Get ready for âmore reasons why I fucking love catsâ
Yes, the legends are true. Cats headbutt you to show their trust and affection. They also do it to show âhey look I see you as family.â Lions do it with members of their pride to say the same. Itâs not just because they want food.
Cats nibbling is indeed literally cats grooming you. Itâs what mom cats do to their kittens. If a cat is gently biting and/or licking you, theyâre now your mom.
Meowing can simply be for the mere fact they want to say hello, want to play or be pet. Again, not just for food.
They barely meow at other cats (except for kittens, they meow at mom cat), mostly just humans. There are exceptions but overall, meowing is almost always for us.
Cats squinting/slow blinking is indeed basically the equivalent of us smiling and/or kissing.
Cats, like humans, prefer to get things without having to work for it- which isnât very common within other animals.
Cat massages or making biscuits is because they happy! Kneading is another way of saying âhey I like this moment here I enjoy you and my life.â
Cats recognize us by smell, sound, taste, and touch. They recognize us after years as their long term memory is extremely good. This is why abused or neglected cats are so easily scared or hard to connect with. If your scent changes over the years or just in the day, your voice will them itâs really you. Also, they will only remember you if you had impact on their life. If you just existed in the same house, they obviously wonât care.
And yes, they know our patterns in the day. You notice it when itâs beneficial to them (feeding time!). They will often wait for you to come home as well.
To remember: cats think we are interesting as hell. They watch us do everything because weâre fascinating!!!
They also want you to be around when eating because they feel vulnerable. They focus on eating so they hope you protect them. They do the same for you, all the time.
