Human: I like my personal space.
Cat: What a coincidence! I also like your personal space…
Hahaha!!! Very good😅!
Hahahaha so true
THIS is the way!
My cat craves for sleeping between my legs. He loves my personal private space 😂
My cat craves kisses. He was the one to start asking for kisses. I let him come to me for kisses. But he isn't as wild about hugs. He comes to me for cuddles, which means he lays on my chest, and I stroke him briefly (don't want to over stimulate him) and give him kisses when he offers his cheek. He likes to sit there cheek to cheek with me. He is my emotional support animal, and I am his emotional support human.
Cats are pretty fickle about affection. You just have to know when they want it. One thing to remember is you don't own the cat, the cat owns you. The last cat I had who passed in 2015, wasn't a lapcat from 2000 (6 week old kitten) until 2011 after my mom got sick, and had to be hospitalized for a week, and when she came home, he was nothing but a lapcat, it's just that he would alternate between the two of us.
@@robertbroughton1443 Rob, what happened?
@@RachaelMorgan-om4xw he had a tumor in his right hind leg, that we just didn't have the money to get him treatment, so we did what we could to make him as comfortable as possible at home. Also my mom's health had started declining too. She had early dementia, and right at the begining of the "PANDEMIC", she had a stroke. I had to put her in a nursing home because things got really bad in her recovery, and I was ill equipped to take proper care of her, both physically, and financially, so I had no other choice to give up guardianship of her until she passed.
Aw❤❤❤
Christine, my cat does the same thing. He crawls onto my chest and rubs his face on mine. When I kiss him, he gently bites my nose. His version of a kiss. Then he plops down on my chest and wants to be held.
I kiss my cat on the head and cheeks all the time. He's never seemed to mind. I think he knows I love him and he loves me too. I'm glad I have a sweet loving little guy.
Cats have the most kissable little cheeks. And you gotta say “are you my thick neck lil fella” while you rub noses😂😂😂
I’m a loser, and I love it😂😂😂
@@boughtbot2639 Growing up, my two cats would like us in the family to nose kiss them. Just an easy light kiss and they liked that. Puff and Muffin were a Maincoon and Muffin, a Siamese with big blue eyes.
We got a rescue kitten of about 9 months old, and immediately, she would give us 'kisses'. If you lean in, she reaches her mouth towards yours and lets you kiss her. Sweetest thing ever! After a year, she still does it.
Both my kitties do the same thing! Though my male cat tries to actually go up into my nose! He presses so hard to push his face through my nose but he can't because my nose is too small! But both kitties know what it means when I give them kisses and they give me kisses right back!
@@wintermoon7003 Mine too! When I pet him, he will sometimes look up at me and I'll lower my head down and kind of touch our noses together. He will then rub his head against my face, purring like an engine the whole time.
My cat will put his mouth close to my mouth when I ask for a smooch. He will also randomly give me smooches without me asking and it is adorable
when he gets his mouth or rather nose close to you it means he wants to smell you, my kitten does this everytime i get back home and it's the cutest thing.
@@sandiego2380 No...he is giving me smooches and sometimes he will very gently put his paw on my cheek before the smooch
I give air kisses to my cat. She understands it is a sign of love and affection, even when I aim them at her from across the room. She recognizes the sound and will immediately give me a long slow blink in response.
Mine will do the same thing! She and my other one will both come over to me if I do make those kissy faces at them as well! And they purr and rub all over me! I LOVE it!
I had to ask my cat permission to kiss his head. He would lean forward and gratefully accept my kiss. Lol😂❤
I always ask my cat "can I get a kiss" then I kiss his head. He knows and he seems to like it
consent is everything , you are a top tier hooman!😽🫶🏾
Same ❤❤
I've lived with cats for most of my life (I'm 75) but never kissed one, but at the last visit to the vet, he kissed our cat!!! This great big hairy arsed Aussie guy picked her up and gave her a big hug and a kiss!
So many questions....What is your cat's name?....Why did you take him/her to a vet?... And how do you know he/she had an hairy arse...? 🤭
@@RachaelMorgan-om4xw I want to know too 😂
@@angelwings7930 Angel, I have never seen an Aussie's arse.... However, I have met several Aussies who were arses 😺
@@RachaelMorgan-om4xw 😂😂😂
My late 14 year old MaineCoon, Lucie, slept in my arms every night. Once she was comfy, she would lean back so I could kiss her forehead. Then I’d bow my head down and she would lick my forehead. In a very few minutes, she would purr herself to sleep and the purr would turn to a soft snore. That sound, I miss the most. 💔
When aliens discover earth and ask to speak to our leaders they’ll go “No no we mean the four legged felines you clean up after and serve. They have trained you well”
There was a time when cats were worshiped as Gods, they never forgot. lol
YES lol that’s why they were low key worshiped in ancient Egypt they saw us as good feeders and cuddlers and providers so they learned how to swoon us to still low key worship them and provide for them to this day lol I love cats/am excited to introduce my cats to aliens someday they really are our masters lmao
Exactly! All they are missing are opposable thumbs and the dew claw is getting there! 😂
@UserKitling If cats had opposable thumbs they wouldn’t need humans at all anymore. We’d be sadly worse for it as then they’d likely succeed in their plan to take over the world.
@@kuraimaskorner3757 I dunno about not needing us. I think intelligent beings like cats have gotten so used to us cleaning up their poop they’d keep us around for that.
My cat always enjoyed snuggles, kisses, and scratches. He purred, made biscuits, exposed his belly, rolled from side to side, and often meowed if I stopped.
My alien being loves to be held and sung to. She'll reach out and put her paw next to my mouth if I stop. She has almost opposable thumb paws and grabs my finger like a baby, too 🥺
I'm sorry, but cats DO hug. They understand hugs quite well when presented as a form of affection instead of restraint. If my cat is cold and needs to be warmed after eating a big meal, it's understood that my hug isn't an attempt to make him regurgitate but a gentle form of affection when overlapping his tail with my arm and holding his tail between my body and my arm, it often causes him to purr with his head nestled against me, he loves to mark my glasses with his cheeks while he's in my arms. I can't see much afterwards but I get the message quite well, he reciprocates a hug quite nicely, thank you.
I’ve had cats that will put their paws around my neck and hug me even when I’m just sitting there.
I mean, my cat frequently invades MY space so he can lick my face and bite my ear, so I'm going to keep giving him kisses
An alternative to kisses is the nose bop, which is more of a greeting to cats, but can be a bridge between human kisses and cat greetings. My rescue of 7 months (7yo now) gave me the nose bop just the other day. I do kiss her head from time to time. It was slower to get to this point, she had a hard background, and took some time to relax into her forever home, and I gave her plenty of space in the beginning, letting her determine most of the cuddles etc. It really is about reading your cat, understanding their needs, past situation. We are a bonded human-cat pair now, we actually have been since the adoption, but she needed the time to know she was safe, and that it was forever.
My Ginger cat takes any affection but my Calico definitely prefers nose bops. Starts purring immediately after. She also has that face where when she stares at you, you don’t know if she’s telepathically begging for more food or plotting your demise 😂
@@mikethehunter5212 I assume the ginger is a male, they are such sooks and love sponges (I miss my tuxedo boy). The females, always a bit arm's length with the whole love thing. I could not do much, rescue picked me, she is in charge!
When I go to bed at night, as I walk past my cat, he stretches up his head and neck, squint his eyes, and scrunches up his face and lifts his paw up to grab my hand as I lean down and give him smooches.
I don't think you know cats that well. My cat kisses me all the time. I actually have to put my hand over my face and say no more kisses, that's enough.
Same my kitten does the same
I agree and my cats do wrap their arms around each other as well.
Yeah same. My cats give kisses, and hugs. I sure they learned from me raising them, but still...
It's all in your head
Same here. Especially in the morning!
I kiss all my cats especially on their whiskers and they love it! This kiss, this kiss....eternal bliss.💕
My cat tilts her head and presses it against my lips
And screams if I don't kiss her and looks me directly in the eyes
"In the cat world, personal space is a big deal"
Meanwhile, my cat sits on my keyboard headbutting me for attention
Not the same thing. Cats often have the inherent belief that what is his is his and what is yours is also his.
My young yellow boy LOVES a quick smooch and hug but my older tuxedo puts his paw up like a stop sign!😂
This is the same approach and tactic I use on dates.🤣
Your funny comment caused unexpected laughter as I randomly roamed TH-cam late at night!
😂Does that work with your dates?
@@melinda3735 A gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell.😘
Cats will not understand a "kiss" as we do, because it's not something that is a part of their normal natural activities. However, cats are extremely intelligent. If you kiss them repeatedly, they'll eventually say to themselves "Hey wait a minute. i get it. This is my human's way of showing me love and affection. Therefore, i accept".
I can't let my nose get close to my cat's mouth. Though she's quite loving, she can't resist a mischievous lightning-fast nip. The first and only time, I felt her lower canines pierce inside my nostrils and when I saw blood, hied myself immediately to my doc's clinic for an antibiotic shot. She does like my lips on top of her head, and purrs at feeling warm breath at the bases of her ears. I think this reminds her of her mama's attentions when she was tiny. I think...🤔
My Late wife and I used to kiss our Cats on the top of their head. Their reaction was to just put their paws up to our face without any claws. I will never forget them.They bought joy,(And worry when they were out) to our life. They used like gentle head buts as well. I hope that God blesses each and every one of them.
One of my cats kissed from the start and slept on my arm all night.
My new little boy kisses and stands on his back legs and puts his paws around my neck, hugging? Yes I believe that.
He sleeps with me too and even on chest .😊
This is one of the best videos on this subject I've viewed. 60+ years raising cats, like people every cat has a distinct personality.
Yes, they do. I am noticing how much the color of the cat plays in determining their personalities. Have you ever known a tortie cat, and their tortitude? Make it a lilac one and you got yourself a live sassy wire.
Yes , animals have a different personality just like us . I have 12 cats and 3 dogs, everyone has a different personality, although some have similar personalities and others are completely different like day and night 🥳😻🥳😻
......😇 and little 😈 ... but I love them equally 😁
@@edie4321Many experts say the color of the cat makes no difference in personality, but I’ve had cats my whole life and I beg to differ.
@@ellenosceola5707, Yeah, and we learned how accurate these "experts" are in 2020. Yes, I'll take our experience over anything an "expert" says.
My torties have been the most affectionate loving cats of all I have had. The dilute ones have been more sassy as well though.
Both my girls have gotten kisses from me from day 1. They both seem to understand that it is a deeply loving intimate gesture from me to them, and I get unsolicited kisses often!
My cat now gives me lip to lip kisses, especially when nuzzling up for cuddles. He definitely knows it's a loving gesture. It's adorable. All of my cats bow heads for kisses, too.
Head bump and air kisses are our favorite . Then at night he hugs. But picking him up with hug not good. So we do the 2 second hug. That works.
so true that cats that bond with their owners do adapt and figure out what human kisses mean and when cats figure it out they go wild for it with passion and do so with all the love they can muster to express to their beloved human companion but yes true that cats do see kisses as invasive and rude when they are not familiar to human interaction so meeting them half way will mean everything to a cat one is trying to bond with. :)
My cats definitely understands kisses as a sign of affection. Princess will headbump into them, and my boy Mattie will respond to "kiss kiss?" by presenting the top of his head for a kiss (sometimes).
I find it helps them understand it as affection if you alternate kisses and cheek rubs( the way they do to scent-mark you). Unless they're super antsy, they pick up that it's our weird hooman way of showing love. 😺
When my cats lick each other's heads, I say, "kiss kiss." My last cat would mash his entire nose and mouth on my face at times. If I said kiss kiss to him he would lick my face. I've been lucky about ending up with affectionate felines.
My kitty lets me kiss him on the side of his little mouth. (So cute that little kitty mouth! ) but only when he’s sleepy , already cozied in and half way to dream land. Then I can kiss and love him up 😽💕. The only time he allowed me to kiss him while awake was when I’d come home from a 3 night hospital stay ( the first -and only, time we’d ever been apart). Then he let me kiss him all over his face and let me carry him around which is not normally tolerated for longer than 7 seconds ) my guy is pretty smart. Comes when called. Every time. So grateful for him.
I have 2 female Snowshoe Siamese and they love kisses and when they kiss, they want to kiss on the face, usually on the lips. Don't try to turn your head, because they will use their "knives of death" to hold your face in place. They are twins, so if you escape from one, the other will get you. 😂
I had 2 Seal Points many years ago, and mine would also hold my face between their paws to kiss me! ❤❤
I have a flame point Siamese and he loves kisses
My cat even sometimes purrs a little when I kiss her and stretches out her front paws after I kiss her and seems very relaxed. She seems to really enjoy it. She has never pulled away whenever I have kissed her. I think she understands what that gesture means and knows that it’s a sign of affection.
I'm constantly giving my cat kisses. He starts purring as soon as I do so I guess he's fine with it 😊
We have had our rescue cat since 2012, plenty of time to get to know him. It took him half an hour to settle in, slept with us from night one, still does. If he is relaxed, he likes a kiss on the top of the head, not in his face, also loves a chin chuck on request.
The art is in knowing when he has had enough, he decides when petting has to stop. Still cuddles close at night, wakes us at 0530 for food. He snuggles under the throw for warmth, we have to take care not to sit on him when we go to bed.
I don't sleep properly until husband and cat join me, we form a mammalian heap of cuddle, especially lovely when it is cold.
My cat still doesn't like being hugged.He will slow blink with me..He asks to have his tummy rubbed several times a day .My cat didn't know what to think of a kiss at first, but he loves getting kisses on his little head and cheeks now! 👍❤️👍
I kiss my kitties all the time! The male is a lover boy and welcomes all affection. The female has slowly warmed up to kisses and hugs and no long tries to escape. :) They both sleep with me and usually right up against me. Cats are such sweet and fun animals to share your life with!
My cat is the exception that proves the rule... his tail thrashes about like crazy but he loves the fuss and keeps coming back for more...
I don't have any cat but I pet sitting cats. One of them had good connection with me. When I want to kiss him, I would ask him first: kiss? Then he was thinking and deciding yes or no. If yes, he moved his head toward to me to let me kiss his head. If no, he would just walked away. But often were yes! For whatever reason, cats love me, even having a walk on the side walk, there is always a cat appear and run to me for a petting.
If I say, "Give me a kiss," my cat Raven puts her head against my lips. Then she rubs her face against my cheeks.
I say kisses and my ginger will give me a kiss on the mouth! 😺
Ten years ago, my 7 year old son and i wanted to adopt a little Kitten. At the Animal Shelter my son was instantly falling in love with a approx 1-2 year old black Feline and wanna to take this Cat. The shelter assistent told me, okay we seperate the Cat with it sibling and we could take her in. I ask what he meant and he showed me the sibling, a black male. I couldn't allow to seperate them and we took them both. The Feline fit in our home easy but the Male not really. It took us about 6 month until he was ready to let us near. It was a vital lesson for my son but he learned that he has to wait for the Cat making the first step...today the two are now almost 12 year old but both are healthy, playfull. Cats are so special but once they love you they will never let you down❤❤
All my cats get kisses - some of them love it, others simply allow it as protocol
I am kissing my cat all the time. She loves it, I love it.
The so-called "experts" don't always know what they're talking about. For example, the speaker in this video likely never even had a cat.
I did some research into why the Ragdoll breed was named that. It says, they go limp like a ragdoll when you pick them up. LOL!!! I have a four-year-old Ragdoll. She's the love of my life, and I've had her since she was a little bitty kitten. But she won't go limp like a ragdoll. In fact, if you try to pick her up, you'd better have a first-aid kit handy. But I kiss her on the top of the head all the time. She smiles back. She knows how much I love her.
I agree with the video but ive had TWO cats who, when I said the word "kiss" they would come up to me, press their nose against mine and run away. TWO. I cant explain it but I got to accept that as a cat kiss and that was fine. But when I went in for a kiss, yes, cats saw that as intruding in their space. Thats the best lesson about cats, let them do things on their own terms and time.
My angel started to give me her kisses first, and I get them all of the time. I know that she loves ❤️ them. I'm mommy and I am truly the love of her life 💓 and she's mine. So that's not completely true with all felines 😊 But thanks for the insights.
One of my cats puts up with kisses, another gives kisses, and the third headbutts my mouth to ask for kisses
Our cat will boop her nose on our nose, but kisses are out of the question.
Hahh! I call these “Eskimo kisses”. Ours does it when he’s trying to butter us up for treats or something! 😺
@MrBROTHERFELDER it's amazing that you say that, because our prissy princess does it for the exact same reason! We're on to them now.
@@apocalypsepromotions7676 😺
My late Mary used to love kisses, never forced them on her but she gave them free (if you wanted to or not). If she had the chance she would keep going and even try the Frenchie. Gosh I miss her lovely kisses...
I had a cat that gave human hugs.
I had a dog that gave human kisses. He was so special. He purred, too. I miss Spike.
My lil alien being gives hugs too. It's one of the sweetest things.
My cat and I kiss all the time. I've two, one of them is a CAT cat, but my kissy kitty is different and he purrs when I kiss him. He's always following me around, exposes his belly to be caressed, etc.
My cat LOVES kisses got her as a kitten, so she’s been used to it for basically he whole life, she wants kisses.
Kisses all the time for my trio of fur friends 😻😻😻
I kiss my cat on the top of her nose, and she seems to have adapted to it, she begins to groom me. ❤
My little prince prefers tummy gentle rubs.😅
My non cuddly cat pressed her whole face into my mouth when I was crying , then licked my chin. Lol
I was doing the ugly cry once -- snot running down my face -- and kitty came up on my chest to wipe his face in my snotty tears.
Awww lmao
I accidentally trained my parents cat to accept kisses as a kid. I would make kissy noises before kissing her head between the ears and after a little while when I'd make the kissy noise she would come closer and press her forehead to my mouth.
Moved out of my parents house almost 6 years ago and when I was home recently for dads birthday I was giving her love and made the noise and bam, soft headbutt to my mouth 😂❤
My cat loves to cuddle. When I get home and sit down, he comes right over and sits on my lap purring up a storm. I give him lots of pets and we often boop our noses together and I give him a couple of slow, happy kisses. I love those interactions. He gets quite sassy when it is feeding time though, and I know how to read his body language and not try and kiss him when he is hungry, lol
My cat Doodls would kiss me on the lips every time I asked for one!😻
Most loving Cat owners might disagree that their Cats love kisses, but not all Cats are the same and I love how this video will help new owners who might be unsure of how to look after and show respect for their furry new baby.
Thank you! ❤🎉
I say "gis a kiss" and then pucker up - giving my cat the option! He rarely ignores that and is more than willing - then waits for me to blow raspberries into his fur a few times (particularly on his head between the ears lol) 🤗❤🤗
I have three grey cats living in my house and I give them a kiss in the morning and say good morning and I give them a kiss in the evening and say good night. No problems so far but I understand where you are coming from.
My cat kisses me and wraps it’s paws around my arm.
I have two cats I got from a rescue organization when they were 4 months old. The boy is more outgoing, assertive, cuddly and just a playful ham. His sister was more shy, or rather, observant and cautious, yet incredibly playful and curious. Because of her desire to stay away, I approached her more carefully because I wanted her to feel safe. I observed her as much as she observed my family of 4 and treated her as she seemed she wished to be treated.
With regards to affection, I noticed that she would become rigid when picked up and never purred in my arms so I never picked her up, and if I did it was for very brief moments. Still, she would let me pet her if I approached her slowly and quietly let her know I was coming. She hates loud noises. So I responded to whatever she tolerated. I noticed that she would try to bury her food after eating and I learned that it's an instinctual form of hiding one's food to save it for later. Since her brother was assertive, I made sure to separate their bowls and pick up her food and at times redirect her brother back to his food. I think these two things alone helped her learn to trust me. Within 2-4 months we had a pretty good bond that, now at nearly two years continues to develop and deepen.
Recently, I've observed her with how she observes the snuggly kissy affection I give her brother. He just loves kisses, massages and squishy cuddles. I didn't start with kisses though. I started with using my nose to mimic the sweeping licking gestures they would give eachother. Then I gave him kisses when he got comfortable with that. Now as soon as I mention kisses he starts begging for it, purring and rolling around. His sister saw this so I decided to test her receptivity and do a softer, slower modified version of this. I don't hold her or make it so that she can't move, she can always move away at any time. I just started with nuzzling and if she didn't like it she'd moved on. If she liked the one kiss I would continue but stop fairly soon to prevent overwhelm. Just yesterday she wanted my attention while I was working and I absent-mindedly petted her side. Within moments she was licking my hand from fingers to forearm. I thought it was the sweetest gesture. 🥰
A side note, I recently started using talking buttons and our ability to connect and communicate has grown. I always feel special when she looks for me. Especially so when, at 2 AM, she pushed the buttons "want cuddles." Just adorable. 🥹
Tldr, as this video suggests, I totally agree that it's helpful to let them set the pace for your connection. Your relationship with your cat can become incredibly deep if you give it time and "listen" to what they're trying to tell you through their body language. ❤
My cat is a rescue Kitten from the street. She and her sister slept on me from the very first night on. Both had the flue, just one made it with intense care and many visits to the vet. So we were very close from the beginning. She taught me a lot (like long blinks) and have the feeling she really knows me, after 11 years.
Kissing wouldn't happen out of the blue (for her) but just in very intense cuddling.
I’ve had my little guy since he was a baby & he actually runs up to me to get a kiss & sometimes I have to tell him to stop ❤
All the time... I usually get a good head bunt when I get close.
My cat gives me kisses. I usually kiss him on the top of the head...he loves it. He will kiss me back. I dip my head , and he nibbles the top of my head. It melts my heart every time. :
I've kissed my cute kittycat ❤
My cat Midnight when she was alive would always paw at my leg and face for attention. I miss her everyday. She passed Oct 1 2021.
I'm really sorry to hear about Midnight. It sounds like she had her sweet way of making sure you knew she wanted some love and attention, pawing at your leg and face. Those little gestures are the ones that stick with us, aren't they? I hope you find comfort in remembering all the special moments you shared with Midnight. 🐾💔
Sht, my cat loves my kisses. By now, he definitely knows what they mean, and he loves them
I mimic head buts with my cat, In fact over time I have gotten him to give me a head but on the face or forehead by saying the phrase "CAT KISS". He knows about 4 words well. He sleeps next to me at night and expects me to have my arm around him.
I kissed all our cats 50+ times a day, they all loved it when I kissed their faces or head, or put their ears between my lips haha(obv their ears are clean, just the outside of the ear, not licking the ear just showing affection. I don't kiss their mouth though. Not kissing a random animal in the wild though, I don't want to die from a feline disease. Trust me, the cats love kisses. It's like a kid, you have to show affection. This now adult cat, LOVES to rub it's scent on me after kisses, but I am the only one who gives them kisses so.
This is good info, I learned more. It seems like cats are like introverts in a lot of respects but not all.
My boy Sunny swishes his tail like a mad thing when he's content & happy. I do know that the swishing tail thing is generally a cat warning sign. These cat friends of ours are all quite unique. There's great pleasue in getting to know your cat - which I'm sure you all know!😻😻
A full swish of the tail is saying don't do that, a vibrating tail tip is saying I'm going to pounce.
My late Russian blue loved kisses all the time. I said" I know, you want 40 kisses right on your fotehead!" He loved kisses every night. He had them from kittenhood, and passed a few weeks shy of his 20th borthday.
My cat is deceased now, but she recognized kisses and wanted them. She had no personal space bubble. Lol
It sounds like your cat was a real sweetheart, always ready for some love and affection! 😊 It's beautiful that she recognized and sought out kisses-what a special bond you must have shared. Thank you for sharing such a touching memory of your beloved cat. 🐾💕
@@Feline_Fanatics lol as long as you weren't a dog. She beat up a full sized newfoundland for play wrestling with her son. 🤣
Me: Want to sit alone for some time to play a game.
My cat: Kisses... now.
That was hilarious thank you 😂....i kiss my cats all the time
Tiger can't stand it and Mittens loves it....😂....
Yes, do the “cat kiss” with my cats. I also did this with my WESTIE.
My cat kisses me all of the time 😂 I mean she does it in her own way - by violently ramming her nose into my face, but it is done with with a tonne of affection. And she loves getting kisses back too
My cat does exactly the same thing!
My cat licks my lips and she loves to have me sniff her neck and she sniffs the inside of my ears and tickles my ears with her whiskers , she's so silly ! ❤
I give my hugs and kisses at the same time of day. I have one cat and two dogs and all three of them lineup. When I leave for the day, I give hugs kisses, and a treat. At the end of the day everyone comes to the bedroom, I usually carry the dogs like babies. My kitty is not a fan of being carried but now, after realizing that is the routine she calms down in this also carried to the bedroom when it is time for bed, I crate the dogs with lots of hugs and kisses. And kitty sits at the door for me to pick her up. Give her a nice hug and a kiss before I open the door and she leaves. If I open the door first, she will sit there for her hug and kiss. Then when she goes out to the kitchen, she will find an interactive toy with treats inside usually a little kibble and some CBD treats. Pretty sweet I’ve gotten my cat trained for her hugs and kisses. I also trained her to use the toilet yay.
My cat actually does wrap her paws around me when snuggling. She also leans the top of her head in for a kiss.
Kisses seem like grooming and light licking to cats, and they do grow to liking kisses
Before I kissed my cay we went to the movies a few times. Long walk, had a favorite song …then it happen😅
I have always had cats. All of them great me and touch their noses to my nose. I never bother them unless they come to me. I know when they are asking for something, cats communicate by voice and action. I say "show me" and follow them to the door, food area, give them attention and brush them. Very smart animals. I also keep snakes. They do not hurt the snakes and the snake do not hurt them. Some of my kitties have groomed me and gently put their paw on my face to show affection. No kisses from me, but cuddles, grooming and good care. Very familiar with the Slow Blink when my cat is with me. Only one cat now, he is 17, loves attention and he is sitting on my chair in back of me now. He is purring with content.
I ask my cat for "morning kisses" almost every morning. She basically bumps her nose against mine when I ask. And she only does it in the morning.
When my cats got older, they hugged me when I picked them up.
My cat & I kiss & caress all the time, she even understands "where's my kisses?"😅
oh wow, i kiss them and they kiss me back, i've had cats all of my life, currently 5 at home and 3 at my workplace, and many strays, some of them love to be kissed because they come and ask for it! same with dogs, i have dogs, too, but esp. the street dogs i take care of, they loooove to be kissed.❤
I kiss my two furries. I do love them. They have their own ways of expressing affection.
So true!
My cat loves kisses, but she didn't in the beginning, when I first tried. She used to run when I kissed her; I figured she thought I was gonna bite her, because that's what they do. With time she has come to learn what a kiss is, and now she leans into them and purrs.
That's so heartwarming! 😻 IYour patience and gentle approach clearly made all the difference, turning what was once a scary gesture into a sign of affection and trust.
My cats hated being brushed.... until it became their favorit hour each day ❤ the youngest one was too jelous to watch his big brother get all the love.
My cats and I rub our faces against each other. I learned that they bump foreheads to signify a form of brotherhood.
My cat can't stand getting kisses, she's so up herself. She wants her own space, she hates hugs, she hates being held, she won't sit on my lap, she just wants to be left alone. She only like pats & face- under the chin rubs
My 11 yr old adopted cat def understands human kisses, she’s even goes as far as to lick my lips (ew but cute lol) if I let her to show me she knows what I’m expressing. I was given a domesticated cat that was left on the streets, and she saw this behavior with my first cat and also understands now?? They get a hand sniff, then straight to kisses and it truly seems like they know what I mean
My cat all you go to say is give me a kiss and he will lean in for one. It was my wife's cat and she passed and loves kisses
More accurately. Has my cat ever missed a kiss from me?😸👍❤ The young one kisses me back
