The Benefits of petting your CAT

-


 

It is a myth that cats are independent and only use humans for their basic 
needs 
cats enjoy being petted as much as we 
enjoy petting them.
1.IT REMINDS THEM OF THEIR MOTHER:Cats 
seek out our company so they can receive 
affection 
in their eyes we represent a mother 
figure one who cares for their every 
need 
when they are a newborn kittens will 
suckle at their mother's teeth who will 
in turn 
lick them encouragingly our petting 
reminds them of this action 
and helps them to feel bonded and safe.
2.THEY ARE PROVIDED WITH A SENSE OF WELL-BEING:E
ven if a cat is an adult this 
child-parent relationship remains to 
some degree 
the nature of the domestication process 
has created this dynamic 
since they don't have to mature in the 
same way as they did in the wild 
petting provides close contact which 
benefits the cat throughout their life 
when we pet them we often see their 
tails stretch and become rigid 
the same behavior which happens with 
kittens and their mother our petting 
transmits a sense of well-being 
which spells happiness which they can 
only feel with those closest to them.
3.IT MAKES THEM HAPPY: Physical contact 
often causes them to purr 
although there are different meanings 
behind this sound when they pair while 
being petted 
it means they are happy and at ease 
purring also relates to their infancy 
beginning from the age of one week it is 
a sign to their mother that they are 
happy 
and content.  
BENEFITS TO US OF PETTING A CAT:Science 
has determined that living with a cat 
can provide many health benefits to the 
people they share their lives with
in fact it can even help us to live 
longer petting a cat has been shown to 
relax us 
improve our mood and lower stress by 
reducing cortisol level s
it increases oxytocin levels lowers 
blood pressure 
and protects the heart it has also been 
shown that living with a cat 
helps us to maintain social 
relationships reduces feelings of 
loneliness 
and encourages responsibility in 
children.
In short petting a cat for just a few 
minutes a day reduces the stress we are 
subjected to on a daily basis 
coming home and stroking our cat helps 
us to enter a state of relaxation 
this intensifies when the cat begins to 
pour.

If you've adopted a feline  you may have a hard time winning their  affection it's also possible you've been  together for years  and they have been affectionate but now  i feel as if their attitude has changed. 1. GIVE THEM SPACE AND TIME :  W hen a cat comes into our home we are  eager to give them attention  however if we want the relationship to  start off on the right foot we need to  be careful  cats need time and space to adapt to  their environment and that includes us  they need to lose their fear and become  used to our presence  this is why we must never force them to  receive petting or climb on top of us  to reciprocate love with your cat you  need to create a bond of security and  trust  give them treats play with them but let  them come to you  they will smell you and then rub against  you only then do you have the permission  to interact. 2.
