What It Means When A Cat Sniffs Your Face

It’s no secret that cats can be curious and clever creatures but to date, there’s still a lot of mystery surrounding some of their strange behaviors.

However, animal behavioralists have been hard at work studying them and have figured out what some of these behaviors mean.

So, if your cat sniffs your face, or winks at you, this is what it’s trying to tell you…

Change In Meow

Male or female cats tend to be at their worst behavior during mating season. Female cats “in heat” will look for a mate so they’ll start rubbing on furniture more and being more sweet than usual, but they also tend to meow in loud, coarse voices.

So, if you have a cat that’s locked up indoors all the time, it might get aggressive as it wants to go outside and meow loudly for a mate.

Expecting Constant Massages And Pampering

Like humans, cats also love to relax. Their love to unwind makes them a demanding pet as they always want massages and gentle strokes on their chin, ears, head, and belly. What you might not know is that when cats meet other cats, they greet by rubbing their heads together to transfer their scent.

So petting them in these areas makes them feel comfortable and connected.

Lying On Your Laptop

Cats love to lie down and purr themselves to sleep in warm places. So it’s no surprise that once they find out your laptops warm, they’ll claim it as their own! But don’t let them fool you, they also do this move as a tactic to divert your attention to them.

Sneaky clever cats…

The Purr

If you have a cat that purrs a lot, then congratulations! You’re doing something right! When cats purr, they’re displaying signals of relaxation and happiness. You might notice their purr will intensify when they’re stroked on your lap and treated with their favorite goodies.

Purring makes them feel happy and wanted and they like to let you know that they’re content.
