Where does your cat usually sit? The position where a cat sits can give you a clue as to how close it is to its owner. We will introduce the sitting position and psychology of cats, so if you want to know how your cat feels, please check it out.

1.On the owner's body

The emotional distance between a cat and its owner is proportional to the distance between them when they are casually sitting. If your cat often sits on your lap or stomach, it means that your cat is not only physically close to you, but also emotionally close, and that they have a deep bond of trust.

Cats like to relax in areas where they feel comfortable and relaxed. The reason why they sit on their owners' bodies is because they feel safe when they are close to their owners! I would like to respond to that feeling and continue to protect my beloved cat no matter what.

Cats also often climb on top of their owners because they want to be pampered or cared for. When your cat sits on your lap or stomach, it will be nice to pet him gently.

2. A location that the owner can easily touch

If your cat often sits next to you or close enough to you that you can reach out and touch them, it can be said that they are emotionally close and have a good relationship.

Cats are very cautious and don't want to approach people they don't trust. The fact that you are relaxing so close that you can touch them shows that you believe that you don't have to worry about being attacked by this person and that this person won't do anything you don't like.

Please be aware that if the owner betrays the cat's trust and does something that frightens or frightens the cat, the cat may become distant from the rest of the world.

Also, when a cat sits near its owner and stares at it, it often makes requests such as ``I want to be petted'' or ``I want to play with you.'' If you can understand your cat's feelings and respond to his/her needs, you will become even closer to your heart.

3.Position where the owner cannot touchcat sitting by the window
If you can see your cat but often sit in a position where you can't touch it even if you reach out, perhaps your cat is neither too close nor too far away.

It's not that I don't trust him or hate him at all, but he may not have a good enough relationship with me to be vulnerable in front of his owner, or to be close to him and pamper him.

Your cat is probably at the stage where it is measuring its distance from its owner, wondering, ``Can I trust my owner?'' ``Will my cat be kind to me?''

It is no good for the owner to forcefully try to get along with the cat when the cat is trying to get closer little by little. This will only make your cat more cautious, so please deepen your relationship slowly at your cat's pace.

There are also cats who like to sit at a certain distance from their owners, even if they love and trust their owners. Cats also have different personalities, so some cats don't like being sticky, and some cats are more relaxed when they're alone. Accept this as a part of your cat's individuality, and try to keep a distance that is comfortable for your cat.


4. A location where the owner cannot see you

If your cat often sits in places that are so far away that you can't find where they are, or in places where you can't see them at all, such as in other rooms, unfortunately, you've become emotionally distant from your cat.

Cats are generally very cautious, so even if you start living with them, they won't get used to you right away. If the dog is sitting at a distance, it is likely that they are still wary of the owner and are worried that it might be dangerous to get close to this person.

In order to let your cat's guard down and shorten the emotional distance, you need to gain his trust as someone you can feel safe approaching. Don't do anything that the cat dislikes or is afraid of, but treat the cat in a gentle and calm manner, and gradually make the cat fall in love with you.

summary


Cats want to be close to the people they love, and stay away from the people they are wary of...that's how cats feel. Please use the position where your cat sits as a hint to understand the emotional distance and use it to build a relationship in the future.
