Cats are one of the most loved pets. However, it’s important to know enough about their emotional needs and to ensure their happiness. So, how does your cat communicate when it’s happy? Here are the secrets to understanding cat language…
WHAT DO CATS DO WHEN THEY ARE HAPPY?
Cats exhibit a variety of behaviors when they are happy. A happy cat usually sleeps in a soft and relaxed position, with its eyes half-closed and a peaceful expression. If its tail is erect and not wagging, this can also indicate that it is in a good mood.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS YOU CAN RECOGNIZE WHEN A CAT IS HAPPY?
- Tail movements
Cats express their emotions by using their tails in various ways. A happy cat may exhibit a loose tail shape, while a cat that wags or curls its tail upwards may be anxious or frightened.
- Body Language
Cats’ body language also plays an important role in expressing their emotions. A happy cat will usually lie in a relaxed position with its ears relaxed. A frightened cat pulls its ears back and shrinks its body.
- Eating and Drinking Habits
Cats’ eating and drinking habits are also signs of happiness. A happy cat will eat and drink regularly, while an anxious cat may lose its appetite.
- Toys
Providing loving toys is also important for cats’ happiness. By playing with toys, cats stay active both physically and mentally. This can also increase their happiness.
- Interest
Giving your cat loving attention is one of the most important elements for their happiness. By giving your cat frequent loving touches, caresses and attention, you can make them feel loved. This will make your cat feel happy and safe.
WHAT DO CATS LIKE?
- Sleeping for hours
Whether they are kittens or adults, cats love to sleep for hours on end. Because sleep is their most natural form of rest, it’s their way of unwinding from the day. Especially if your cat has a cozy and soft bed, he or she may enjoy kicking and sleeping all day long.
- Sit by the Window and Watch Outside
Cats’ favorite activity is definitely sitting by the window and looking out. If your cat goes to the window during the day and sits there for hours, don’t spoil their fun by going over to them. They love to sit there and watch the outside.
- Going to High Places
Cats love to go to high places, stand there and look down. If you can’t find your cat at home, we recommend looking up and looking over things. They even like to climb on top of the door and try to keep their balance when the door moves.
- Drinking water from a glass or tap
Instead of drinking from their own bowl, cats like to drink from different places. When you fill up your cat’s water bowl, instead of drinking from it, it will wander around the house looking for water as if to say “where else can I get water?”. When he sees a full glass on the table, he immediately goes to it and puts his paw in it to drink.
- Standing in Sun-Hit Areas
Cats love to lick themselves in sunlit areas. Cats naturally like warmth, so they think that the sun is a source of warmth and they always prefer sunlit areas. They usually like to go and kick themselves in sunny places rather than in dark places.
- Playing with the Owner
Cats’ second name is “play”. They enjoy playing games so much that they can just play all day long. Instead of playing alone, they prefer their owner to play with them and do their best to include them in the game. They will go up to their owner, snuggle up to them and try to get them to move to play with them. Cats often enjoy being chased, and after a while your cat may even start chasing you. They enjoy playing with small balls, colorful and attractive strings, pieces of paper and bags.
- Eating Fresh Food
Cats are very fond of their stomachs and love to eat. They are very careful that their food is tasty and fresh, and if it’s not what they want, they don’t like it. That’s why you need to pay a lot of attention to whether the food is fresh or not.
- Love Your Cat When Your Cat Wants It
Cat owners say that when they go to pet their cats, they are not very happy about it. They really don’t like it, because he likes to be petted when he wants to be petted, not when you want him to be petted.
- Licking themselves with Appetite
Even though cats lick themselves to clean themselves, they really enjoy it. Especially after petting your cat, they lick the areas you like and clean themselves thoroughly. It is very pleasant and relaxing because it feels clean.
