Cat Talk For I Love You
Valentine’s Day isn’t just for humans! No, in fact I bet a lot of us live with cats who are a more affectionate than some people we know! In an article featured on our site at The Daily Cat discusses some interesting “I Love You” cat behaviors. Cat behaviorist expert Jackson Galaxy, (wow, what a name!) says, “Absolutely! …. cats are the masters of detached love.” I wonder, does that mean those of us so crazy about cats prefer “detached” love. Hum, that’s something to ponder. “They express love in ways that baffle us”. Here’s just a few “you’re my human” antics:
-
Grooming: Your cat licking you mimics their mother’s love
-
Purring (my favorite!): Associated with “kitty”hood milk-time feeding experience.
-
Rubbing, Kneading, Mock Spraying & Gumming: Scenting you to claim you as there own
-
Blinking: A stare (we all know that one!), followed by a blink, then open eye with second soft blink signifying trust.
-
Gifting Dead Critters (I get LOTS of gifts!!): Rather than a “gift” its bringing home to a safe place.
How do we tell them, “I Love You”? Offer them supreme bliss with a new cuddly cat condo! This is a wonderful article, filled with an insightful perspective on cat behavior. Be sure to take just a minute to learn more about “let me count the ways!”
