Why did the cat bring a pencil to bed?
Because it wanted to draw some attention!

Have you recently added a new furry friend to your family, or are you thinking about getting one? Cats are one of the most popular pets. They can be loving, relaxed, and a lot of fun. However, they can also be quite needy. Here are 15 funny signals your cat gives when they need attention.

Purring Loudly And Rubbing Against You

Cats love to be pet, and one of their go-to acts to get that is to rub themselves on your legs or arms. At first, it just gives them the same sensation as being pet. But as they live with you longer and learn routines, they will do this because they know you will pet them if they do! 

Meowing Persistently

Cats are usually known to be pretty quiet and well-behaved pets. But when they need to be heard, they most definitely will. They will meow at you consistently until you check up on them and help them get whatever it is that they need.

Nudging Or Pawing At You

While cats are usually known to be laid-back pets, they can get feisty. Sometimes, they will nudge their paws at you because they want to play with you! If you aren’t really into being playful with your pets, though, you can get many affordable and fun toys to keep them entertained.

Sitting Or Laying Close To You

Cats are loving animals, and sometimes, they just like to be in your presence. They will sit by you or lay in your lap. Sometimes, they just want to hang out, and sometimes, they want to be pet. What’s important to them is just getting your attention.

Following You Around

If your cat follows you around, it’s usually because it thinks you will do whatever it needs. This is usually a common sign that they need food or water. Cats are also curious animals, and they may just want to see what you’re up to.

Kneading Your Lap Or Chest

Everyone knows that cats have pretty sharp claws. In the wild, they use them to hunt prey to eat, but as pets, they do it for fun! It also helps them exercise their paws and keep their claws healthy.

Rolling Over To Expose Its Belly

Usually, when your cat rolls onto its back, it wants to play. Most cats aren’t really into belly rubbing. So, if your cat is doing this, it most likely just wants you to play with it, or maybe it just likes its belly rubbed. Remember that every living being is different in small ways.

Gazing At You With Wide Eyes

We have all heard of the phrase “puppy dog eyes,” but cats do the same thing. When they want attention or food, they can stare at you and widen their eyes as if to beg. It’s adorable, but if it’s because they are hungry or thirsty, you should check up on them.

Headbutting You Gently

Headbutting is one-way cats like to play with their owners. You can push against their head playfully, and they will love it. Just be careful when playing with your cat. Remember that they are small animals, and you don’t want to hurt them accidentally.

Bringing You Toys Or Gifts

Cats are really smart animals, they know what they want nine times out of ten. Some are even smart enough to drag their toys to you to make it obvious what they want. Spending time playing with your cat helps build a strong bond between the two of you.

Sitting In Your Favorite Spot

These cats have great memories and recognize patterns. If you have an area in your home where you are most of the time, when you leave, your cat will sit there and wait for you. They still like to explore and do their own thing, but if they miss you, they will sit there meowing until you come back to them.

Knocking Items Off Surfaces

Cats are curious about everything, and they are known to knock things off surfaces when they are bored and not getting the attention they want. If you don’t want a broken vase or glass cup, you might want to put it away or go give the little fur friend some attention.

Loud When You’re On The Phone

Cats meow a lot when they want attention. If they see you on your phone and you aren’t playing with them, they will meow long to interrupt you. How rude, but who could stay mad at a cute little kitty?

Staring At You While You’re Eating

Cats and dogs are similar in the way they want food. They like to eat with their humans, and if you are eating, they will stare at you so you can give them a little taste. Be careful with what you feed your pet cat; make sure it can have it healthy beforehand.
