Another way to get our attention is also to rub against our legs to greeting mode when we return home.Researchers have noted that it is a common behavior among wild cats and is a kind of greeting when they meet again after separating, a kind of hug.A way of being kind and show us their joy in seeing us again and how much they have missed us.If they rub against the frames of the doors or walls, then simply they are marking territory.

What does it tell you when it blinks?

The same goes for facial gestures , According to researchers, most people tend to look closely at the expressions of their cats since they tend to think that it is not expressed that way, however, studies have shown that cats usually demonstrate with their facial expression if they are tense, sick, happy or relaxed .

And the meows?

Sometimes adorable, sometimes scared or ask us, cats communicate with us with a very special language: the meow .According to the studies, the meow does not really use it to communicate with other cats, but to communicate with humans.Yes, wild cats barely meow, they are really very silent and usually meowing an average of one meow every 100 hours .Domestic cats instead meow frequently to get our attention and try to communicate with us.Besides, it has been shown that is not exactly a universal language and that each cat has a special way of communicating with its humans.
