Why Cats Keep Checking on Their Owners?

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Does your cat frequently check on you? like casually looking around, to make sure you are nearby?
Do they walk in your room, give you a look, and then continue on their way?
If you notice your cat keep an eye on you, it likely indicates that your pet considers you a significant figure.
In this video, we'll explore the common reasons why cats check in on their owners, and what it signifies for you as a caring pet owner.
The first reason cats check on you has to do with their territorial nature.
Being territorial and social animals, cats regularly check their territory for anything out of place and they keep an eye on their family members.
Cats are territorial and social animals. They regularly check their territory for anything out of place and they keep an eye on their family members.
When there’s a strange noise or something loud, they look at their owners to gauge their reactions. If you appear unconcerned, they take it as a signal that everything's normal. But if you're on high alert, they kick into alert mode too. They may even survey the environment for potential threats.
Now, your cat's frequent check-ins might also be a way of making sure you are, still, in fact, you!
They are making sure that everything is fine and that the routine is still the same.
Your pet knows you're the source of all good things-food, shelter, and safety. So when they're checking on you, they are ensuring that you are present to play your role as the great protector. This little check is their way of seeking reassurance that their environment remains stable and secure.
Another reason your cat checks on you is because they want to seek your attention.
They check on you in the hope of receiving positive acknowledgment. Whether they desire playtime, a good petting session, a cozy cuddle, or just a moment of eye contact, your cat wants you to notice them or spend time with them. Some cats even follow you around the house simply because they want to be seen and heard.
Another reason for these check-ins is to ensure your well-being. Cats have a keen sense of smell and are often able to detect changes in their owner's scent when they are sick. They may also pick up on changes in your behavior or body language. While your pet may not understand that you have the flu, they can sense when things are different, especially if you've been in bed or on the couch all day.
When your cat notices something is amiss, they are highly likely to pay you a visit.
Many cats come in closer proximity when their humans are sick or sad. Some even purr and rub themselves more once they sense that their owner is feeling blue.
Believe it or not, cats have even saved lives over the years.
One cat in the US warned her human when he was about to have an epileptic seizure, while another cat in the UK saved his owner’s life by pounding his paws on her chest to wake her up after she suffered a heart attack.
Finally, cats also check on you because they love you. If you have a strong bond with your cat, built over time through love and trust, your pet may check in simply because they care.
It's a heartwarming sign of affection. Your pet is not looking for food. They are not looking for attention. They are just checking in because of the deep connection and affection they have for you.
When your cat chooses to be near you with no obvious strings attached, it means you are succeeding in the art of pet parenting. This indicates that you've established a secure and loving environment for your feline friend.
It's important to note that some cats check in more frequently than others, and their subtle ways of doing so may go unnoticed. On the flip side, some cats may be aloof, detached, or uninterested in engagement due to past trauma or a preference for independence.
Why do cats check on you when you’re asleep?
If your cat checks on you while you are asleep, it is often because they feel safe being around you, and they regard you as a close partner whom they worry about on occasion.
Cats also check on you while you are asleep to ensure your safety.
Many cats are well aware that they, and their humans, are vulnerable when sleeping.
By keeping a watchful eye on you while you sleep, your little tiger is trying to from any potential nighttime threats.
This is akin to how they would protect their fellow feline family members in the wild.
Now that we covered why cats check on you, let’s explore other interesting cat behaviors.

    Several of our cats follow me up the road if I go out on foot. One is particularly close to us and is very protective, she goes on long (miles) walks with us but will not accompany us to open fields, she is aware that there are birds of prey in the sky and knows she would be vulnerable in wide open spaces, she waits under cover for our return.

    My rescue that I found in my yard sick years ago and took into my home and nursed her back to health is my most loving and smart cat I’ve ever had. She never slept next to me in my bed, but was so in tune to my moods and always watched me and wanted to interact with me. I think she knew I rescued her, but she rescued me, more. One day, my mom passed away at the care home she lived in , and I had to go take care of her arrangements right away and returned home drained, very sad, and emotionally spent. I did not cry in front of my cat, and I went to bed early that night. Five minutes later, she came to my bed and curled up next to me and didn’t leave my side all night! She knew I really needed some comforting that night, and it melted my heart! She’s never repeated something like this since. I believe that cats are way more in tune to our hearts and feeling more than most people even realize. She is now 19 and in perfect health for her age. I love her more than words can describe. I’ll always cherish her being there for me that night and every day she’s been with me!

    I had a cat who definitely used me as her Safety Gauge. When there would be a loud or unusual sound nearby, she would quickly look at me. I would let her know that everything was ok by slow blinking and softly telling her not to worry and that I wouldn't let anything happen to her. She would relax, slow blink and settle back down to her nap. The fact that she trusted me so completely in every way, was especially meaningful to me, because she was a timid, feral, 4 month old kitten when I got her. She turned out to be my Soul Kitty, and we were blessed with 18 adorable years together. It pained me to think what her life would have been if I hadn't snatched her off the streets.❤

    I had cats who used to check both me and one another before deciding to panic about a loud noise. I think they were not only gauging my reaction but accounting for the presence of everyone. If the crash happened in another room, but either cat checking around saw that both I and the other cat were in the same room they were, THEN they would panic about the noise.

    Mr. Dorito ( Tabby) & Sabú female tri-colored( but not calico) are the C-Class owners of our home. Mr. Bear, our 6 yr old male Border Collie is our Head of oversight committee.. Since when are humans IN CHARGE of a cat ? Let alone multiple??

    I had a cat from 2005 until she crossed the rainbow bridge almost a year ago. She frequently checked up on me, especially first thing in the morning, or when I was in the shower, and was the most affectionate cat I had (I had 3 other cats growing up).

    It’s really hard to tell if a cat is checking on you since they may also come to see you for cuddles. 🥰 I got a kitten before she was my family cat and she has black and white fur and it was long. She would come and see me every now and then and would rub up against me and would lick my face. She would also sometimes sit on my lap and would also crawl up me so she could reach my face and lick it. I knew it was pure love as she licked me quite a lot she was a very loving and affectionate cat and I still live with her now. I also have another cat the other cat I own isn’t a family cat because I got that cat on my birthday. He was grey tabby cat and I called him Lopez I had Lopez as a kitten in my old home he could be a bit naughty when he was little as he would go in the floor boards and he even jumped out the window once. I know cats can’t get hurt from heights and that they land on all 4 paws 🐾 but my mum assumed that the window wasn’t really safe for him as she thought it might be a bit too high for him but he was fine. and he also climbed up a tree and couldn’t get down before so we had to get help to get him.,.down we didn’t let him out on his own as a kitten since we thought that he wasn’t old enough and responsible to explore the world on his own yet. We got a harness for him so we could help him explore the out side world safely but my mum said that the lead wasn’t really making any difference. Also we would put a collar on him as a kitten so he wouldn’t get lost since he hadn’t been microchipped yet. The good thing was that the collar had a bell so if he got lost I could find him if he went out by himself. I remember hearing his bell and finding him out side late at night. He would often wake me up at night mewing at me and would keep walking onto my bed. After my dad had died from cancer me and my mum moved in with my step dad and so did Lopez of course he still wasn’t a family cat and was still my cat since like I said I got that cat on.,. my.,. birthday. Lopez is already a grown adult now and has had his microchip done know we thought it was a better option since if a branch grabbed him by the collar his collar could come off too easily. I have to admit that the collar looked a lot more stylish but the microchip definitely worked better for him. I also used to have 2 other house cats when I moved in with my step dad except that those 2 were the family cats we had 2 black and white cats called Noo Noo and Kia. Kia was a female cat who was getting to be really old and Noo Noo was quite young I think when I first met Kia Kia was a lap cat and so was Noo Noo they would sit on my lap. and Noo Noo would lick my finger when I put it near his mouth. In the end Kia ended up passing away because she was really old and Noo Noo was the second one to get old and now he has died as well. I’m only left with my 2 cats now that is Lopez who is my cat and the one with black and white fur now and surprisingly enough she has been given 2 names so we would call her Luna RainBall I called her RainBall and some of my family members would call her Luna. RainBall is now all grown up and has the face of the kitten and would act like a kitten and would misbehave and attack people which she was already a grown up and was too old for this behaviour. She has gotten better though she still attacks my family members every now and then but she’s much better. She’s not a grumpy cat though she’s just really.,.playful.

    We got a Maine Coon cross from the SPCA that had been traumatized. Now he is very happy cat and will come and get us to do things like open doors, feed him, pet him or groom, or tidy his litter and then watch as we perform the tasks. He is the sweetest boy and so handsome. He was returned to the shelter twice and was a bit of a basket case but he has blossomed into a very happy kitty. He has become a mommas boy and has proven to be very entertaining. He is also an accomplished mouser. He goes out in the backyard to hunt and always stays in the yard, never wandering. VERY smart and very well behaved. Such an adorable boy.

    I was awakened by my fur baby girl last week in the a.m. hours. I felt something pushing on my right thigh, and I looked up and saw her pushing my thigh with both front paws. When she noticed I was awake, she rushed to my face meowing. She was hungry😊 As I got out the bed, she jumped down and ran to the kitchen to take her place at the table, which is a sign for meal time😊 I fixed her a snack and took it to the bedroom and placed the dish on her food tray. She happily ran from the kitchen behind me and ate her food in the same room we sleep. If I don't take her food to the bedroom, she will sit in the kitchen and call out for me to come to her, "meomy, meomy, meomy!" So, this is why I take her food to the bedroom and put it on her food tray😽😻💙

    The only time I heard my cat chattering was when he was trying to catch a moth that was out of reach. He kept chattering and giving me side glances as if trying to give me directions to where the moth was. We hunted the moth together (well I swiped at the moth to get him to Kitty's reach, didn't want to be a better hunter than him) It was really fun!! He's usually my shadow so doesn't really come to check on me, he's usually close to me and if he's away for a while then he just returns, he doesn't check and keeps walking most of the time.

She was rarely more than an arms length away from me, she slept on me, helped heal 2 broken wrists, 4 broken ankles, and one broken shoulder. She woke me up if she was hungry or out of water. She protected me, even from our 2 male cats we got during Covid, and ran to me if the boys chased her. After she passed the boys, Sebastian and Sinclair started to come out of their shells and have become total love bugs! I thought they just liked my hubby better. lol! They have started taking turns checking on me, or spending days with me, not sure how they have worked that out! I know it will take time for me to completely bond with them, but am enjoying the journey! ❤❤❤

    Mine waits until the very SECOND that I'm about to fall asleep, then comes and jumps right up on my gut, circles around until she's comfortable, then lays down on me. I could be extremely tired, and about to fall asleep in about 30 seconds, or a little stressed, and lay there for about a half hour before I'm just about to doze off. But right at that very twilight second, when you are exactly between asleep and awake, BAM!! She suddenly jumps up on me right then. Every single night for years, and it still makes me jump sometimes because it startles me. How she knows the exact second, I'll never figure out.

    I adopted littermates last fall, a boy and a girl, and the boy is obsessed with me. I’ve known a lot of cats in my life but I’d never experienced any of this before my little britches came into my life. He meows this squeaky, sometimes actually silent meow when he wants me to pick him up. He likes to be held like a baby and he maintains intense eye contact. He frequently strokes my face with his paw. My dad died 8 months ago and my experience with grief has included a lot of random crying. Twice I’ve started crying while holding my little guy and he wiped at a year rolling down my face. I know this sounds insane. If it hadn’t happened to me, I never would have believed a cat would or could behave this way. I think he came into my life for a specific reason and that is to help me through this painful process of grieving my father, who was my favorite person in the world. We don’t deserve cats.

    our family cat checks on everybody regularly. At night, he will check out every person in the house, at least twice during the night. Like he's doing regular sentry rounds! We quickly learned to leave inside door open, because if he cannot get in, he will howl and scratch at the door. And if someone is in the bathroom, he will invariably go in with them and watch until they come out safely. We have to assume he is worried about us being in that room with so much water! He even gave a friend of ours a near heart attack, when he stayed overnight. He was sleeping on the couch, and the cat was on the back of the couch glaring down at this stranger. Well our friend woke up just in time to see two huge, yellow eyes staring down at him in the dark room! Our friend screamed and fell off the couch, and chaos ensued. It took us all awhile to determine what had happened. Our cat regularly waits at the front door when he knows one of us is due home.
