She brings you a “gift”

Whether it’s a toy or a dead bird, this “gift” is proof that your cat appreciates you so much, she wants to “feed” you or simply make you happy.

Cats nibble each other to show affection. Notice that they don’t bite hard—it’s their way of expressing love and devotion.

If your cat licks your hands, face, or even your ears with her little rough tongue, don’t be angry. She loves you and is replicating what she would do with a feline companion. You’re part of her family!

You’re asleep in bed, and your cat begins gently kneading his paws on you, alternating the pressure between right and left. Don’t kick him to the floor. He’s showing, in his way, that he loves you

A cat who follows you around the house like a little lap dog is without a doubt a cat who enjoys your company. Otherwise, she would hide.

Does your cat sometimes head-butt your arm or rub his forehead against your leg? In feline language, these gestures are equivalent to hugs. Your cat also does this because he wants you to have the same scent.

Does your cat curl up in bed with you? Count yourself lucky. In order to sleep, a cat needs to feel safe. If she snoozes with you in your bed, it’s a sure sign she adores you.

Cats are curious animals, so their attention often darts from one thing to the next. But if your cat stares at you while blinking slowly, for her, it’s the same thing as giving you a kiss. With this subtle gesture, she’s indicating that she trusts and loves you.

You’re sitting in your armchair, at the kitchen table, or in your bed, and suddenly your cat jumps onto your lap. When he snuggles up to you like this, know that it’s proof of his love for you.

If you find your cat in a pile of clothes (even dirty laundry!) or under your bed covers, don’t be surprised—she loves you and is seeking out your scent. This is why she chooses to rest in a place where your scent is very present.
