Ever wondered if your kitty really loves you?
琢磨不清你家喵星人對(duì)你是不是真愛(ài)？

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.
要么安靜要么躁動(dòng)，我們的這位小伙伴似乎不那么好懂。和狗狗那種強(qiáng)烈的感情表達(dá)不一樣，貓咪表達(dá)感受的方式似乎不會(huì)那么明顯。

If you want to discover just how much your cat cares about you, then check out these 10 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愛(ài)特征吧：

1. Head butting
用頭頂你

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.
如果有人這么對(duì)你，你肯定覺(jué)得他們有話要對(duì)你說(shuō)，但是對(duì)于貓咪而言就不是這么一回事了。要知道在貓咪的世界里，用頭頂你真是至高無(wú)上的榮譽(yù)。通過(guò)這個(gè)行為，他們展現(xiàn)的是對(duì)你的信任以及安全感。

2. Powerful purrs
發(fā)出咕咕聲

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.
貓咪可以因?yàn)楦鞣N原因發(fā)出聲音，但是有一種獨(dú)特的身體的低吟聲所表達(dá)的就是滿滿的真愛(ài)了。咕嚕聲還會(huì)降低貓咪的心率，幫助他們放松，會(huì)讓他們有一種開心的感覺(jué)。

3. Love bites
愛(ài)，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.”
如果你的貓咪時(shí)不時(shí)會(huì)咬你們一口，那說(shuō)明它們對(duì)你不一般了。要知道充滿愛(ài)意的咬和一般的咬是有著一定的差別的，一個(gè)會(huì)讓你疼，一個(gè)會(huì)讓你癢！這雖然不是常見(jiàn)表達(dá)愛(ài)意的方式，但如果貓咪這么對(duì)你了，他們想表達(dá)的無(wú)非就是“你太棒了”。

4. Tail twitching
搖晃尾巴

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.
你可以從貓咪的尾巴里看出很多端倪。如果尾巴毛散開，說(shuō)明他們害怕或生氣；在狂喜的時(shí)候，他們的尾稍會(huì)抽動(dòng)。如果貓咪靠近你的時(shí)候你注意到這一點(diǎn)，那么你絕對(duì)主宰了它們的世界。

5. Tummy up
露肚子給你看

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.
如果你的貓咪躺在地板上開始滾動(dòng)，其實(shí)是想吸引你的注意。貓咪只會(huì)把肚子展現(xiàn)給它們信任的人看。而有安全感對(duì)于貓咪來(lái)說(shuō)真是太重要了，所以如果它們?cè)谀忝媲吧煺?，這就說(shuō)明它們感到了愛(ài)意和安全感。

6. Licking your hair or ears
舔你的頭發(fā)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.
對(duì)于人們來(lái)說(shuō)這似乎不是什么非常特別的舉動(dòng)，但是如果你的貓咪開始舔你的頭發(fā)或耳朵，那么恭喜你已經(jīng)成功進(jìn)駐到他們內(nèi)心了。親昵是他們友誼最重要的特征，也絕對(duì)是對(duì)你這個(gè)好伙伴的一種信任的肯定。

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.
貓咪常常蹭著自己的媽媽要奶喝，所以專家覺(jué)得蹭你對(duì)于喵星人而言也是表達(dá)它、他們快樂(lè)情感的方式之一，就和小時(shí)候一樣。所以下次如果貓咪開始拿小爪子蹭你，記住他們不是要睡前耍耍小脾氣，而是表達(dá)對(duì)你們的愛(ài)。

8. Slow blinking
慢慢眨眼

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.
據(jù)說(shuō)貓咪會(huì)用眼睛親吻，但千萬(wàn)別指望老貓也會(huì)這樣來(lái)表達(dá)情感。對(duì)于他們認(rèn)識(shí)和相信的人，貓咪往往很吝嗇眼神交流，如果貓咪盯著你看，慢慢的開始眼睛發(fā)光，那么其實(shí)他們吻了你。不如也用同樣的方式來(lái)表達(dá)對(duì)他們的愛(ài)吧。

9. Nap time
打盹時(shí)間到

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.
小貓咪們都喜歡在溫暖舒服安全的地方打個(gè)盹。如果貓咪喜歡在你身邊打盹，或者是在你的膝蓋上，那你要感到無(wú)限滿足了。貓咪在睡覺(jué)的時(shí)候是最容易醒的。如果他們選擇在你身上打盹，那對(duì)你們的喜愛(ài)真的是無(wú)以言表了。

10. Gifting
小禮物

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.
雖然死老鼠什么的真的不在我們的愿望禮物清單上，但貓咪是在會(huì)用自己的方式給你獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。就算被我們馴化，貓咪也會(huì)把獵物作為獎(jiǎng)品和你們分享，這也是真愛(ài)的標(biāo)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.
如果你有幸和貓咪一起生活，那么你就應(yīng)該知道他們是如何和我們建立聯(lián)系的。無(wú)論是通過(guò)親昵、發(fā)出咕咕聲還是蹭來(lái)蹭去，都說(shuō)明貓咪愛(ài)你們，喜歡你們，和你們有著很不一般的感情。
