When Your Cat Brings You Gifts
At one point or another, every owner has to deal with their cat bringing a dead bird or mouse at their feet. This is totally gross but it’s also a sweet sentiment. Your cat is actually bringing you a gift.
When your cat was a kitten, their mother would have bought their babies food. This shows them that they have been accepted as a member of the group. When your cat does this for you, it may be saying thank you for the care you give it. It may also just be looking for a bit of attention though.
When Your Cat Is Relaxed
When cats lie back with their legs open, it is a sign that they are comfortable and feel relaxed in your company.
Sprawling their legs out like this makes them vulnerable, especially when their tummy is exposed. They will only adopt this position when they are absolutely sure that there is no threat around. If your cat does this often, it means they are likely very comfortable in your home and are probably pretty content and relaxed in general. So good job!
How Cats Warn You There is a Problem
In the wild, cats instinctively cover up their droppings so that predators cannot track down their scent. They also do this in their litter box, which is handy because it means you don’t have to.
If your cat stops doing this though, it could be a sign of a problem. The problem could be something as simple as the litter box type or it could be that your cat is feeling stressed or anxious. They may even be trying to warn you that there is a problem with their health.
