After raising a cat for a long time, I realized that when the cat stretched its waist, it turned out to have these thoughts
Does your kitten often stretch out at you?
- When you come home from a busy day, it stretches in front of you and rubs right at your feet.
- When you say good morning to your kitten every morning, does it also respond to you by stretching lazily?
- And when you call it by name, does it run up to you and occasionally stretch out?
In the past, I thought that when a cat stretches its waist, it should stretch its muscles, just like a human stretches its waist.
But after raising a cat for a long time, I realized that the meaning of stretching is much more than that.
If you want to interact, stretch out
Many times, the cat stretching your waist towards you is actually a signal that you want to interact with it.
You think it's stretching, but in fact, people are coquettish, okay?
It's been a while since you've been talking to a kitten, and the cat comes up to you and stretches just to remind you of this.
And it's also ready to interact with you, touch, hug, the kitten basically won't run!
Muscles stiffen, stretch
Many times, cats do stretch their waists to stretch their muscles.
After all, people are animals that sleep at least 16 hours a day, so it's not too much to stretch, right?
Stretch your waist and flex your muscles so you have more energy to eat, interact and play.
Feel safe and stretch
On the other hand, when the cat stretches its waist, it is actually a very relaxed performance.
You know, when stretching its waist, it is difficult to dodge the attacks of some "hunters".
Fortunately, there are no "hunters" at home, only shovel officers who love it. So the kitten also lets down its guard and can stretch unscrupulously in front of you.
Mark your turf and stretch out
Cats are also very territorial creatures, and they can mark their territory in a variety of ways.
The most common ways include rubbing with your face, kneading with your cat's paws, etc., and stretching is also one of the ways.
Stretching your back will make your cat's paws touch the ground harder, which will also allow more scents to stay on the ground.
Usually, if it is a marked site, its front paws will also be cute to gouge while stretching its waist.
I'm flexible and stretch
There are also some cats who stretch their waists purely to show off their skills and show off their flexibility.
Shovel, are you as loose as I am? I'll give you a sample, and you can stretch it for me?
Generally speaking, cats will only play this little provocation with you when they really love you!
Of course, it's always a winner, and who can compare to the softness of a cat!
Of course, not all cats will stretch in front of their owners, which is probably because trust is not enough.
If it's a newly owned kitten, or an adopted stray cat, they will be a little more wary.
Now you also understand, cats stretch their waists not only to stretch their muscles, but also to express many emotions.
When your cat stretches out to you again, remember to respond to it in time!
