Chances are, the answer is yes. Your cat loves you. But how can you really know?

There are a number of ways your cat shows their love and affection toward their people. How many ways does your cat show their love for you?

  • purring while on or near you

  • rubbing against you

  • kneading on or near you

  • slow blinking with relaxed eye contact

  • tripping you or gently herding you

  • head butting you

  • greeting you

  • tail raising near you

  • watching you with constricted (slitted) eyes

  • accepting your affection

  • nipping you gently

  • licking you with that sandpaper-rough tongue

  • gifting you toys or other ‘presents’

  • rolling and stretching in your presence

  • demanding of something from you (no closed doors, no distracting phone, etc.)

  • meowing and trilling to you

  • snuggling near or with you

Does your cat express their love for you in any of these ways?

Czarina Grisha is a fluffy lynx point kitten walking on a bright red blanket with a heart shaped light shining in a soft moon-like glow behind him. It says Happy Valentine's Day along the edge of the heart.

As an Ailuraphile (eye-LOOR-uh-fyle), you love cats. And you especially love your own. So why not use Valentines Day as an annual reminder to show love to the cats and fellow ailuraphiles in your life. Click here for ideas.

  1. Local Cat Rescue(s) - check their social media for an online wishlist (or use ours), then knock some items off that list through food, litter, toys, and more!

  2. Local Veterinarian Clinic(s) - drop by with some chocolate for the staff and cat treats to help make their patients feel more comfortable (our list is full of ideas). Spread the love!

  3. Fellow Ailuraphiles - your friends and family who love cats would love your cat-themed gifts (we have a list of ideas here). Bring an unexpected smile to their day!

  4. Your Cat(s) - order some favourite or new toys and treats to spoil your precious feline family for this special day dedicated to love. Purr-fect!
