Cat stretching is beneficial for the cat's body, as it strengthens the muscles throughout the body.
During sleep, most of the cat's muscles are completely relaxed, and therefore the animal needs some time to recover.
Stretching is necessary to relax - if the muscles have been inactive for a long time, then it is necessary to get rid of discomfort.
Stretching helps rid your pet's muscles of toxins, lactic acid and carbon dioxide, which have a negative impact on health.
A cat instinctively tries to keep its body flexible and healthy, and stretching helps prepare its muscles for hunting.
Signs of love for the owner:
- if a cat stretches out in front of its owner, it is a sign of love and affection;
- when a pet stands on its owner’s legs with its front paws, this gesture means that it has a special connection with you;
- If a cat lies on the floor and bares its belly in front of a person, then this is a sign of trust.
Therefore, the most obvious manifestation of trust is stretching on a person’s stomach or knees.
