Head bumps and leg rubs
貼臉蹭腿
Cats have scent glands concentrated on certain parts of their bodies, including their cheeks and heads. When your kitty rubs her head or face against you, shes marking you with her scent and claiming you as part of her family group.
貓的氣味腺集中在身體的某些部位,如臉頰和腦袋。你的貓咪若是用頭或臉蹭你的時候,其實它是在用身體氣味在你身上做標記,把你視為它的家庭成員。
Grooming sessions
舔毛時分
Grooming is another way that cats spread their scent to mark territory. If you have multiple cats, you may have seen them grooming each other. By sharing a scent, your feline friend is creating a sense of belonging.
舔毛也是貓散播氣味來標記領(lǐng)地的方式。若你有多只貓咪,你或許看到過它們相互舔毛,你的貓咪伙伴通過分享氣味來營造歸屬感。
Slow blinks
緩慢眨眼
When your kitty looks at you and slowly closes his eyes, hes showing that hes content around you. In fact, this slow-blinking behavior has even earned the nickname “kitty kisses”.
當你的貓咪看著你然后慢慢合上眼,這表示它和你在一起感到心滿意足。事實上,這種緩慢眨眼的行為甚至享有“貓咪之吻”的美稱。
Exposing the belly
露出肚皮
Rolling over and exposing their bellies is a sure sign of trust and shows that your cat is comfortable around you.
滾過來、滾過去,露出貓肚皮毫無疑問是信任的標志,也表示你的貓咪在你身邊感到舒適愜意。
Kneading
溫柔輕撫
When kitties knead your lap, it means theyre relaxed and content.
當貓咪輕撫你的大腿時,這意味著它很放松、滿足。
Kitty underfoot
喵影不離
If your feline friend follows you from room to room, jumps onto tables and counters to be near you and always seems to be right where your step, she clearly enjoys your company.
如果你的貓咪朋友在家跟著你進進出出,跳上桌子和柜臺靠近你,你每走一步都緊跟在旁,顯而易見,它喜歡你的陪伴。
Tail position
尾巴的位置
A tail held straight in the air is often used as a greeting, so you know your kitty is happy to see you. A tail held upright with a curve at the tip like a question mark also indicates familiarity, friendliness and affection.
直直地翹起來的尾巴通常表示歡迎,這時你就知道你的貓咪見到你很高興。尾巴翹起但末端略微彎曲(整個尾巴呈問號狀)也能表現(xiàn)出貓咪對你的親密、友好和喜愛。
Purring
咕嚕咕嚕叫
A happy cat may express affection by purring when hes curled up in your lap or rubbing against your leg.
貓開心的時候會蜷縮在你大腿上或者蹭你的腿,咕嚕咕嚕叫著表達對你的喜愛之情。
