Many of us have a cute pet cat in our house, who sometimes sits quietly and sometimes sits next to us. The nature of cats is usually mysterious, so many people think that cats really know how to love. Cats have deep love for their loved ones, but they do not usually express it like dogs.
Below are seven signs or behaviors that will show that your cat loves you and considers you his or her own.
Slowly closing his or her eyes in a loving way
If your cat looks at you and slowly closes his or her eyes and opens them again, this is a very big sign of love. In the cat world, this is one of the ways to express “trust” and “love”. If you want, you can respond by closing your eyes in the same way while looking at him or her, which will strengthen your bond.
Purring or purring
When a cat is at ease, it will purr, making a vibrating sound. If it makes this sound in your presence, on your lap, or while being petted, it is clear that it is comfortable and considers you its safe haven.
Following and following around
Notice if your cat follows you into every room you go to. Maybe you are going to sleep in your kitchen, bathroom, or bed, and it follows you. This is the cat’s attempt to tell you that it wants to be with you and that you are its ‘world friend’.
Rubbing its head or body
When a cat rubs its head, cheek, or body against your body, it is applying its scent to you. This is a form of attachment—it considers you a member of its family and wants to set you apart from everyone else.
Bringing a gift
Sometimes you may find a dead insect, small animal or toy lying on your doorstep that your cat has brought. Although many people find this annoying, in cat language, it is a kind of gift. It says, “You are my important person, so I have brought you a gift.”
Jumping on your body and falling asleep
A cat is at its most vulnerable during sleep. So when he falls asleep on your body (for example: on your chest, lap, or side), understand that he trusts you and considers himself the safest place.
Soft bites and licking with his tongue
If a cat occasionally playfully bites you softly or licks you with its tongue, it is also an expression of his love. This is a type of behavior that they usually learn from their mother, and do with family members. It means—“I am one of your family”.
Finally, I can say. Cats’ love is quiet, deep, and develops over time and deepens. They don’t scream, but rather tell you through small gestures—”I love you so much, just like a member of your family.” If your cat shows any of these signs, rest assured that he loves you deeply, like one of his own, and considers you his own, like a member of his family.
