10大信号：你家喵星人对你是真爱！

Ever wondered if your kitty really loves you?

琢磨不清你家喵星人对你是不是真爱？

From finicky to feisty, our feline friends aren’t always the easiest to read. Unlike dogs who make their affection for us loud and clear, cats have far less obvious ways of communicating how they feel.

要么安静要么躁动，我们的这位小伙伴似乎不那么好懂。和狗狗那种强烈的感情表达不一样，猫咪表达感受的方式似乎不会那么明显。

If you want to discover just how much your cat cares about you, then check out these10 signs of true love:

如果想知道喵咪到底多在乎你，看看喵星人的十大真爱特征吧：

1. Head butting

用头顶你

If a person were to do it to you, then you’d have a pretty good idea of what they were trying to tell you, but with a cat it’s a whole different story. To be on the receiving end of what is actually known in the cat world as ‘head bunting‘ is a very special privilege indeed. During this exchange your cat deposits facial pheromones that represent their feelings of trust and safety they have with you.

如果有人这么对你，你肯定觉得他们有话要对你说，但是对于猫咪而言就不是这么一回事了。要知道在猫咪的世界里，用头顶你真是至高无上的荣誉。通过这个行为，他们展现的是对你的信任以及安全感。

2. Powerful purrs

发出咕咕声

Cats purr for all sorts of reasons, but there is one unique full bodied rumble that your kitty saves exclusively for their true love. Purring also lowers your kitty’s heart rate and helps them to relax and exhibit feelings of contentment.

猫咪可以因为各种原因发出声音，但是有一种独特的身体的低吟声所表达的就是满满的真爱了。咕噜声还会降低猫咪的心率，帮助他们放松，会让它们有一种开心的感觉。

3. Love bites

爱，咬下去

If your cat is a chronic nibbler, then chances are they’ve got a thing for you. It’s pretty easy to tell the difference between a love bite and a regular cat bite, one hurts and the other tickles! Nibbling isn’t a common sign of love, but when a cat employs it, they’re trying to say “you’re awesome.”

如果你的猫咪时不时会咬你们一口，那说明它们对你不一般了。要知道充满爱意的咬和一般的咬是有着一定的差别的，一个会让你疼，一个会让你痒！这虽然不是常见表达爱意的方式，但如果猫咪这么对你了，他们想表达的无非就是“你太棒了”。

4. Tail twitching

摇晃尾巴

You can tell a lot by looking at a cat’s tail. Just as their tails puff out when they get scared or agitated, their tail will twitch at the very tip when they are feeling bliss. If you notice this action when your cat approaches you, then you can be sure that they think you rock their world.

你可以从猫咪的尾巴里看出很多端倪。如果尾巴毛散开，说明他们害怕或生气；在狂喜的时候，他们的尾稍会抽动。如果猫咪靠近你的时候你注意到这一点，那么你绝对主宰了它们的世界。

5. Tummy up

露肚子给你看

When your cat throws itself on the floor and starts rolling around, they are trying to get your attention. Cats only show their tummies voluntarily to those they can trust. Feeling safe means a lot to a cat, so when they sprawl out in front of you, this is a sign that they feel loved and protected.

如果你的猫咪躺在地板上开始滚动，其实是想吸引你的注意。猫咪只会把肚子展现给它们信任的人看。而有安全感对于猫咪来说真是太重要了，所以如果它们在你面前伸展，这就说明它们感到了爱意和安全感。

6. Licking your hair or ears

舔你的头发或耳朵

It’s not often that humans are deemed worthy of these very special grooming sessions, but if your cat has chosen to bestow you with hair or ear licking, rest assured you have been welcomed into the inner circle. Grooming is one of the most obvious signs of the friendship and trust you have with your furry companion.

对于人们来说这似乎不是什么非常特别的举动，但是如果你的猫咪开始舔你的头发或耳朵，那么恭喜你已经成功进驻到它们内心了。亲昵是它们友谊最重要的特征，也绝对是对你这个好伙伴的一种信任的肯定。

7. Kneading

蹭你

Kittens knead against their mothers to stimulate milk production, which is why experts believe that kneading behavior in cats is nostalgic of kittenhood and acts as a way of reliving the happy moments they experienced as little ones. So next time your kitty starts moving its paws up and down on you, remember that they are not just trying to soften you up before taking a nap, but that they’re expressing their adoration for you.

猫咪常常蹭着自己的妈妈要奶喝，所以专家觉得蹭你对于喵星人而言也是表达它们快乐情感的方式之一，就和小时候一样。所以下次如果猫咪开始拿小爪子蹭你，记住它们不是要睡前耍耍小脾气，而是表达对你们的爱。

8. Slow blinking

渐渐发光的眼睛

It is said that cats kiss with their eyes, so don’t expect to share this sign of affection with any old cat. Cats save eye contact for people they know and trust. If that eye contact is coupled with slow blinking then you’ve just received a kitty kiss. Return the love by mimicking the behavior.

据说猫咪会用眼睛亲吻，但千万别指望老猫也会这样来表达情感。对于它们认识和相信的人，猫咪往往很吝啬眼神交流，如果猫咪盯着你看，慢慢的开始眼睛发光，那么其实它们吻了你。不如也用同样的方式来表达对它们的爱吧。

9. Nap time

打盹时间到

Kitties crave warm safe places to sleep, so if your fluffy feline decides to snuggle down beside you or better yet, on your lap, then you should feel especially honored. Cats are most vulnerable when they are sleeping, and there is no greater compliment than when they choose you as their snooze spot.

小猫咪们都喜欢在温暖舒服安全的地方打个盹。如果猫咪喜欢在你身边打盹，或者是在你的膝盖上，那你要感到无限满足了。猫咪在睡觉的时候是最容易醒的。如果他们选择在你身上打盹，那对你们的喜爱真的是无以言表了。

10. Gifting

小礼物

There is no denying that a small dead something is not at the top of our wishlist, but a kitty that presents you with this bounty deserves to be praised. Despite our domestication, cats still have the inner hunter and sharing their prizes with you is a sign of true friendship.

虽然死老鼠什么的真的不在我们的愿望礼物清单上，但猫咪是在会用自己的方式给你奖励。就算被我们驯化，猫咪也会把猎物作为奖品和你们分享，这也是真爱的标志。

If you’ve been fortunate enough to share your life with a cat, then you’ll understand that they are consciously connecting with us. Whether it’s via grooming, purring or snuggling up, cats are loving and affectionate individuals that form very special bonds with their favorite people.

如果你有幸和猫咪一起生活，那么你就应该知道他们是如何和我们建立联系的。无论是通过亲昵、发出咕咕声还是蹭来蹭去，都说明猫咪爱你们，喜欢你们，和你们有着很不一般的感情。
