Struggling to Understand Your Cat’s Behavior? Here’s What You Need to Know

Lifting their Bum

Do you want to know what’s the perfect way to pet a cat without bothering her? Well, it’s quite easy because cats will usually show you when they are enjoying your cuddles. A great sign is when a cat raises her butt when you’re petting her. This shows that they like all the attention they’re getting from you and you’re hitting all the right spots. Don’t think of it as something insulting because cats only raise their butts when they’re relaxed and happy. Most of the nerve endings of a cat are present around the neck, head, and chin. So, you can become friends with a cat by petting their heads and it will start rubbing itself against you. The next thing a cat does is raise its butt to give you a signal that you should keep going because they’re enjoying the little cuddling session.

However, if you own a female cat and she’s unspayed, your cat might raise her butt when she’s in heat. But this is no sign of concern so there’s nothing for you to worry about. But it’s another thing if your cat likes going outside because she might be pregnant and you will soon welcome a litter of kittens in your house.
