你的猫爱你吗？看它是否有这些行为吧！

Cats do love their owners, according to science. Look out for these behaviors to prove that your cat truly loves you.

1. Watch how they greet you

One of the most obvious signs that your beloved pet is fond of you, is the way that your cat greets you. When cats greet members of their social group they show signals to indicate friendship and a desire to move closer. Cats also show these signals to humans. A tail held in the upright position shows a friendly intention, indicating familiarity and trust. Some cats also use an upright question mark shaped tail to greet someone they like. Rolling over and showing their belly(腹部) is another gesture 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 an extremely close bond(关系) to you.

2.     △    

Cats use scent to identify members of their social group or family, by sharing a group scent profile. Cats have scent glands(气味腺) on their flanks, head and around their ears, and often rub their heads against people and objects that are familiar and comforting. Does your cat rub its head or side against your legs? The soft sensation you feel against your calves(小腿肚) is actually your cat identifying you as a friend and is a sign that it loves you.

3. They get up close

Cats are very protective of their personal space and don’t like unwelcome guests. If a cat allows you to get close to it, that suggests a close bond, particularly where the contact happens often or lasts long. A cat shows its deep trust by curling up on your lap for a nap. Besides, it’s licking your hand or face can be a show of love.
