It is often difficult for cat owners to understand the attitude of a pet towards themselves, unlike dog lovers. Cats are not so sociable. However, there are signs that the cat is attached to you and loves you.

How to understand that a cat loves you

The expression of cats' love for you is not always obvious.

Love is a fairly loose concept that is difficult to measure even in people.

However, scientists know that many animals share similar emotions, sensations and feelings with humans.

Love of cats is no exception.

Cats use special signals and behaviors to indicate their relationship with their owner.

For example, a pet often rubs its head against you, sleeps next to you, constantly follows you, wraps its tail around you, and cares for you.

This behavior can be interpreted as affection and love.

Another sign of the animal's warm feelings is a slow blink in your direction. It is the equivalent of a human smile and expression of love.

You can reciprocate the cat and blink your eyes slowly in response.

If the cat feels safe at home, the needs of the animal are satisfied, the cat will be supportive of you.

Cats can bond with human, contrary to popular belief. 

And how your pet expresses his feelings may depend on his individual characteristics. Cats, like people, can express love in different ways. Even through bites.
