5. When they bite you...
They do say love hurts - but this one is more like a pinch. Kittens and cats often show affection by play - which includes biting. For the owners, these sharp teeth can hurt, but try not to react badly, as your cat could become confused, try and avert the attention elsewhere instead. Photo: Getty Images/Canva Pro

7. Cat butt
Similar to dogs, cats identify each other by scent - so butt sniffing is similar to a hello, or a handshake. A tail to the face is a sign that they see you as one of their most loved and trusted. Photo: Getty Images/Canva Pro
8. Cats eye contact gives away a lot
Cats often find eye contact threatening, so if they hold eye contact with you, they feel safe. If they slowly blink at you - this is a sign of love. Photo: Getty Images/Canva Pro
