Some people consider cats to be selfish and ungrateful pets.
And in vain, because a fluffy creature may well not only love its owner, but also show this love in a certain way.
It turns out that cats can thank people for affection and care.
But how exactly do they do this? There are three ways.
The cat starts to rub
A cat that wants to thank its owner for delicious food or just for being nice may start rubbing against its owner's legs.
The animal will do this in order to leave its scent on the person.
This is how the pet shows: “This is my person, I need him, I trust him.”
The cat starts to butt
Have you noticed that your furry four-legged friend periodically “butts”?
Rejoice: this is a very good sign.
Purr doesn't "attack" you at all. He touches you with his forehead to show his affection and also to leave scent marks.
The cat starts to give a "massage"
It's good if the fluffy one periodically "kneads" you with its front paws. This is how the pet seems to say: "Thank you for your care."
This phenomenon has a very interesting name - "milk step". Kittens often behave this way when drinking their mother's milk.
