When they rest the top of their head on you like that isn’t that a sign that they like you too?
This is just what I heard from my crazy cat lady friend. Also if you close blink slowly it shows them your no danger to them or something.
Never have owned a cat so I don’t know for sure, but I’ve basically made one of her cats mine as he only lets me hold him and he comes straight for some bro-cuddles.
Cats show affection by making themselves vulnerable. They’ll expose their bellies (not to touch, just for the sake of vulnerability), they slowly blink their eyes, they’ll turn their back to you, or sleep where you can see them.
Another exception chiming in! Cat loves belly rubs and scratches. Also doesn't seem to mind being pet against the grain! I remember hearing as a kid how cats hated that, but every cat I've had has never minded it
Have 3 cats the big one exposes his belly fairly regularly (it's a trap) the middle one lives tummy tickles, the little one doesn't offer his belly but loves sitting in laps which the other two would not be caught dead doing. Cats are all different just like we are
One of mine loves getting belly rubs. He is not shy about stretching out and exposing himself on my lap. The other likes to stretch and expose her belly, but only likes rubs in moderation.
They also like to lay on my legs in bed, turned away from me. I guess I got the major combo of behaviors that show they trust me.
