From cuddling them to playing fetch, it's easy enough for humans to show their pets how much they love them
However, it's not as clear for owners' animals to reciprocate the feeling. Thanks to a breakdown from Wisdom Health's veterinary genetics research manager, , people can now figure out the ways their furry friends are attempting to show their adoration
Whether you're a feline-friendly household, or prefer a clan of canines, these ways your pet shows their love will have you seeing their affection in a brand new light
1. : They do this in various ways including rubbing their cheek on your hand or face to spread their happy pheromones on you, head butting you, or even licking you to cover you in their scent and mark you as theirs
2. : Cats show their love and trust by looking at you directly with relaxed, half-closed eyes and slowly blinking
These are called "cat kisses" so feel free to wink or "kiss" back! 3. : Cats can make various sounds from meows to chirps to a buzzing purr
Cats usually only "talk" to those they like so appreciate a talkative cat for the love they are sharing and you can get their purr-motor running by stroking or scratching them especially behind the ears, under the chin, or at the base of the tail
4. : Cats will often follow their favorite people around the house and hang out near them, next to them, or directly on them
5. : Cats are natural born hunters — they will hunt toys, tidbits or other, often less desirable, things
When they bring it to you, they are gifting you with a "meal" because they care. 1
: A dog can express many emotions through their tails, but a happy, relaxed dog will show it by a friendly tail wag often with a smile on their face
2. : As dogs were developed from the wolf, which are known for their loyalty to the pack and sociability, our dogs are the same way, and they show it by wanting to be in our space – following us around from room to room as we move about the house
3. : Another carry-over from their wolf ancestors who would lick their mother's faces to indicate that they were hungry, the modern dog uses this instinct to let us know that they care about us and are not a threat
They will also do it as an act to groom you which is another way to show intimacy
4. : Dogs will show their affection and attention by leaning against you, curling up in your lap, or just resting a nose or paw on you
They also often like to sleep with you (if allowed) similar to how wolf packs sleep together
5. : Depending on the dog, this can take many forms from retrieving games to chasing games to rolling around on the ground together
Most dogs love to engage you in play as a means of showing affection and forming a bond, not to mention getting out a little of their energy
