Some cat owners are wondering how to know if a pet is happy to live in their home and interact with family members. Experts in the field of cat behavior have named several universal signs that will answer this question, writes The Spruce Pets.
One of these signs is a high-pitched meow. If a cat makes loud noises, it wants to get your attention and “talk”. Frustration, ill health, or a cat’s demand for food is expressed in lower sounds.
A relaxed body position indicates comfort. If the cat is resting in an open place, spreading freely and not flinching at every sound, then she feels safe in this room.
Good signs of a happy cat are curiosity and activity: a happy cat shows interest in its surroundings, sniffs and touches all new objects in the house, and sometimes guests. Playfulness is also a sure sign of happiness. If a cat wants to play, then all its other needs are satisfied. As cats grow older and reach middle or old age, this activity subsides, but may still occur for the rest of their lives.
Another sign is the choice of a place to sleep. If a cat prefers to sleep with family members, there is reason to rejoice: this means that the animal feels safe next to people.
Regular self-care and a good appetite also indicate that the cat is healthy and happy with everything.
