10 signs your cat loves you


The love of a cat is unconditional and a precious experience, but how do I know if my cat loves me? There are many people who love having a cat as a pet and the bonds that are produced can be very strong. Cats tend to be described as unaffectionate, interested and selfish animals, and this is far from the truth. Yes, cats may be very independent and somewhat reserved, which will depend on the personality of each cat, but this does not mean that they have selfish feelings or that they only approach these for pure benefit.

Cats are capable of loving. Only these have a peculiar way of showing it. So cats and love, if they exist and in this article we will talk a little about them and how to show affection. 10 ways to tell you that they love you. And if you have a cat and you think that it is indifferent to you, with what we will tell you in this post you will realize that it is not like that. That in its own way your cat has been and is loving you.


Cat’s love. The 10 signs

Because of the way that cats act, so independent and so cautious, we often think that they do not feel love for us.

But studies have revealed that cats are capable of loving humans, even they prefer to have contact with us, before any stimulus produced by food or games.

Cats are capable of developing strong bonds with their human family, and they often do things to show their love.

We may not understand these actions as such due to simple ignorance, and that is why we are going to describe some of the ways in which your cat will show you that he loves you :

Rubs his head or taps you with it

With this action of rubbing his head or pushing you with it, your cat is marking you as its.

As we know, cats have different scent glands, and in their head they have several, under the jaw, on the edges of their mouth, on their temples and in their ears, rubbing or hitting their head against you, they try to leave their scent on you.

This is a clear sign of love, as cats only leave their scent on things that are very important to them.

It kneads you with its claws

On its paws, right on the pads of this, your cat has scent glands, so if it lays its paws on you and presses you against them it is a way of leaving its scent on you, in this way it is also marking you as something of your property, something important and with whom you feel comfortable.

It wags its tail in your presence and curves the tip

When your cat approaches you with its tail raised, it moves it very slowly, and with the tip slightly tilted to one side, it is a way of showing you that it feels very comfortable with your presence and is also happy and attentive to you. You see that the movements of a cat’s tail can tell us many things, but it is without a doubt that it is happy to see you.

Purrs

When cats are new born and are unable to see, they are guided by their mother’s purr. This is why if your cat purrs it is a sign that it feels safe with you.

Requires your attention

This is another very clear sign that your cat loves you, as these animals are characterized by being independent.

You must remember that the cat will give you what it receives from you, that is, if you give it love and attention, it will also give it to you. And if it is used to this and one day you cannot give them the usual attention, your cat will demand it. It could perch on the keyboard, climb on your desk, crawl into your bed, or meow at the door. Everything for you to be with them.

Will bring you some gifts

This can happen if your cat is free to come and go as they please. If you do so, at some point you may arrive with a very peculiar gift, such as a mouse, lizard or hunted bird.

This action is natural in hunting cats. If it is totally dead it is only a gift, and if it is still alive, it gives it to you so that you can finish killing them. This is an action learned from their mothers.

Grooms you

From the moment that cats come into the world their mother takes care of grooming them through grooming, which is why cats associate this with care and protection.

Also, if your cat was raised with her siblings, they often lick and groom each other. So if your cat licks you, it is showing you that it loves you.

It bites you

This is an action that can be painful, however, if your cat bites you especially on one side of your face, it is a sign of love.

Since cats often bite each other as a way to show their affection, during social games. Here we talk more about the reasons why a cat can bite you.

Looks at you and blinks

If your cat stares at you and then blinks and opens its eyes slowly, and repeats this action again, it is a token of love. In this way it seeks to tell you that it fully trusts you and sometimes with its tail raised, it turns and shows you its butt.

It lies next to you on the sofa, and is also able to sleep on your lap

If your cat lies next to you on the sofa it is a way to share a moment with you. And if it falls asleep on your lap or in your arms, it is a very great sign of his trust and love for you.

Cats feel very vulnerable when they sleep and they look for safe places. What better sign that it loves you than to sleep next to you?


The cat has learned to “love”

Now that we know about their origins, let’s talk a little about the characteristic personality of cats.

Of these they have said infinities of not very positive things such as that they are surly, selfish, interested, but we already know that this is not true.

These conclusions are given above all by people who do not know them.

The cat itself is a very peculiar and exceptional animal that if you understand it, it will become an ideal life companion.

It is difficult for us to understand their personality because we often compare them to dogs, leaving aside the fact that these two animals are two totally different species, with different social behaviours.

The initial distrust of a cat is due to its survival instinct and its ability to avoid being hunted. In the wild, it is an excellent hunter, but it also has predators.

That is why before trusting it dedicates themselves to observing and investigating. Once it is confident, the cat will be very affectionate, as long as you respect its rules, because yes, it will only show you cat love when it wants it and you are worthy of its trust.

Another characteristic of a cat’s personality is its independence. A cat is fully capable of subsisting on its own and also does not always want company.

Always remember to respect the cats’ space, this will help you to know them better and that it understands that you accept its company, only when it has decided to be with you.


The love between cats. Ties

If you are the owner or owner of a family of cats, you have surely noticed that they lick each other, on certain occasions. And we inform you that they do this as a sign of trust, comfort and affection.

Through this action they begin to bond with other cats, and impregnate them with their scent, which is their way of saying, you belong to me, you are part of my family.

This lick is known as a social lick. And this is proof of a bond of friendship that exists between cats. Generally this type of licking is given on the face of the other cat.

Cats also tend to lick the other cats in their family, this they do in order to strengthen their family ties, as a sign that they belong to the litter, even if they do not share direct descendants.


Cats and their unconditional love?

Without a doubt, cats teach us many things with their way of loving. They teach us that true love is not about feeling dependence on another person, it is not about obeying or being submissive to the other person, true love is not believing yourself to be the owner of a person.

Love translates into respect, empathy, and appreciation. Love is having the freedom to choose to go and share with anyone and wherever and still decide to share life with someone in particular.

Cats teach us that we must learn to respect the time of whom we say we love, that each person has their space and their own privacy.

Cats are beings that live by their own rules and that do not allow others to condition their life, their desires, their nature, their way of seeing the world.

Remember that if a cat loves you, it really does. There are no half measures. In its own way, you will know that it loves you.


Loving cats, lovelier breeds

Domestic cats have their touch of sweetness, and most are able to show it to their families, without feeling confident enough with them.

Cats and humans have long created strong bonds.

Humans have tried to change them, adapt them to the human way of life, and yet their attempts have not been totally successful.

And this is how we have realized that for the relationship with our cats to be very good, we have to be more understanding and not insist on changing their way of being .

Give them affection, the necessary care, because it is our responsibility to choose to live with them, respecting their nature .

Surely then they will show us everything they have to give us.

The love cat, something nice and that is earned over time. Does your cat love you in its own way? Share it with us and tell us what you have learned from them.


Cats, love and its arrival to the whole world

The first information that is had about a domestic cat comes from ancient Egypt, however, it is known of the existence of cats prowling humans since 5000 BC.

It is said that the cat approaches and manages to adapt to humans during the Egyptian civilization. It was attracted to mice that roamed human crops.

Unknowingly, they became important to farmers and gatherers, who welcomed them into their farms, houses, and abodes.

It is known that their behavior changed when their subsistence was assured and that their relationship with humans began to domesticate part of their character.

Then, in a short time, domestic cats were present throughout Egypt, later they reach the whole world, starting with India and China, places from which they arrived, together with the merchants of the time, to the West.

As early as 100 AD there were cats all over Europe. And it would not be until the eighteenth century that it reaches North America.


Cat love, understand its nature

To understand a little more about this feline, its instinct and its way of relating to people, it is very necessary to know its origins, its history, its ancestors.

Understanding this, it will be much easier for us to understand kittens and their way of being, of loving.

It is important to know that the main evolutionary cause of current and ancient felines is the need to subsist through their diet, these are predators by nature.

The ancient cats that existed around 9000 years ago are not much different than they are today.

Within the feline family there is great diversity, however, it is possible to find many genetic similarities between these with the current domestic cat.

For example, with big cats such as lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars and panthers, they resemble each other in behavior, the only thing that would differentiate them would be the habitat they occupy.

With the smaller felines, such as cougars, lynxes, ocelots, wild cats, etc., they have a lot of similarity in their genetics, however, their behaviours are very different.

Now, there is a species with which the domestic cat is similar in practically everything, and it is with the wildcat, even experts on the subject believe in the possibility that the common cat is a variety of the wildcat (Felis silvestris).

Even these two species can be crossed, however, the result of this crossing is a hybrid cat, which will not be easily domesticated.

The cat is considered the only animal that has wanted to be domestic, since this by its own choice, decided that the advantages of living together with humans, could bring good things, for both. Surely it was not wrong.

However, it has chosen to be on its own terms, and remains independent and does not like to take orders. It will do what it wants, when it wants and with whom it wants. That is the love of cats.
