If your cat rubs its head against you, it not only wants to get in a little cuddle time, but it also is trying to mark you with its scent. Even though we can't smell it all, your cat is trying to tell other cats that "this person belongs to me!"

If your cat licks your skin, hair or even your clothes with its rough tongue, it is simply doing what it would do to other cats that it likes. It is trying to groom and take care of your "fur." It may be annoying when you've just put on lotion and your cat comes over and licks you, but they are just trying to get rid of the new "strange" smell.

If your cat gently bites at you while you two are cuddling or playing, it doesn't mean that he or she is a little hungry but rather that they love you! A tender bite is a well known sign of affection among cats!

Tender cat noses are not only very sensitive to odors but also to touch. When your cat nudges you with their nose while cuddling, it means to them that they think you smell good in the simplest sense and that you feel good.

If your cat looks you in the eyes and then slowly closes their eyes, they want you to know that you make them feel very safe and that they rely on you, because they do not have to constantly worry about knowing everything happening around them.

When small kittens are thirsty, they kick at their mother to stimulate the flow of milk through the so called "milk kick." If your adult cat does this as he or she curls up in your lap, then it means she feels comfortable and secure - just like when they were a kitten!

Purring is the feel good sound of cats. If they are purring while you are petting them, you know that you are doing everything right.

The tummy is the most vulnerable place on a cat's body. Your cat let's you tickle their belly, because they know you will not hurt them. The fact that they just roll on their backs and stretch comfortably in front of you means you have achieved the highest level of trust.

Ok, so a dead mouse is not really what you wished for, but when a cat brings you a dead animal, it means that they want to take care of you. Obviously, you are not catching any mice yourself, so your cat thinks that they need to help you, so that you don't starve to death!
