🐾 When a Cat Rubs Against You, This Is What It Really Means…

• Walking toward the food bowl

• Meowing

• Leading you somewhere

Cats quickly learn that physical affection gets your attention.

• Strengthen social bonds

• Share group scent

• Establish familiarity

Your cat treats you like one of their own.

You’re part of their inner circle.
