In daily life, we often find that cats have a special behavior, that is, to get close to people. This behavior may seem simple, but it actually contains a wealth of emotions and intentions for cats. This article will demystify this behavior for you and explain what it really means for cats to get close to you.
1. Confirm identity Cats are very territorial animals, and they mark their territory and identify themselves through smell. When cats come up to smell you, they are actually sniffing you to confirm your identity. At the same time, it is also the cat's understanding of you, through the smell to perceive your mood, health and whether you are the same kind or not.
2. Express intimacy and affection There are many ways for cats to express intimacy and affection, and getting close to you is one of them. Cats express trust and dependence on you by smelling you and establishing a more intimate connection with you. Sometimes you will find that cats will even lick your face or hands with their tongues, which is the cat's way of telling you: you are my good friend, I like you!
3. Seek Attention Cats are animals that need a lot of attention, and when they come close to smell you, they are sometimes telling you: Look at me!Give me more attention!At this time, you can give your cat appropriate responses, such as petting them and playing with them, so that they can feel your attention and love.
4. Raise a warning Although cats are generally friendly, they are also natural hunters and have a strong sense of territory. If you inadvertently encroach on your cat's territory or make them feel threatened, they may come up to sniff you to warn them. If you notice warning signs such as airplane ears or tail slapping on the ground when your cat smells you, please respect their territory and keep an appropriate distance.
In short, it is a very interesting behavior for cats to get close to you, and it hides a lot of emotions and intentions behind it. Understanding the meaning behind this behavior can help us better build a close relationship with our cats. When your cat comes close to smell you, give them a warm smile and a hug to make them feel your love and care.
