You've probably noticed that your cat closes its eyes when you pet it.

We'll tell you what this says about your pet's attitude towards you.

Why does a cat close its eyes when you pet it?

A cat closes its eyes when it is stroked, not only from pleasure.

Closed eyes are a sign that the cat currently feels safe.

If your cat closes her eyes completely as soon as you start petting her, it means she trusts you.

And if the cat also rolls over onto its back, exposing its belly, its trust is boundless.
