5 Obvious Signs a Cat Loves Their Human

Cats can be just as adoring as dogs!

Cats aren't always known for their affectionate natures, but that doesn't mean that a kitty won't show love like other pets do. In fact, cats have their very own ways of expressing love! If you know what to look for, these subtle signs might show themselves more frequently than you think.

Internet famous British Shorthair cat @ares.the.floof took to TikTok alongside his owner to tell their viewers about 5 ways a cat shows their love. Some of these signs have never even crossed our minds before!

Aww! Ares is the cutest little model for this video, and it's so sweet that he shows all 5 loving behaviors around his mama. Clearly, the two of them are incredibly close!

"THE BIG STRETCHHHH," wrote @user567895643. Wasn't it the cutest? Animal stretches are adorable as is, but now that we know it has meaning, it's even more special to see.

@Amandaskol88 asked, "the big stretch thing is that true?" We're glad you asked! It certainly makes sense that an animal would stretch when they feel comfortable, but it's also important to double-check your sources of information.

Ares' mama replied, "Yes! It’s one of the reasons they do a big stretch." Who knew? Now we'll never look at stretching--or any of these affectionate behaviors--the same way ever again. And we have a feeling other viewers feel the same way!

"Aww! My cats do all those things mentioned," said @intuitiveowl. "Love my fur babies." Being a pet owner is so special! There are oh-so-many ways cats, dogs, and other animals can show their favorite people their love, and it never, ever gets old.
