Body Language:
* Slow blinks: This is a sign of trust and comfort.
* Rubbing against you: They're marking you with their scent, showing you they consider you part of their territory.
* Tail held high: This indicates confidence and happiness.
* Purring: A classic sign of contentment and relaxation.
* Kneading: This instinctive behavior is a sign of comfort and security.
* Head bunting: A gentle head bump is a sign of affection.
* Ears forward: A cat's ears are a good indicator of their mood. Forward ears mean they're alert and interested.
* Open mouth with relaxed jaw: This can indicate relaxation and enjoyment, especially if they're also purring.
Behavior:
* Vocalization: A friendly meow or chirp can indicate affection.
* Playing with you: A cat who wants to play with you is engaged and happy.
* Eating well: A healthy appetite often indicates a cat is enjoying their food and environment.
* Grooming you: Licking or grooming you is a sign of affection and bonding.
* Following you around: A cat that wants to be near you is showing you they like your company.
* Bringing you "gifts" (like dead animals): This is a weird but affectionate way for some cats to show you they care.
Important note: Every cat is an individual, and some are more affectionate than others. If your cat is showing some of these signs, it's likely they enjoy your company or the thing you're offering them. However, it's always important to pay attention to their overall body language and behavior to ensure they're truly comfortable.
