In the process of raising cats, many pet owners may have tried, being pawed or touched by their cats.

Why do cats do this? Cats reach out and touch you, not only because they are hungry, but also for these reasons.

1, "Shovel shit, I'm scared"

Do not look at the cat always look like the sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, in fact, sometimes, they are also very wimpy, they also have something to be afraid of, such as thunder, encounters with animals larger than it, injections, etc., will make the cat feel fear.

At this time the cat will subconsciously touch the master with its paws they are seeking shelter from the master and hope that the master can protect it.

So the cat reaches out to touch you, probably not because of hunger, but to feel afraid, need your protection Oh, this is also the performance of the cat trust you.

2. "I'm sorry, I was wrong"

Cats are very dignified, when they make a mistake and are reprimanded by their masters, they will feel embarrassed and embarrassed. At this time, it will also reach out and touch the owner, and will also look at the owner with a pitiful expression, meaning as if to say, "I'm sorry, I was wrong.

I believe that many pet owners see such a cute cat, and can not be angry with it.

3, "Shovel, the phone is fun, play with me for a while"

Cats also need the company of their masters, otherwise, they will also feel lonely. If you go out to work every day and come back from work to stare at the phone, this will make the cat have a feeling like being ignored.

To get your attention, the cat will also reach out and touch you and may keep pulling your clothes. It is trying to say to you, "Scoop, is the phone fun? Play with me for a while."

Pet owners usually still have to accompany the cat more Oh, otherwise, the cat is easy to appear psychological problems.

4, "I just accidentally touched you"

Cats like to stretch, such as when they just wake up, when they are ready to catch prey, when their stomachs are not comfortable, etc., they will stretch, and sometimes when they stretch, their paws will also be forward, so it is easy to touch the owner at his side.

If your cat just touched you and did not look at you, it may just accidentally touch you.

5. "Pooper scooper, my paws are too long, it's hard to walk"

A cat's claws are very useful as a hunting tool and a weapon for self-preservation. When walking, they also rely on their claws to grip the ground to avoid falling, so the cat will often sharpen its claws to keep them sharp.

But sometimes cats sharpen their claws, and may not be able to grind to the effect they want, for example, too long, it will make it feel difficult to walk, etc. The cat will reach out and touch the owner, and will also extend its claws, signaling the owner to help it cut its nails.

So the pet owner has to regularly check the nails of the cat to see if they need to be trimmed.

6. "Shit shoveler, I want to eat something from your hand"

Cats are voracious eaters, if they see food in your hand, then they will immediately run to your side and look at you with glowing eyes. If you do not give it to eat, it will directly reach out to touch you, pull you, and will be all sorts of pampering want the food in your hand.

Your cat will reach out and touch you like a human?
