Many cat owners will encounter many problems when they first start raising cats. Regarding the issue of cats' trust in their owners, many cat owners who are just starting to raise cats are not very clear about it. Sometimes they forcefully implement some care or hugs, etc. It will be counterproductive, so before raising a cat, it is important to understand several ways in which cats show trust in their owners.

1. The more relaxed you are, the more assured you will be

First of all, when in contact with a cat, the more relaxed it is, the more at ease it is with you. A kitten that truly opens its heart to you will express its contentment by purring in your arms. At the same time, it is completely relaxed, its body is soft, and it cannot even feel the strength of its muscles. A kitten that has lived beside its owner since childhood will not feel uneasy as long as it can feel the owner's hands, even if it keeps changing its posture.

　2. If I believe you, I will comb my hair

Grooming is a sign that your cat is relaxed. If a kitten that has never interacted with you is willing to groom it not far from you, it means that it has a certain recognition of your character, and at least it feels that this person will not hurt it. This shows that your cat’s trust in you has been established bit by bit.

3. Turn over my belly to show you

When a cat shows you its biggest weakness - its belly, it shows its great dependence on you. Usually, if a domestic cat rolls around on its belly in front of its owner, it is showing towards the owner. Acting coquettishly! Cats hope to get more attention from their owners in this way.

4. Beard is a barometer of mood

A cat's whiskers are a high-performance "radar". It is generally believed that cats use whiskers to determine whether their bodies can get through various gaps. This "radar" is also a barometer that reflects mood. When a cat is bored, its whiskers will wilt and hang weakly. But if a cat looks at you with its whiskers facing the front of its nose, pay attention: at this moment It has no good impression of you and is full of vigilance. Don't pull others into your arms wishfully.

5. Looking at each other

In nature, when two animals meet, looking at each other is definitely a provocative behavior, and the best way for both parties to avoid fighting is to not make eye contact with each other. Kittens who trust you want their owners to pay attention to them all the time. When their eyes come into contact with their owners, the cats will take the opportunity to express their needs. Don’t believe it? Try it one day during dinner time. If a cat notices that you are paying attention to it, it will snap back and take it away.The eyes pretend to look at the sky and the earth, but they don’t make eye contact with you. There is no doubt that they don’t even have the most basic confidence in you. Want to gain its trust? There is still a long way to go.

What kind of cat is more likely to trust people

Usually, the pedigree factors of purebred cats will give them a relatively good character, but if they do not receive care and communication from their owners, this innate good foundation will gradually be lost.

Kittens that have been closely connected with people since childhood, even if they are a little sensitive and afraid of people, can usually quickly establish trust in people. You know, after a kitten is born, people's attitude towards it determines how it handles its relationship with people.

If the kitten has a mother cat who does not trust people, then the child will also be suspicious of humans. If the mother cat is treated badly, then it will definitely let its children learn to stay away from humans.

Compared with dogs, cats are definitely slow-heating animals. There are many elements of doubt in a cat's character, so it may take more time and effort to gain the cat's trust, and this kind of trust is particularly precious because it is hard-earned. If you, a cat owner, have already established this trusting relationship with your kitten, it is definitely worth cherishing.
