Cats aren't snobs, but they act different with some people and some...
As strange as this attitude may seem, this is an indication that the relationship between you and your kitty is excellent. Read on and find out why kittens show such a private part to their owner.
Why does your cat show its butt?
In general terms: because he trusts and likes you very much! In nature, raising the tail and showing the bottom is a type of greeting between cats. Yes, we know, feline communication is curious. When one cat meets another, they “offer the crotch”. It is there that an exchange of information takes place through odors and pheromones.
By the way, it is worth adding some information about pheromones here: they do not only have a sexual function. These hormones also pass messages between one animal and another, such as territory and even stress levels.
childhood mania
When they are kittens, the mother cat has the habit of licking the area with two objectives: cleaning and stimulating the kittens to defecate. It's no wonder that animals associate habit with affection and affection.
If your kitten likes you and your cuddle a lot, this is one of the reasons he has to show you his butt. Of course, he doesn't expect you to pass your tongue there, but they certainly associate one thing with another.
I trust you
Another reason your pet shows you his butt is because he trusts you enough. Felines are excellent hunters and have a great perception of danger, so they tend to always face the prey or enemy.
If he has his back to you, he is showing confidence and he knows he can be vulnerable in your presence. The same happens when he lies on his back next to you.
What to do when your cat shows its butt?
Anything. Just act natural. Cuddle him where he likes the most and he can move on with his life.
If he doesn't do that to you, it doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't love you. Remember that cats have different personalities, just like us. He can show his love in other ways.
