Why do cats always like to do hand-holding movements?

　1. Make yourself more comfortable

In fact, cats like to hold hands, just because it makes them more comfortable. Because cats have a peculiar bone and joint structure, when a cat is lying down, it is more comfortable to put its paws up than to lie on the ground. Therefore, in order to make it more comfortable for itself, the cat puts its hands up.

2. Keeping warm is the most important

Although the fur on cats is quite thick, it is not particularly warm. When it is cold, cats prefer to put their hands on their hands, actually just to keep warm. After all, cats’ sweat glands are underdeveloped and they rely on their flesh pads to dissipate heat. In winter, in order to prevent the heat from dissipating too quickly, they can only use their hands. In order to keep warm, cats also work hard.

3. Protect your claws

Cats’ nails are very sharp. If they accidentally catch someone, they need to be vaccinated against rabies. Therefore, many pet owners will trim their cats’ nails regularly. In addition, many pet owners also like to suck their cats’ claws. In order to protect their claws, cats can only hide them and prevent their owners from touching them.

4. Expression of trust in the owner

Cats are very vigilant. When sleeping, they will find a position that allows them to escape quickly so that they can deal with unexpected accidents. However, the action of a cat holding its hands is not conducive to the cat's escape. The reason why the cat likes it shows that it trusts its owner very much and feels that the owner can protect itself. If you want your cat to trust you more, interact more with your cat and reward your cat with appropriate snacks. The effect will be better.
