Cats are usually individualists and follow their own paths. They are not as submissive as dogs and do not show affection in such an obvious way, but every cat lover will surely say that he knows perfectly well when his purring four-legged friend is happy, when he shows him love, he can also find out when he is angry and he knows it’s better not to interact with him then.
Why does the cat rub against legs and furniture?
The characteristic behavior of cats is rubbing against the furniture and legs of the household members. Cat owners admit that their pets do this when they are happy and feel safe. This is because cats are extremely territorial animals, which means that their immediate surroundings are very important to them, they do not want intruders in it, etc. It is not difficult not to notice that cats start dripping on the furniture and other objects mentioned above from the mouth. It is there (as well as the base of the tail) that the scent glands are located, thanks to which cats scent their territory. This smell is felt only by other animals.
It’s also about getting attention
When the cat owner comes home, most cats immediately run to him, some first sniff and then start rubbing against their legs. It’s also about getting rid of foreign smells and leaving your own, but also about attracting the attention of a longing animal. The quadruped demands tenderness, it is worth saying hello to him then, stroking him, hugging him, saying something to him. This way they can also communicate that they are hungry or thirsty and the bowl is empty.
Some cats also rub against each other, but this only applies to friendly cats and situations when they are in a good mood, fed and feel safe.
