The body language used by felines is a bit different from that used by humans, so sometimes we believe that we are transmitting a certain message, but they do not quite understand it. For example, Did you know that when your cat, when he squints his eyes, he is telling you that he appreciates you? People, on the other hand, can have our eyes a little closed when we are sick, or angry.
So it is not surprising that the human-cat relationship is sometimes a bit curious. But how can it be improved? Showing him that you love him using his own language. Here you have different ways to show affection to a cat.
In addition to squinting, which you can do whenever you want, there are other gestures you can do. For example:
Nose-nose salute
Cats, every time they greet each other, they do so by smelling each other's noses. Of course, you don't need to smell his, but rather it will be enough if you bring it close enough to touch it a little, as you can see in the image that heads this article.
Don't go straight to him
When a cat goes directly to another cat, it is because it intends to fight. Those who live with humans have already learned that they do not want to harm them, since they intuit it by our body language, but whenever possible, it is better to make a curved line.
Caress his head and back
For the cat, the human hand that caresses it is like its mother's tongue. It relaxes him a lot to be caressed, especially his back. So do not hesitate to do it every time I am calm.
Give kisses
Cats don't kiss like we do. His way of doing it is by brushing his wet nose with ours. But of course, You can give him as many as you want - well, until he gets tired 🙂 - if your health and his are good.
A cat that is shown daily that it is loved will live happily for a long time 😉.
