HOW THE MAINE COON RECOGNIZES THEIR MASTER

There are several signs that may indicate that your cat prefers you:

1. Physical Contact:

 If your MAINE COON cat likes to rub against you, snuggle up on your lap, or sleep next to you, this may be a sign that he prefers you.

2. Purring: 

MAINE COON cats often purr when they are relaxed and happy in the presence of someone they love. If your cat often purrs near you, this may be a sign that he prefers you.

3. Territorial marking:

MAINE COON cats mark their territory by rubbing their heads or bodies against objects and people they like. If your cat rubs you regularly, it's likely that she prefers you.

4. Play Behavior:

MAINE COON cats love to play, and if your cat regularly invites you to play with him, this may be a sign that he prefers you.

5. Gaze and communication:

Cats have subtle facial expressions and communication signals. If your MAINE COON cat often looks at you with soft eyes and blinks slowly, this may indicate that he likes and trusts you.

It is important to note that each MAINE COON cat has its own personality and preferences. Some cats may be more demonstrative in their affection than others. The important thing is to create a bond of trust and mutual respect with your cat, providing them with a safe environment and meeting their needs.



Here are some cat behaviors that can be interpreted as signs that they prefer you:

1. Rubbing: Cats have scent glands on their faces and bodies. If they rub against you, it means they mark you as part of their territory and consider you part of their family.

2. Purring: Purring is generally associated with a feeling of happiness and contentment in cats. If your cat purrs around you, it may be a sign that he feels safe and likes you.

3. Gifts: Cats are known to bring "gifts" to their owners, such as prey (often mice or birds). Although this may seem unpleasant, it is actually a sign of affection and trust from the cat.

4. Play: If your cat invites you to play with him, this can be interpreted as a sign that he prefers you. Play is a social activity for cats, and if they choose to play with you, it shows that they enjoy your company.

5. Sleeping nearby: Cats are very cautious animals and they only feel safe when they are sleeping. If your cat chooses to sleep near you, it means she trusts you and feels safe in your presence.

It's important to note that all cats have their own personalities and express affection in different ways. Some cats may be more demonstrative than others, but it is essential to respect each cat's individual rhythm and preferences.



Some cats bring "gifts" to their owners for several reasons:

1. Hunting Instinct: Cats are natural predators and their hunting instinct is very strong. When they bring prey (mice, birds, insects) to their owners, they demonstrate their natural hunting behavior. It's a way for them to show off their hunting skills and share their "loot" with their family.

2. Territorial marking: When a cat brings prey to its owner, it symbolically marks its territory. By giving these gifts, the cat shows that it considers its owner a member of its family and that it shares its territory with them.

3. Expression of affection: Although it may seem strange to us, cats bring "gifts" to their owners as a way of showing affection. It's a way for them to say "I love you" and to show their attachment to their human family.

4. Need for gratification: When a cat successfully catches prey, it can provide some gratification. By bringing these prey to their owners, cats also seek recognition and praise, which increases their sense of satisfaction.

It is important to note that not all cats bring back "gifts" to their owners, as this depends on their personality and hunting experience. Some cats may be more active in hunting and sharing prey, while others may not do so at all. This is an individual characteristic specific to each cat.
