What is Cat?

Cats express affection sideways, not directly.

Why Cats Are Subtle:

No Over-Display

In the wild, showing need is dangerous. Cats evolved to bond quietly.

Subtle Signals

• Slow blinks = trust
• Sitting near (not on) you = companionship
• Following you from room to room = loyalty
• Exposing belly without asking for touch = extreme trust

Attachment Style

Cats form secure attachments similar to dogs and children—but they don’t perform affection on command.

If a cat ignores you but:

• checks where you are,
• sleeps nearby,
• greets you when you return,

…that cat cares deeply.

Cat logic:

“I do not need to prove affection. You are already inside my territory.”
