Cat lovers know: these animals have a unique character and are never in a hurry to trust people. It may not be easy to win the affection of your pet, but if you notice certain signs in her behavior, be sure that she trusts you unconditionally. Here are the top 10 signs that your furry friend feels completely safe with you.
Cats are animals without which many people cannot imagine their life, and nowadays they are also an essential anti-stress. There is hardly a cat owner whose phone memory is not filled with photos or videos of their pet. In a human-animal relationship, the most important thing is mutual trust. As you know, a cat is an animal that decides for itself whom to love and whom to trust. If your cat (or cat) has these 10 signs, then, according to Sats.com, you are a lucky person who is trusted by your pet.
Cats express affection and trust in subtle ways.
Greeting
Cats are curious creatures and like to explore when something new happens. Adult cats are also territorial and have a habit of closely monitoring what is happening in their territory. If your cat runs to greet you when you come home, it's a good sign that she trusts you completely. A tail up at this point is a compliment, as it usually indicates excitement and pleasure.
The cat constantly spends time with you
Cats are known for their individuality and independence. However, if a cat (or a cat) tries to sit on your lap or lie next to you, curled up comfortably, this indicates a strong emotional attachment of the animal, love for you and unlimited trust. At the same time, some animals try to bring their favorite toy closer to "their" person and may even ask to play with them. The best compliment is if they want to sleep on you. Being there for you when they're at their most vulnerable is a clear sign that you've earned your cat's trust.
Eye contact
Eye contact is an important form of communication for cats, and they can use gaze, pupil size and blinking to signal different emotions to other cats and people, if you know what to look for. If your cat maintains eye contact with you when relaxed and blinks slowly from time to time, this is a clear sign of attachment and trust.
Foot massage and biting
Sometimes cats can show their trust too much. If the cat trusts you, it will seek to play with you and bite you, using not a "hunting" but a loving "bite", which differs in the strength and pressure of the bite.
Cats' sharp little claws can also be used to show affection. At an early age, cats use their front paws to rub their mothers to stimulate milk production, and many adult cats still rub soft objects as a form of comfort. Sitting on your lap and clawing at you is actually a sign of love — even though it may not feel like it!
"Bodan"
If your cat likes to gently stroke your head or stroke your face, it shows a lot of love, trust and a sense of security around you. Cats have scent glands on their cheeks, forehead, and chin that release pheromones. They express security and recognition.
Caring for you from the cat
Cats are often solitary animals, but if they live in a pair or group, they will spend time grooming themselves. If your cat licks you or strokes you with its paw, this behavior indicates trust and love. Reciprocate by brushing regularly, and your cat's affection for you will only grow.
Gifts
If the cat brings you mice, birds or other animals it caught on the street, do not be afraid and do not scold the cat. If a furry hunter brings you its prey, it should be appreciated, not condemned, because in this way the animal recognizes your authority and wants to share everything it has with you. Open stomach
Cats lie on their backs and put their stomachs up for a person to scratch only if they trust them completely. A cat's belly is a vulnerable area, and lying on its back with its belly exposed can make your cat feel completely relaxed and at ease around you.
Purring and meowing
Normal cat behavior does not involve meowing. Instead, they mainly use body language, posture and smell to communicate. Most cat vocalizations are usually negative and consist of hissing and growling.
The classic "meow" sound in a cat is quite rare, usually it can be heard only when the cat is happy or excited, or between a mother cat and a kitten. If your cat greets you with an excited sound—for example, a loud meow when you show up in the morning—it should be taken as a sign of affection. Soft "squeaky" sounds called trills are also a sign that your cat loves and accepts you.
Tails and butts
A cat's tail plays a bigger role in feline communication than you might imagine. Observing the position of a cat's tail can very quickly determine its mood. A high, vertical tail is a sign of contentment and friendliness, and if it's wagging, that's even better! Another major sign of affection in cats is when they turn their backs and bottoms to you. They trust and are not afraid of being attacked from behind.
