Understand your cat’s hidden language through cuddles

The simple pleasure of contact

Pitfall to avoid:  Our tendency to overinterpret every animal behavior.

Fact:  Rubbing sometimes provides  simple sensory satisfaction , especially when the man caresses preferred areas (head, throat, beginning of the tail). It is also a  natural calming technique .  Comparable to that feeling of well-being when you wrap yourself in a soft blanket after a tiring day.

Behavioral modification during gestation

Noticeable change:  Your cat suddenly shows increased affection, more frequent purring… What is the cause?

Physiological reason:  During the gestation period, some females become closer to their owners. Seeking physical contact, wanting closeness, co-sleeping… These attitudes generally reflect their  increased need for protection  and reassurance.

A behavior rich in meaning

When your feline companion rubs against you, it’s never a trivial act. This gesture contains a multitude of messages combining  attachment, communication and territorial claim . By deciphering this silent language, you deepen your relationship and penetrate further into  its intimate and captivating world .
