Everyone knows that if you start petting a cat, it will soon start purring and closing its eyes.
Most people think that the pet does this out of pleasure, attention, and other feline reasons. In fact, there is only one explanation, and only a few know it.
Experts say that despite the long-standing domestication of cats, predatory instincts have not disappeared.
Even in a house or apartment, they continue to remain on guard, especially if they are forced to share square meters with someone else.
And the normal state of a domestic cat is considered to be searching for a safe corner or place where it can calmly lick its fur, sleep, and so on.
As for the explanations for closing eyes while petting a cat, this is a sure sign that the pet feels safe at the moment.
After all, in the wild or in case of a threat, a cat cannot allow this.
Therefore, if you notice that your pet sits with its eyes closed while you are petting it, you can be sure that it trusts you completely.
