There are often jokes on the Internet about how cats don't really love their owners, but this is very far from the truth.
Animals know how to be grateful and very often show their love in various ways.
It is important to understand that cats' displays of love are somewhat different from humans'.
Let's try to understand this topic in a little more detail.
How Cats Show Their Love
Here are some signs.
- Rolling on the floor, showing off their belly. This shows they are happy to see you – they may roll over on their back as a greeting.
- They mark you with scent. To do this, they rub their cheeks and forehead against you, even showing a sense of ownership.
- Scratching furniture. This behavior should not be encouraged, but the animal should not be punished either.
- Massaging with paws. As a puppy, the cat made these movements to get more milk from its mother.
