Cat behavior can sometimes be confusing even for experienced owners.
One of the most intriguing habits is touching the owner with a paw.
Feline experts have revealed the true reasons for this gesture.
Socialization
Touching plays a key role in cat communication. When a pet touches you with its paw, it is expressing love or inviting you to play.
This gesture is a sign of good interaction with a person.
Care
Cats lick their fur until it shines when they carry out hygiene procedures.
If the cat touches its owner with its paw, it also tries to comb and wash its owner.
By caring for a person in this way, the cat considers him a member of its family.
Territorial behavior
Cats mark their territory using marks and glands located on the pads of their paws.
By touching the owner, the cat marks him as part of its territory and property.
