What does the cat’s hands mean
One, relax your vigilance   ;
The cat is in this position while lying down. This position also shows that the cat feels comfortable and relaxed, and relaxes its vigilance. Because for cats, claws are an essential artifact for them to fight and run. Since the cat’s claws are all wrapped under the body, it means that the cat felt stable in the world at that time and did not feel threatened. Therefore, cats generally do this in the safest and familiar place in the house!
If the cat kicks hands and hands and is accompanied by yawning and stretching behaviors, it can better indicate that the cat is in a comfortable and comfortable state.
Second, the need for warmth
An American doctor has studied the social behavior of cats , it is concluded that in addition to the cat’s relaxation, the cat’s kicking may also be a way for the cat to keep warm.
In a specific temperature range, warm-blooded animals will minimize the energy used to regulate body metabolism and maintain body temperature, this specific temperature range is also known as the “thermoneutral zone”. For cats, the temperature range of the “thermoneutral zone” is 30-38°C, and the upper and lower limits are higher than those of humans. So when we are in a relatively suitable temperature environment, it is usually too low for cats.
So when you see a cat holding hands, don’t think the cat is playing cute, pay attention to check whether the cat feels cold, and actually take measures to keep it warm . Because the cat may do this to reduce heat loss.
Third, there is an injury and pain
There is another possibility that the cat kicks the hand The cat huddles up in pain because of an injury or illness. Generally, when a cat’s front paws are injured, he will stumble a bit in the state of combat power, and the pet owner can observe and judge based on this.
In addition, cats often kick their hands and lie down when they suffer from chronic kidney disease. However, the postures of cats when they feel relaxed and kicks and cats because of illness will be different. Slight differences, such as cats with their hands on their hands because they are sick usually stretch their necks forward and shrug their heads.
This is where we analyze the meaning of cat kicking behavior. Finally, a reminder to pet owners: cats are animals that are very good at concealing pain. Usually, they need to pay attention to observe and understand the various behaviors of cats. Once the cat is found to behave abnormally, it is necessary to take the cat for an examination in time.
