Cats can show their love and affection for humans in many ways. One of these ways is sitting on the owner's shoulders.
Why do cats do this and what do they want to say with their behavior?
Hunter's Instinct
Cats are descendants of wild cats that have adapted to life in different conditions.
One of their instincts is to seek high places from which to observe the environment and hunt for prey. Sitting on the shoulders of the owner, the cat feels safe and confident, and also gets a better view of the territory.
Method of communication
Cats not only hear, but also feel the sounds that people make. They can recognize the intonation, mood and emotions of their owner by his voice.
When sitting on the shoulders, the cat is closer to the person's ear and can hear their speech better. In addition, the cat can purr, scratch or rub against the owner's cheek to express its feelings and desires.
Showing trust
Cats are independent and self-sufficient animals that do not trust everyone. They choose their owner and show affection to him.
Sitting on shoulders is a sign of great trust and respect for a person. The cat shows that it completely trusts its owner and considers him its friend and protector.
Sitting on the owner's shoulders is one of the ways a cat expresses its love, affection, trust and interest in a person. It is also associated with the hunting instinct and a way of communication.
If your cat likes to climb on your shoulders, don't push her away, but rather praise and pet her. This will strengthen your bond and make you both happier.
