你的猫是否爱你？这些是科学判断依据

Cats do love their owners, according to science. Look out for these behaviors(行为) to know whether your cat truly loves you.

1. Watch how they greet you

How your cat greets you is important. A tail held in the upright position shows a friendly intention(意图). Some cats also use an upright question mark shaped tail to greet someone they like. Rolling over and showing its belly(腹部) is another sign that a cat has trust in you. The feeling when your cat hits the back of your knee can also be a sign that they feel a close bond(关系) to you.

2. ▲

Cats use scent to know members of their social group or family. Cats often rub their heads against people if they trust them. Does your cat rub its head or side against your legs? The cat does it because it regards you as a friend and loves you.

3. They get up close

Cats are very protective of their personal space and don’t like unacquainted people. If a cat allows you to get close to it, that suggests a close bond. A cat shows its deep trust by sleeping near you. Besides, it’s licking your hand or face can be a show of love.
