Half Closed Eyes/ Slow Blinking
Fans of cat whisperer, Jackson Galaxy know this one well! The famous kitty therapist uses this technique to sooth fearful cats into trusting him on his Animal Planet show, My Cat From Hell. You can use this simple trick in everyday life to express your love and kinship with your cat.
Scent Mingling
You can continue this practice at home with your own felines. Making the first move shows that you are willing to interact in a language they can understand. You are also giving them the option to not engage at that exact moment, which cats appreciate from their humans.
Head Butts
My personal favorite form of cat lovin’ is the head bonk! There’s something so endearing about a kitty purring like a freight train and bopping their little head off yours! When cats do this they are showing their trust and affection while also claiming ownership of you as their human.
