Head bumps and leg rubs
贴脸蹭腿
Cats have scent glands concentrated on certain parts of their bodies, including their cheeks and heads. When your kitty rubs her head or face against you, shes marking you with her scent and claiming you as part of her family group.
猫的气味腺集中在身体的某些部位,如脸颊和脑袋。你的猫咪若是用头或脸蹭你的时候,其实它是在用身体气味在你身上做标记,把你视为它的家庭成员。
Grooming sessions
舔毛时分
Grooming is another way that cats spread their scent to mark territory. If you have multiple cats, you may have seen them grooming each other. By sharing a scent, your feline friend is creating a sense of belonging.
舔毛也是猫散播气味来标记领地的方式。若你有多只猫咪,你或许看到过它们相互舔毛,你的猫咪伙伴通过分享气味来营造归属感。
