The rubbing of cats against human legs is a special ritual by which an animal expresses its love and trust, said veterinarian Bogdan Galkin, News.ru reported on April 5.
According to the vet, in most tetrapods, perception is done through the sense of smell, and their own body has glands that can secrete odorous substances. Therefore, cats “mark” a person when they rub against him with his body, wanting to show how attached and trustworthy they are to their owner.
“The next reason is to draw attention to yourself”Galkin added.
The expert also said that four-legged animals do not know how to be hypocritical and all their joy and discontent is immediately visible. They are very direct and, for example, in order to ask for more delicious food, they can refuse to eat for several days in a row.
