Sometimes some of the actions and habits of cats may seem strange and incomprehensible to humans.

For example, a pet may put its paws on a person's face.

And such behavior of the animal can be caused by several reasons.

Expresses his feelings

In this way, the cat may be trying to express its affection.

In this case, the furry one may also purr loudly and close its eyes.

In addition, pets may try to demonstrate their affection by lightly biting or licking their owner.

Attracts attention

A cat may place its paw on its owner's face to get his attention.

This is how a pet can let you know that it needs something. For example, it wants to eat or play.

In the first case, the cat will use all possible methods to ensure that the person gets up from his place and fulfills its demand.

If the fluffy one wants to play, he will tap his paws or bring toys.

Shows curiosity

This applies to cats that have only recently arrived in the house.

Touching the owner's face with a paw in such a situation will be a kind of test of trust.
