Anyone who has owned a cat will have stories to tell about being sad, ill or injured, with their feline family member–who normally may be aloof–attending the person, purring, and making biscuits (or kitty pumps).

In this video, 11-month-old Freya knew her person had a difficult day and was sad, going to bed early. Freya normally doesn’t follow her person to bed or sleep there, but spent the night with him, purring and pumping over his heart.

According to Scientific American, cats who purr and make biscuits do so not only to show love but also to heal bone damage in an injured cat.

The article also states that cats feel affection toward their persons, although they don’t always show it when humans want it.

Cats also throw themselves on their backs in your presence to show they love you and want a few belly pets. The belly is a vulnerable place, and when your cat does it, this suggests it feels safe and appreciated in your presence. If you are feeling down, your kitty will use this maneuver to get your attention and let you know it cares about you.

Then there is bunting, when your car rubs its head on you, leaving its scent. According to Spruce Pets, “It’s a way for your cat to leave his scent on you, marking their territory. Cats do this when they love something or someone.” They also do it when you’re feeling low, reminding you about the good things in your life.

You may adore your cat so much that you kiss it many times during the day. But if you really want to “kiss” your cat so it feels and shares love, try the slow “eye blink.” Stare at your kitty and slowly blink your eyes. If your cat returns the blink, it’s sending you another signal that it cares about you.
