Because of their evolutionary ancestry, domestic cats are, by their nature, more independent than dogs. The wild ancestors of our cats didn’t live in social groups as canines do. However, during the process of domestication, cats developed the ability to form social relationships not just with other cats, but also with people.
由于家猫的进化祖先的特点，它们天性要比狗更独立。猫科动物的野生祖先并不像犬科动物那样群居生活。然而，在驯化的过程中，猫不仅发展了与其他猫的社交能力，还发展了与人构建社会关系的能力。
While they may not rely upon people to feel safe as dogs do, many cats show affection towards their guardians and seem to highly value the company of their human companions. Their attachment to humans is partly influenced by their experiences of being handled by people as a kitten. Cats behave towards humans in the same way that they respond to theirfelinefriends, so the secret of whether your cat feels bonded to you lies in their behaviour.
虽然它们可能不像狗那样需要依赖人类来获得安全感，但许多猫表现出了对它们的监护人的喜爱之情，并且表现出似乎非常重视人类伴侣的陪伴。它们对人类的连结，部分原因在于它们受到了人类将其看作为小猫咪的体验。猫对待人类的方式和对待它们的猫科朋友的方式是一样的，所以你的猫是否感觉和你建立感情的秘密在于它们的行为。
The ability to communicate with other cats over long distances and when no longer physically present was an advantage to their wild ancestors. Our pet cats have retained this “supersense” and rely heavily on this form of communication. In particular, cats use scent to identify members of their social group or family, by sharing a group scent profile. Cats have scentglandson theirflanks, head and around their ears, and oftenrub their heads againstpeople and objects that are familiar and comforting.The soft sensation you feel against your calves is actually your cat identifying you as a friend and is a huge compliment.

One of the most obvious signs that your beloved pet is fond of you, is the way that your cat greets you. When cats greet members of their social group they show signals to indicate friendship and a desire to move closer. Cats also show these signals to humans.Rolling overand exposing their vulnerable under belly is another gesture that a cat has ultimate trust in you. However cats prefer to be petted on the head and neck area, so this is not usually a request for a belly rub.
你心爱的宠物喜欢你的最明显的标志之一就是你的猫问候你的方式。当猫向它们的社会群体的成员打招呼时，它们会发出标志着友谊的信号，也希望更拉近彼此的距离。猫也会向人类发出这些信号。翻身露出脆弱的腹部是猫对你极度信任的另一个动作。然而，猫更喜欢被爱抚头部和颈部，所以这通常不是它们在要求做腹部按摩。
Your cat might also be secretly signalling their affection in the way they look at you. When cats encounter strange humans or other cats they don’t know, they usually greet them with an unblinking stare. But they are more likely to slowly blink at cats they have a good relationship with. Research suggests slow blinks are associated with a positive emotional state and can be a sign of trust, contentment and affection, similar to a human smile.
你的猫也可能通过看你的眼神来秘密地传达它们的爱意。当猫遇到陌生人或其他它们不认识的猫时，它们通常会目不转睛地盯着他们打招呼。但它们对跟自己关系良好的猫可能会慢慢眨眼。研究表明，缓慢眨眼与积极的情绪状态有关，是信任、满足和喜爱的标志，类似于人类的微笑。
