What It Means When A Cat Sniffs Your Face

Cats can be curious creatures but to date, there’s no proper conclusion as to why cats behave weirdly at times!

To figure out why your cat behaves a certain way, take note of some of these behaviors that might give you some insight into your little paw mate!

When your cat flips around either in front of you or in between your legs while standing, it’s not just a sign of how adorable he is.

It could be a sign of two things; he’s signaling how safe he feels when he’s with you, or maybe he’s just an attention seeker who would go to any extent to have your eyes fixed on him!

Winking Or Blinking

When your cat winks at you, you might wonder whether he’s flirting with you or has something in his eye.

However, a slow cat-eye blink is nothing more than a non-threat signal that felines use with each other and the people they’re comfortable with. You can reciprocate the same signal to your cat with a slow blink.

Cats love to sleep almost anywhere they encounter comfort and warmth! That being said, how often have you noticed your cat napping in an old carton box or your laundry basket?

This can be because they feel that they are cozy and safe. This odd behavior can be traced back to their ancestors, who would sleep in their hideouts to avoid predators and unwanted disturbances.

They Ignore You

If you believe only humans use ignorance to draw extra attention, then you’re wrong because cats know this trick too!

If your cat ignores you and never addresses you back with a purr or a ‘meow,’ it probably means that you did something that offended him.

Perhaps, these notoriously independent furry beings need a little time to themselves, and it’s always advisable to leave your cat alone when he acts this way.
