Cats are known to be very social animals, so they vitally need human attention.

In order to attract the owner's attention and get into his arms, cats have a whole arsenal of uninterruptedly working means.

First of all, if a cat wants to curry favor with its owner, it will do everything it can to increase its importance.

How exactly? For example, it will start to demonstratively hunt mice, treating a person with the caught prey. By the way, unexpected gifts can be not only rodents, but also beetles and other animals.

If you don’t feel like going hunting, there is an even simpler solution: climb onto a person’s lap and purr.

By the way, sensitive cats especially often demonstrate this behavior when they notice that their owner is upset, angry, or experiencing other negative emotions.

Positive cat vibrations help stabilize the owner's mood and calm him down faster.

Another clever trick that every cat uses every now and then is to feign an attack of illness. A worried two-legged creature, noticing a limp cat, will certainly feel alarmed, and therefore will show concern and sympathy.

Finally, the opposite method is also quite common, when the pet demonstratively goes into another room.

If the owner is smart enough, he will guess that something went wrong and will rush to pet the cat.
