for taking good care of them.
Or perhaps your cats might think that you are too skinny and might need more food. Hahahah! Just joking on that last part.

Kneading [A.K.A Making Dough]
Another way that your cat shows that they are comfortable with you is by kneading. Which is also known as making dough due to the cat action. At times you will see that your cat might be pawing at things around you, like a blanket or pillow. And at times they might just even paw on you.
I do have a cat that love to do her kneading on me. At times it felt like a massage. JUST SOOOOO GOOOOD! At other times if she is too engross with her kneading, it could be a bit painful. As claws are you during kneading. And she will really dig her claws in at times. The cat might not know it, but cat skin is overall tougher than human skin. and it really hurts at times.
but do understand that, they are doing this because they simply love and find comfort with you.

Bunting & Rubbing
Cat greet each other and their humans counter parts by bunting and rubbing. What bunting and rubbing is actually to pass their scent to the next person. The more they bunt and rub, the more of your cat scent you have. It is like your cat trying to mark you, in order to tell other cats that you belong to her.
This is how important she strongly feel towards you.
