In this video, you will learn 16 signs that indicate your cat is truly happy.









They use their litterbox
Cats communicate with their owners through the litter box. Happy cats use the litter pan as expected. If your cat has made a habit of missing the litter box, or eliminating somewhere else entirely, it is sign that they are anxious, stressed, or that they are suffering from an underlying medical issue.
They are playful
If your cat is healthy, comfortable, and happy, they are more likely to be playful. If they are stressed about something or in pain, they often won’t play much. So if your cat is lethargic or won’t engage with you, then they may be feeling unwell or unhappy.
Coat Appearance
Cats are fastidious when it comes to their grooming. A shiny, clean coat is a sign of good health.
An unhappy cat will have uneven fur and disheveled look. They may even start to neglect their grooming routine.
Deep sleep
Cats who are happy in their homes are more likely to let themselves sleep deeply and comfortably, even when you’re around.
And if your feline friend chooses to sleep in your room or next to you, rejoice! That means your cat really trusts you.

A healthy appetite
Happy cats tend to have healthy appetites.
If your feline companion refuses to eat or has a diminished appetite, it could be a sign that they’re not feeling well, or that they’re experiencing anxiety or stress.
They make a chirping or trilling sound
Have you ever heard your feline friend make a highpitched chirping sound—kind of like a cross between a meow and a purr? This sound is almost always a sign of a positive emotion or a welcoming vibe. It often happens when your cats are pleased or excited.
They bond with other cats
A happy cat who’s well settled will have good relationships with the other cats in your house.
They blink slowly at you
Blinking may seem like the most common motion to us, but for felines, it’s a sign that they trust you. That’s because when cats are blinking, their guard is down, and that shows they’re happy and content.
They rub against you
Felines have scent glands on their forehead, chins, and cheeks that release pheromones. By rubbing their face on you, your cat is depositing their unique scent on you and marking you as a buddy. In other words, your cat is happy to be with you.
Their tail is in the “question mark” position
Cats use tail positions to tell you how they are feeling. It’s their way of letting you know when they are happy and content, feeling scared, threatened, or even in pain. Happy, confident cats hold their tail upright or in a question mark position. These cats are in a good mood and usually ready to interact.
They want to cuddle
Though cats may be viewed as solitary, independent animals who prefer to do their own thing, they also enjoy cuddles and spending time with their favorite person. Sleeping curled up with another family member—animal or human—is a sign of pure love and trust. In other words, these cats are happy in their relationships and are expressing their love for another.
Your cat shows you its tummy.
If your cats roll over and show off their underside to you, it is a sign that they are happy. Cats who expose their belly are in a very vulnerable position. Showing their vulnerable parts indicates comfort, contentment, and trust. Anxious or unhappy cats will hunker down to hide or get into a defensive position, ready to fight.
They knead or make biscuits
You might have noticed your cat making a strange kneading motion on a soft surface
such as a pillow, blanket, or even you. It’s completely adorable, but it’s also a sign that your feline friend is in a very good mood.
Cats are feeling happy and safe when they knead.
They purr
Most people recognize purring as a sign of a happy cat. For the most part, if your feline friend is purring, you can be assured that they are happy and content. But there are exceptions to this rule.
Cats also purr when they are in pain or nervous. But this is often paired with negative body language such as laying their ears flat, putting their head down, or hiding.
