Cat love: Cats show love and affection by purring, bunting, and rolling over onto their back. Bunting- cat rubs their cheeks on you or an object, head-butts you with their forehead, or rubs their head on you. Approaching you for interaction- cats stay away from anything that scares them. Wanting to be in your lap. Squinting eyes when looking at you. Wanting to share your bed. Helping you work and study. Showing it's belly/rolling over. Bringing gifts. Following you everywhere. Giving love bites.
