8 Lovely Ways Cats Say They Love You

1. Heading

Felines have odorous glands concentrated in some parts of the body. So when a kitten is rubbing its head at you, this is a way for him to mark you with his sniff and show that he trusts you.

2. Licking

Cats clean themselves with their tongue, which they also use to mark territory. When one cat bathes another, for example, they are creating a “common” smell between them. The same goes for you.

3. Flashing slowly

If a cat keeps a close eye on you and starts to blink slowly, feel good: this way it shows you are comfortable with your presence. How about returning the slow wink?

4. Showing the belly

If a cat is completely relaxed with your presence, it can lie on the floor and still show its belly to you, in a clear display of vulnerability and love to the owner.

5. Kneading Bread

This practice begins when he is a little baby and needs to stimulate his mom's milk flow. So when cats continue this practice as adults, it is a way of telling you that they are very reassured by your presence and very happy to have you around.

6. Chasing

If your cat starts following you around every room in the house, don't think he's interested in something like food: sometimes they do it simply to be close to you.

7. Walking with the tail up

The raised tail, in vertical or interrogation format (with a slight curvature at the tip), is the clearest sign that the kitten is happy with its presence.

8. Purring

The "snoring" of cats can indicate various things, such as fear or even injury. However, it usually means that he is loving your lap.
