Love is in the air in February. Showing love to your other half is easy but what about your cats? How can we show them our affection? And how do they show theirs to us? Dr. Margit Gabriele Muller shares her thoughts…
How cats show you they love you
- Cats show their affection by licking their beloved person – usually on the face or hands.
- Purring is a sign of deep relaxation but when your kitty purrs whilst rubbing on you, it’s an affirmation of love.
- Have you ever seen your cat blinking very slowly? This means ‘I love you` in cat language.
- Does your feline friend love to show his or her belly to you or head butt you? These are both clear signs of love, affection and trust.
