#7. Affectionate Cat
What it looks like: Cats show that they’re in an affectionate mood in a variety of ways, many of which we tend to miss because they aren’t generally as overt as cuddling, says Johnson-Bennet.
“Affection can be displayed by head bunting, social grooming, slow eye blinks, purring and just being physically close,” she says. “The cat may choose to recline next to you, but with his back facing you. It may seem insulting to us that the cat would turn his back, but it’s actually quite a compliment and display of trust.”
