What signs show that your cat loves you? Science has answers - voila! news

Five things you didn't know about cats (Walla! news system)

Even the most ardent cat lover sometimes wonders (and maybe even wakes up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night) - does my cat really love me?

Sometimes the dog people tease them and point out the long history where the dog is considered man's best friend while the cat will eat your corpse if you die next to it.

But research shows that cats' reputation as cold and unloving creatures is simply not true.

Because of their evolutionary development, domestic cats are by nature more independent than dogs.

The wild ancestors of our cats did not live in packs like dogs.

However, during their domestication process, cats have developed the ability to form social bonds not only with other cats, but also with people.

Although they may not rely on humans for security as much as dogs, many cats are affectionate towards their owners and seem to greatly value the company of their human companions.

Their attachment to humans is partly influenced by their experiences of being handled by people since they were little kittens.

Cats react to humans the same way they react to their feline friends, so the secret to whether your cat feels connected to you lies in their behavior.

So how do you know if he really loves you?

1. Leaving a smell.

The way to communicate with other cats over long distances, even if they are not physically present, is an advantage that the ancient cat ancestors had.

Our pet cats have inherited this super sense and they use it a lot as a form of communication.

Individually, cats leave scents on individuals in their family or within their social groups.

Cats have scent glands on their sides, head and around their ears - so they often rub their heads against objects to make them feel familiar and comfortable.

Does your cat rub its head on your legs?

A light rub means he recognizes you as a friend and that's a big compliment.

What does your cat really say when it rubs against you?

One of the most prominent signs that your cat loves you is the way he greets you.

When a cat greets one of its friends, it shows friendship and a desire to get closer.

They do this with humans too.

A straight tail lift often shows a friendly welcome and recognition, trust and affection.

Some cats curve the feed in the shape of a question mark, as a sign that they want to play.

Wagging the tail is sometimes a sign of friendship, as is wrapping the tail around the bottom of your leg.

If they roll over and show their belly this is sometimes a way in which your cat shows that it trusts you.

However, cats prefer to be petted on the head and neck area, so they don't ask for belly rubs.

Attempting to touch the stomach will sometimes be met with an angry reaction or even a scratch.

There are those who claim that the cat's touch on the back of your knee is also a sign that he feels a strong connection to you.

Your cat sometimes signals to you by the way it looks at you.

If the cat encounters a strange person or cats it doesn't know, it will look at it without blinking.

He will blink slowly if it is a cat he has a good relationship with.

Studies suggest that slow blinking is associated with a good emotional response and is a sign of trust and affection, like a human smile.

If you want to return his affection reduce him back to your cat.

This is a good way to bond with the cat - if they don't like being touched.

Cats are sometimes very sensitive to their personal area and they don't like unexpected guests entering there.

If your cat allows you to approach it, it shows a strong bond, especially if the contact is long.

Curling up in your lap to sleep is a sign of deep trust.

Licking your hand or face shows a similar sign, even if the tongue is unpleasant.
