\n

\n Cats are mysterious creatures, but their behavior says a lot about how they are feeling. Recognize by these 10 signs whether your cat is relaxed, content and truly happy.\n <\/p>\n

1. Playful behavior<\/h3>\n

A happy cat plays! Playful behavior means your cat feels secure and energetic. Older cats play less, but often still seek interaction through attention or brief moments of play.<\/p>\n

2. Seeks contact and socializes<\/h3>\n

Does your cat come to you to give head or crawl on your lap? That's a sign of trust and contentment.<\/p>\n

3. Good appetite<\/h3>\n

A cat with a healthy appetite feels good. If he brings you to his bowl or asks for snacks, that is a positive sign.<\/p>\n

4. Takes care of herself a lot<\/h3>\n

Lots of washing means rest and well-being. Some cats even lick their owner or other cats - a form of affection.<\/p>\n

5. Rubbing the nose and giving cups<\/h3>\n

By rubbing its nose against you, your cat is marking you as \"safe. That is pure love in cat language.<\/p>\n

6. Relaxed sleep<\/h3>\n

A contented cat sleeps 12-18 hours a day. Is he lying on his back or next to you? Then he feels completely at ease.<\/p>\n

7. Running through the house<\/h3>\n

Sudden \"zoomies\" are a happy burst of energy. A good sign that your cat is feeling at home.<\/p>\n

8. Hug<\/h3>\n

Cats only cuddle when they trust you completely. If your cat comes to lay with you of his own accord, he is enjoying your bond.<\/p>\n

9. Tail up in greeting<\/h3>\n

An erect tail with a soft curl at the end shows contentment. That's cat language for \"I'm glad to see you.\"<\/p>\n

10. Purring and meowing with soft tones<\/h3>\n

Purring or soft meows on greeting indicate a happy cat. In contrast, a low or long meow may indicate irritation.<\/p>\n

Is your cat often home alone? Consider a cat sitter at home<\/a> so that he gets company and attention even in your absence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
