Yay, managed to get this one! And sharing it with everyone who, like me, can’t view stuff on the iPlayer.

for example

actually holding eye contact with you and blinking slowly is how cats ‘kiss’

cats choose to sleep or sit next to you even if you’re busy when they have a million other places to be because they like your company

they consider positive attention love

when they ‘headbutt’ you it’s called ‘bunting’ and it’s how they show affection

when they knead you it’s because they feel comforted

they think of you petting them as grooming- it makes them feel good so they will ask for you to pet them (or demand) especially if they’re feeling sad

cats like to step on you because they mark you with their scent from their little feet telling other cats BACK THE FUCK OFF THIS HUMAN IS MINE

cats will lick you or groom you because they want you to be clean and happy

they bring you dead things because they don’t want you to starve

cats think of humans as parents whereas dogs think of humans as the alpha dog
