Cats show love in their own unique ways, and there are several clear signs to look for:
- Following you around, showing that they trust and seek your company.
- Sleeping near or with you, indicating they feel safe and comfortable around you.
- Slow blinking at you, which is like a feline "kiss" showing trust.
- Kneading you with their paws, a comforting behavior from kittenhood.
- Headbutting and rubbing their head against you, marking you as part of their family.
- Grooming or licking you, a sign of affection and social bonding.
- Bringing you "gifts," such as toys or caught prey, as a way to share with you.
- Purring and meowing directed at you, which often express contentment and communication.
- Tail held upright with a curve at the tip or wrapped around you, signaling happiness and affection.
Overall, if a cat seeks closeness, makes gentle physical contact, and shows relaxed eye contact with slow blinks, you can be confident the cat loves and trusts you.
