When you have good relationships with your cat, it often wants to spend more time with you.
Cats can be quite social, so they often try to attract their owners' attention, but their owners don't always understand that.
Here are a few things to do when they want you to spend more time with them.
Meowing
Cats often meow to communicate with their owners. They may do this when they want food, attention, or simply to initiate interaction.
Purring
Purring is a sign of contentment for cats, but they may also purr to seek attention.
When a cat purrs near you, it's a way of saying, "Hey, I'm here, and I'd like some company."
Head-Butting or Bunting
Cats may gently bump their heads or rub their faces against you.
This is a way of marking you with their scent, showing affection, and seeking attention.
Kneading
When a cat presses their paws alternately against a soft surface, it's called kneading.
Cats often do this when they're content or seeking attention from their owners.
Playful Behavior
Cats may bring toys to their owners or engage in playful antics. This is their way of inviting you to play and spend time with them.
Following You
Cats may follow their owners around the house. This behavior indicates a desire for companionship and attention.
Grooming You
If a cat licks you or tries to groom your hair, it's a sign of affection.
Cats groom each other as a bonding activity, and they may include their owners in this behavior.
Staring
Cats may stare at their owners, especially if they want attention or if they're trying to convey a message.
It's their way of making eye contact and getting noticed.
Bringing "Gifts"
Some cats may bring you "gifts" in the form of toys or even prey.
While it may seem strange, this behavior is a display of trust and a desire to share with their human.
Sleeping Near You
If your cat chooses to sleep close to you, it's a sign of trust and affection. Cats feel safe and secure when they're near their favorite humans.
