its a desire to personify animals, because we actually have no idea at all what they are thinking or why they do anything. even the claim that "they have scent glands and are marking their territory" is highly dubious, as cats would have no understanding of anything like that, due to their tiny brains and limited thought capabilities. at best, it just feels good so they do it.

It makes sense. Cats are on guard animals. Always vigilant and aware of their surroundings. So if they let their guard down around you I do think it’s safe to say they love you. ♥️

The bigger mystery is why we can't resist saying "oooh, big stretch" when they do it.

I've recently been adopted by a stray cat. I've been taking care of him for a couple weeks; putting out food and water. Especially over the last week, he's become very affectionate. Even letting me pick him up! Today I fixed up a box for him to sleep in on the porch. My house is being remodeled, so he can't come inside. I'm in a small camper. I don't think he's ready to be inside yet anyway. But he has a good place to sleep out of the weather, off the ground, on some old shirts. Not fancy, but better than the wet ground. He comes and goes as he pleases. I keep thinking of John Wayne's line in True Grit... _"No one owns him._ (the cat; General Sterling Price.) _He just rooms with me."_ 😁

The Cat stretches because he is getting ready to kill you. But stretching activates his body, stimulates the metabolism, and reminds him that he needs food. So he keeps you alive to feed him until next time when the cycle repeats itself.

Our stray cat that sleeps in our house during the day, stretches a lot, either laying down or on all fours.

There is another stretching behavior. When their human is gone for a significant time, the cat will get in their bed when they return, stretch and stay stretched. I call it the Welcome Home stretch. I've had two of my cats do this for me.

I never thought much about it, but assumed it was the waking up stretch, much like other animals and humans, or the "sitting still for too long" stretch.

I had a cat that figured out the doorbell bit. Any time, day or night he rang the doorbell. My neighbors thought I was crazy. Well until their cats began ringing doorbells. My cat had a better social life than me! Some 5-6 cats would come ring the doorbell to get him out. Now how he knew it was his buddies without looking remains a mystery to me. All I am thinking is I thought male cats were less social. And my boy was the leader. I was such a proud mom.

She letting me know, she glad, I home and she miss me. 😻

MY CAT DOES THIS A LOT.😊😊😊😊😊

This is a lovely thing cats do.

Cat language is more visual than vocal. Ears forward is aggressive. Tongue lick is hungry. Similarly, stretch means ready to play.

Often after my cat does the extended stretch, she will then walk close to me and then sit in a perfect attention-type position. She will not move --- just sit at attention ---- green eyes locked to mine. I completely melt inside because I know she is reflecting respect toward me. My ongoing thoughts are: 'Do you want the world? Just tell me what you want; I will get it😊😊' Pets and Children are the closest representations of Divinity.

Cats can pick up vibrations through their front paws enabling them to locate and position potential prey. This is why lions sit half down with their front paws straight out.

I love cats

nice to know!
